Are you talking about deploying for the first time or for every release cycle? The former is done infrequently, usually once. So shouldn't be a big deal. The latter has options ranging from good old SCP to CI/CD like GitHub action

Ideas are everywhere but maybe difficult to spot the ones that can be monetized, especially if you want a micro project. If you don't really mind the monetary aspect and just want to build something, there's plenty of options. I&#

I second this recommendation. I've had Blackadder on my library for a long time but never got into it. Then a week ago I saw a reddit post of Blackadder teaching Baldrick how to count with beans[1] and found it damn hilarious. Turns ou

Back in 2000s Google used to be the place for any type of search (IIRC). Now, I've been conditioned to use it only for specific use cases, mostly for convenience. Some examples include: 1. Anything programming related (searching for ma

To add on to your observation, reading mode is even better to look at and loads just shy of 16KB. As an aside, I still don't understand what Web3 aims to solve but I feel Web 2 is good enough if people don't go crazy with js, imag

Glacier Deep is the cheapest option. It does come with a catch that there's a minimum of 180 days commitment for their infrequent access tier. Last time I checked, the cost for US-East-1 is roughly like this: At $0.00099/GB/m

Absolutely. I watch a ton of movies & tv shows; all from the comfort of my personal library and I love the experience. Though, mine is only 55", my next upgrade would be much bigger.
