<p>I was surprised to come across new "Postgres Advanced" options and a pricing calculator on the add-on page today: <a href="https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-postgresql" rel="nofollow">https://elements.heroku.com/addons/heroku-postgresql</a><p>The article is dated October 2025, but I don't recall ever hearing about this before, and it doesn't look like anything has ever been posted on HN.<p>The separation of storage and compute is new for Heroku, though they are not the first to do so. So far it seems like there's still only fixed combinations of vCPU and RAM, and that the price of each "no storage included" instance is more than the equivalent storage-included "Classic" instance size.</p>

<p>AI-related definitions aside, if it's a strictly subtractive/destructive tool that only removes light, it's hard to characterise as "generative" and arguably not much different to filtering frequencies!</p>

<p>You're absolutely correct and it's me who has mis-read that part. The point of the oddly relaxed wording on sexual images and behaviour still stands though!</p>

<p>From the Code of Conduct:<p>> Unacceptable behaviors include but are not limited to: offensive comments, insults, jokes or ridicule; gratuitous or off-topic sexual images or behavior in spaces where they are nor other unappropriately aggressive behaviors; threats of violence or deliberate intimidation; creating additional online accounts in order to harass another person or circumvent a ban; harassment of any form.<p>I can't help but wonder who decided that, in an <i>electronics</i> forum of all places, *any* form of joke should be unacceptable, but sexual images are only a problem if they are gratuitous or off-topic!</p>

<p>Our site is fine, including files served by Cloudflare's CDN and Cloudflare Workers, but the Cloudflare dashboard is definitely down.<p>The Cloudflare status page says that it's the dashboard and Cloudflare APIs that are down. I wonder if the problem is focused on larger sites because they are more dependent on / integrated with Cloudflare APIs. Or perhaps it's only an Enterprise tier feature that's broken.<p>If it's not <i>everything</i> that is down, I guess things are slightly more resilient than last time?</p>

<p>Salesforce Service Cloud is affected by the issue too, so if they are dogfooding their own customer service software there's a good chance their support team are locked out of accessing support cases too :/<p><a href="https://status.salesforce.com/generalmessages/10001540" rel="nofollow">https://status.salesforce.com/generalmessages/10001540</a></p>

<p>It's worth noting that including Critical CSS in every page load isn't the only way to use it.<p>A lot of unnecessary bloat can be avoided by only including it when it looks like a user is visiting for the first time (and likely hasn't got the CSS files cached already) or only using the Critical CSS technique for pages that commonly come at the start of a session.</p>

<p>It's worth noting that penthouse's last release is a few weeks shy of 3 years ago (<a href="https://github.com/pocketjoso/penthouse/releases/tag/v.2.3.3">https://github.com/pocketjoso/penthouse/releases/tag/v.2.3.3</a>).<p>Given there seem to be few other Critical CSS tools out there, its utility in driving web performance, and the fact Google's web.dev recommended tool (<a href="https://github.com/addyosmani/critical">https://github.com/addyosmani/critical</a>) uses penthouse under the hood, I'm surprised there isn't more effort and/or sponsorship going into helping maintain it.</p>

<p>I've picked up an Echo Dot a few years ago when Amazon were practically giving them away, thinking that surely someone would have jailbroken it by now to allow it to be used with Home Assistant.<p>It was only after researching later that I discovered that this wasn't currently possible and recommended approach was to buy some replacement internals that cost more than the device itself (and if I recall correctly, more than the new Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition).</p>
