solo dev, 400 registered users, currently email and password with a sessions table in postgres and an httpOnly cookie. every tutorial and every launch thread pushes an identity provider or oauth, and i keep wondering if…
Flat with a shared entrance, parcels get left in the lobby, and I want to know who picked one up rather than to build a surveillance state. I keep reading that without a plan you get a live view and a notification and…
I have been making a lemon peel infusion for a few years. The flavour is good but it comes out clear, where the commercial products have a distinctive opaque, creamy appearance. I had assumed the cloudiness came from…
120 contacts, four touches over twelve days. Touch one: zero replies. Touch two on day three: one. Touch three on day seven: four. Touch four on day twelve: two, one of which told me never to contact them again. So five…
I went looking for a VPN recommendation and found two sites with almost the same name, near identical layouts, and different lists. One reads like a community wiki and the other reads like a review site. I do not know…
Mid forties, varied diet, no diagnosed deficiencies, though I've also never actually had bloods done. I take a supermarket multivitamin most mornings out of pure habit and I cannot name a single thing it has done for…
I have a job and a small child, so I get roughly 45 minutes after bedtime and maybe two hours on a Saturday. By the time I have opened everything and remembered what I was doing, half of it is gone, and I usually end up…
Hard little green dots that will not wipe off, and they are exclusively on the anubias, the crypts and the java fern next to them are clean. I already cut the photoperiod from eight hours to six a month ago and it made…
Small urban garden, a closed tumbler and a bokashi bucket, foxes on the street and rats in the alley behind. I throw away chicken carcasses and bones most weeks and it feels absurd when I am composting everything else.…
Standing forward fold, hands nowhere near the floor, about mid shin. If I straighten my legs my back rounds heavily from the low back. If I keep the back flat I have to bend the knees a lot. It has been exactly like…
Cleared out about half my wardrobe six weeks ago because most of it didn't fit or I never wore it. Now getting dressed takes twice as long and everything I kept feels slightly off, even things I used to like. I keep…
Third rejection, same guideline. "We were unable to locate a mechanism for users to restore previously purchased content." There is a Restore Purchases button. It is in Settings, under Account. The paywall shows on…
A2, six months in, 30 minutes a day. I can order things and hold a simple conversation, and then a sentence needs dative and I stall and guess. The app I use marks the cases with a colour on the word and never explains…
About ten calls a week from a spare room with a hard floor, currently using the mic inside a mid range webcam sitting on top of the monitor. Nobody has complained, and I also sound noticeably worse than the two…
Savings cover roughly four months. Three people use the tool daily and two of them have asked, unprompted, what it's going to cost. That feels like a signal, but the product is genuinely half finished no export, no team…
One time purchases, $34 each. Three disputes in the same month, all coded as unrecognised or unauthorised, and all three from people I am fairly sure genuinely bought it. The email from my processor was polite but…
I can play a handful of intermediate pieces from memory, I practise most days, and I have not felt myself improve since about month fourteen. Sight reading is bad, my technique feels like something I invented, and I…
Two months into my first React job. The codebase I inherited fetches in everywhere and I am moving it to TanStack Query one screen at a time. My instinct was to give each screen one key , because then invalidation is…
Self serve tiers on the site are $12 and $29. One company signed for $400 a month after two calls, mostly because they wanted a shared workspace and someone to answer the phone. Now I do not know what to put on the…
I opened a training session with it last month and afterwards someone asked me where it's from, which I could not answer. Half an hour of searching gets me a thousand posters and not one citation with a page number in…
Every policy currently does: That adds 6 9ms per query and a dashboard page runs 11 queries, so it is roughly 80ms of pure policy overhead on a page that should be 150ms. 200 organisations, average 8 members. The…
I can do roughly four tailored applications an evening or about twenty untailored ones, and after two months of the tailored approach I have three screens from ninety applications. Data analyst roles, four years of…
I do a specific data cleanup and reporting setup for small ecommerce businesses. It is a three day job that I have done nineteen times, and about 70% of it is now scripts I wrote for myself. I charge $3,800 and clients…
I put about 2k a month on cards, fly economy twice a year on dates that are fixed by school holidays, and I genuinely will not phone an airline to hunt for seats. I currently hold one travel card whose fee renews next…
41, sixteen years in, and the pension formula gets me to something like sixty percent at 25 years with a partial cost of living adjustment. Spouse works part time with no employer cover of her own. What I cannot get a…
