It lags behind CPython in features and currently only supports Python versions up to 3.11. There was a big discussion a month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47293415

I suppose it’s there to avoid round-trip to the DB. Most of us just need to host the DB on the same machine instead, but given sharding is involved, I assume the product is big enough this is undesirable.

Reading “hex” pointing to a clearly base62-ish string was a bit interesting :-)

Also, could we shard based on a short hash of account_id, and store the same hash in the token? This way we can lose the whole api_key → account_id lookup table in the metashard altogether.

What’s your threat model?

Is that what they call WYSIWYG? :eyes:

But 11ty really was so much simpler if all you need is to put together some templates, and don’t want to deal with component stuff. That said, the docs really are lacking in some parts.

This was the beauty of 11ty. It just puts together HTML files from templates, and maybe handles sitemap and RSS if you need. That will probably change now.

[1]: Just be sure to set `htmlTemplateEngine` to false in the config, if you don’t want to use templating features in your posts: https://www.11ty.dev/docs/languages/html/ https://www.11ty.dev/docs/template-overrides/

I’m wondering what custom colours you could do with that process btw!

Hetzner, DigitalOcean, OVH, Vultr are some of the better-known ones. Personally, I’m very happy with SSD Nodes. Paying $90/yr for a 4 vCPU¹ / 16 GB / 320 GB SSD, had some downtime exactly once in two years (they’ve had to switch their IPv4 space in Tokyo). Affiliate link: https://ale.sh/r/ssdnodes

[1]: Intel Xeon E5-2650 v4 (4) @ 2.199GHz – not great, I know, but to reiterate: that’s for $90 a year.

But I agree with the author on custom CLI tooling. I don’t want to install another opaque binary on my machine just to call some API endpoints.
