How's it feel to take a pet project from the need of an annoyed blog hoster to the forefront of the LLM crawling discussion? :D

Even if a lot of discussion is ignorant, we can still observe that it works infinitely better for 95% of society in other countries where they handle it differently.

Eh. There‘s a cultural background factor to this.

I swear this is untrue. Half the names of ikea products allude to funny words in German.

I'm willing to bet that 95% of people using tailscale for CI have a 90 day (max days) ephemeral, reusable auth key somewhere in their setup.

> The problem I had was that the entire experience became really slow when I had it all working together as one "response".

Wow. With a web service in Go or any similar language that would measure in the thousands, at least.

PayPal Germany is a different beast. Germans are the only country that majorly doesn't rely on Credit Cards when doing online payment.
