Is this OSS?
Comment · 1 year ago
How would you compare it with activepieces.com? It’s also self hostable but OSS license.

Its the latter. The project does good work so don't want to dump on the project.

When one sees source code on Github, one assumes that its OSS, but its not and thats why I share that.

The license is a fair code license and it says "is commercially restricted by its authors" and its not clear what commercially restricted really means here.

This is so nostalgic. I actually met my cofounder on github due to a discussion on twisted vs gevent back in 2011. I had my inital code in twisted and he wrote the gevent piece. Fast forward 12 years and we still use gevent at http://plivo.com :)

Some of our initial code snippets:

# Twisted

def __protocolSendRaw(self, name, args=""): deferred = defer.Deferred() self.__EventQueue.append((name, deferred)) self.rawSend("%s %s" % (name, args)) return deferred

# Gevent

def _protocol_sendmsg(self, name, args=None, async=False): if self._closing_state: return Event() _async_res = gevent.event.AsyncResult() _uuid, event = _async_res.get() return event

I shared my exp below on one of the comments, sharing here too - I think overall the quality is significantly poorer on GPT4 with plugins and bing browsing enabled. If you disable those, I am able to get the same quality as before. The outputs are dramatically different. Would love to hear what everyone else sees when they try the same.

Founder of https://www.plivo.com here. We have seen similar patterns of fraud on our customers primarily in the international markets, outside the US & Canada. It typically happens on repeating number ranges that are sometimes not even in service. MaxPrice approach did not work well based on our experience as this would lead to just blocking certain destinations completely. Alternatively, what we found better was have a geo permissions related options where customers could block destinations that are never used at a network level and additionally introduce rate limits for those networks, so its not open to an attack.
