> In fact I don't recall ever seeing an ad for tiktok and yet it is humongous.

For the first years of its existence I only new tiktok because they were advertising everywhere.

This is 100% LLM generated; website, documentation and tutorials. There is no link to downloads or a repository. No way to use anything.

Why should anyone care about this?

These exist. There is "Consent-O-Matic" for example

At my former company we paid 900€/month for 1Gbit/s, which we required. That's definitely a problem when the same performance is available for ~50€/month a few kilometers over the border (in the Netherlands).

In rural regions workshops output is limited by their internet speed as the can only download that many CAD files from customer per day.

Reasons I can think of (as a German) from the top of my head:

- Crumbling infrastructure

- Decades of missing investments in education and the public sector

- no digitization

- Unwillingness to move away from ICE vehicles

- Slow internet access and slow build out of fiber network

- Killing future industries (solar, battery ...) by cutting funding/subsidies early

- low wages in European comparison

The main reason I use postgres instead of SQLite is that I have multiple processes accessing the database, often 1 web service for API/Website and a worker running in the background doing heavy tasks (e.g. image processing). Both need access to the database and SQLite will run into locking issues.

How do you overcome this with SQLite and Django?

IIRC there has been a case in Germany where it was ruled that opening devtools is hacking and therefore illegal intend. A person found a vulnerability by looking at the website source (using devtools) and informed the company. They then sued him using the "Hackerparagraph" (§ 202c StGB) for use of hacker tools.

This isn't a trade "just on paper". You need real hardware integrated into the grid.

I'm working on my own mini time series database.

It only stores (timestamped) floating point values with a series id and uses a B+Tree as the backing data structure. Querying is done with a lisp-like query language.

I used and am now using plain git over ssh. I only hosted gitea to have my code accessible for anyone interested.

My "main" projects I want to keep public are moved/cloned to GitHub, the rest I just don't bother with any longer.
