i have no data to back this up but in the past cloudflare was much more lax with piracy sites and I can imagine that Azure is stricter with blocking them

just wait until they block Azure as well so the official La Liga site also stops working

i always wondered what prompts codex / claude code use but always figured they just send variables to the backend and render the whole prompt there so i never even bothered to check with a MITM proxy. turns out i should have just done that…

I am aware of those but there are no signs of this being related to an Azure outage nor did I find any signs that there even was an Azure outage.

kinda offtopic but as somehow currently outgrowing trellos capabilities, do you have any good suggestions instead of Jira?

Nice idea, but I'd love a more open approach to this (or more support for OpenTofu / Terraform). This is just another vendor-locked-in way and might only work with selected platforms.

Stripe has the incentive to add platforms that use Stripe as a payment processor so they can cash on the payment fees, they don't really have any incentive to add a platform that doesn't bring money to them (except affiliates are possible with this)

Ohh we had a similar experience with Google Cloud. Added our organization and Domain into their Auth system and suddenly all users were migrated into a (invisible / transparent) workspace and could no longer use their calendar or google drive as the workspace had no free usage like you have on a normal free tier.

It increases to 365 days, no? At least thats the longest I can sign my app and I use a personal but paid Apple Developer Account

so Apple then? They require you to pay the $99 yearly fee to sideload for more than 7 days

As a non python dev I really thought UV and TY are great tools and liked their approaches but I don't know how good it is that they are privately held... no a fan

Yea absolutely. I am using GPT 5.2 / 5.2 Codex with OpenCode and it just doesn't get what I am doing or looses context. Claude on the other side (via GitHub Copilot) has no problem and also discovers the repository on it's own in new sessions while I need to basically spoonfeed GPT. I also agree on the speed. Earlier today I tasked GPT 5.2 Codex with a small refactor of a task in our codebase with reasoning to high and it took 20 minutes to move around 20 files.

Yea I think its the same in germany (at least with dairy products)

Also (at least in germany) their burger patties are nearly twice as expensive as groundbeef. I really like them but since I am neither vegan or vegetarian I either opted to groundbeef or to haloumi or something as a replacement. I think the substitutes could work well when they are reasonably priced or actually cheaper than what they want to replace so people are more likely to try it. Same goes with soy milk. Alpro costs like 2.80€/L while common dairy milk is less than a euro per liter.

I now wonder if it'd be a good idea to move our end to end tests to a pretty slow vm instead of beefy 8 core 32gb ram machine and check which timeouts will be triggered because our app may have been unoptimized for slower environments...

a stranger i once talked to at the gym told me "every workout is better than the workout you are not doing" and that kinda changed my perspective on that topic.

Interestingly I am getting an access denied error on that page. Anyway your comment basically answers my question because I wondered how they would perform maintenance when the server breaks the moment you pull it out the rack.
