We had the same experience. So today, we are used to close our account ourselves before the 'neo' bank does it. No time to tell details now, have to drive to our bank to hand over a cheque.
"Together they sent 66.5k requests to our site within a single day."
Only scriptkiddies are getting into problems by such low numbers. Im sure security is your next 'misconfiguration'. Better search an offline job in the entertainment industries.
I know the language earned you the downvotes (please be kind), but the author of the article is ex Google and ex AWS, I too would expect some better infra in place (caching?) and certainly not Vercel.
Hi, I'm the author of the blog (though I didn't post it on HN).
Some context here.
I was actually a PM at Google & AWS, not an engineer. Even though I have a CS degree, I had not been professionally coding for almost 20 years. This is my comeback to software development and I've got a lot to catch up on. Hope this sets the stage appropriately.
I mentioned in an earlier comment that we didn't actually build the site and it was on a back-burner until we added episode pages and got hit by costs. It's a lesson learned indeed and we're now treating the website as a first-class citizen in our stack.
I am using JSONDiffpatch made by Benjamín Eidelman some years in production now. It is perfect, works in a browser and on a node/cloudflare worker/etc.
How does JSON Patch compare to JSONDiffpatch? It is not mentioned in the alternatives list.
How does it do with array insertion? I didn't like how most diffs handle them so I smashed together two pieces of code I found elsewhere to get something I thought was better. https://github.com/kybernetikos/fogsaadiff
I remember using that package (and it's compatible .NET implementation) ages ago, glad to see it's still around and being maintained.
I remember testing out various libraries (not sure if a proper JSON Patch library was already around back then, looking at the spec I think it should...) and picking it over all the others because it handled complex objects and arrays way better than all the others.
From the site:
"Privacy-friendly with no tracking:
Your privacy is important. The WiFi4EU app ensures a private online experience with no tracking or data collection."
This app can only be installed via the GOOGLE/APPLE app stores, so this is a lie.
Not all free apps are on F-Droid, because a) very few companies/projects want to/can be trusted to provide and maintain an up-to-date F-Droid repository of their own, and installing repositories is less-than user friendly to say the least and b) the standard repository only contains open-source applications _that have had their build system modified to match F-Droid's_ and have been vetted by the project.
With F-Droid requiring either of those options by design, I don't think we'll see many government-run projects get F-Droid repositories.
That said, I doubt anyone will have a problem grabbing the .apk from somewhere internet and installing it that way.
I'm annoyed that they made this project app-based. I'd like to be able to use my computer on one of these networks...
