I've been using these extensively since February/March. Built 3 apps with those skills and rewrote 2 large ecommerce businesses (ERP/CRM/MarketingOps/storefront/automations, hundreds of tables, dashboards with myriad forms) with huge success.
I even built a front end for an ancient ERP (90s tech, written in Delphi) and automated the hell out of it. Stuff that would have taken me months, maybe a year, of solo work got done super fast. I won't claim the output was always perfect, and I fried my brain reviewing the code, but the job got done.

Got bit by that on my 2 businesses. Took Cloudflare a while to update their status page about it.

Nothing philosophical here. Whatever makes you productive.
I own the git, the runners, the registry etc and just use GH for backup. GH cannot interrupt suddenly my business.

Github is an extra layer of backup, among normal backups.
[edit]
Notable reasons:
- Github runners went oftenly out of space & they were slow. With self hosted runners I don't have these issues anymore because I control the hardware.
Previously I was paying Docker Build Cloud/Depot for performance + Github Pro for extra minutes. Now it's zero cost, superb performance and unlimited minutes.
- I have a centralized registry with private packages and images.
- It's secure, I don't worry if I accidentally make a repo public or leak secrets. I control the access to it in network level.
- I own everything, in case something goes nuts (eg lose access to GH) I'm safe.

It's been 9 months since I ditched Github.
Currently I self-host Gitea [0], use its registry for Docker, NPM etc and act runners [1] for github actions alternative, everything secured under tailnet.
I'm extremely satisfied with that setup. It is batteries included & fire and forget.
Now I use Github only as backup by mirroring my self hosted repos.

> I know people also use *arr stack ... i never /know/ what to watch
For discoverability you should check overseerr, which is pluggable via API to sonarr and radarr

> You built your own Klaviyo alternative to save €500, but how many hours of development at market rate did that cost? The true Greek economy at work!
ouch (ㅠ﹏ㅠ)

SEEKING WORK | Greece | Remote only | Ecommerce Architect / Marketing Operations
Looking for companies in the B2B/D2C e-commerce sector in niche markets.
I have more than 10 years of experience in the software and marketing aspects of B2B/B2C e-commerce (Europe & US). For the past 2 years, I took a deep dive into D2C as a Technical Co-Founder of a fragrance-related brand (https://yuma.gr), successfully positioning us in the premium market at the lowest cost possible, by developing the e-commerce and ERP platform in-house.
I can handle all aspects of e-commerce with a focus on growth. Examples include:
- Extensive Google & Facebook Ads automation at scale via their APIs
- Distributed bots for scraping millions of SKUs daily for dynamic pricing
- Deep & proven knowledge of e-commerce & ERP architecture & development
- Complex and custom-made solutions (e.g., in-house developed Klaviyo alternative)
- Creative approaches to streamlining internal operations
- Frontend performance & SEO micro-optimization
- Landing page optimization for conversions
I prefer long-term commitments and typically work on projects for 6 months to 1 year, as I treat each project as my own. Having developed my D2C brand to a technical level that now requires only maintenance and marketing, my schedule has become more flexible. I'm ready to help companies in different markets while expanding my skills and knowledge.

I'm currently in the same position regarding 8mm digital8. After researching, I believe the best way to digitize these is to obtain a compatible used camcorder with a DV/Firewire port, then install a DV/Firewire PCI card to stream and record the video to your PC.

You are right, I used the wrong wording here. I meant crystals, not powder. I used the word 'powder' unconsciously because when I was raving, I would break those crystals into powder form to control the dosage better.
Anyway, regarding the difference between ecstasy and MDMA, from personal experience, I cannot remember a time when the effects were the same. Every time I took a pill, the effect was totally different from MDMA. MDMA provided a more 'pure' experience, whereas with advertised 'ecstasy' pills, I experienced hallucinations, memory loss, and a very heavy hangover.

In papers maybe, but in the streets, Ecstasy is the pill form of MDMA and is usually cut with other substances (e.g., speed, LSD, etc.). Therefore, when saying "Ecstasy," someone would expect a pill in a funny shape, whereas with "MDMA," they would expect powder.

Thanks! The shop currently is Greek only and I disabled google translate sitewide because it breaks React (https://issues.chromium.org/issues/41407169)
