I think you wrote the opposite of what you meant to write.

Can you explain to me why, despite "full type safety, autocomplete and validation" being the focus of "typed-ffmpeg", it makes sense to be passing width and height (or the x and y co-ordinates) as strings here?
``` .drawbox(x="50", y="50", width="120", height="120", color="red", thickness="5") ```

I've now enabled amazon.co.uk. Have at it!

I'm in talks with them to allow access. They're a little pickier about what sites can become a member of their advertising program.

And that's just what I did with https://github.com/kopf/dyndns-autologin . A few months later, they discontinued the free service altogether.
Somewhat sadly, it was my github project that seemed at times to garner the most interest from outside, even though it was just a shoddy python script thrown together in a 10 minute cigarette break at work.

I'll be keeping an eye on logs and AWS expenditure to see if this becomes a problem. :)
I'm not one to jump to the nuclear option of banning clients outright - if I notice behaviour that's harmful and needs to be corrected, I'll email the individuals concerned and talk them through how to use the service more efficiently, while also improving my own documentation on the website (which I admit isn't as thorough as I'd like).

I don't want to sound off-hand, but - what are you worried about?
The application is basically a thin layer in front of AWS's Route 53. All user data is stored safely and securely.
Are you just as suspicious of popular applications that sprang up from hackdays?

I'm afraid pagekite addresses a different problem to zzzz.

I use it myself, so it'll be up for the foreseeable future. Enjoy.

> it does not address the real issues of DNS management: space to store all zone data, bandwidth to support requests flow, resources to handle the load.
You're absolutely right! However, as you said, it solves the user's problem from their point of view.
The main reason I started this project was that other dyndns alternatives (whether they be proxies or "fully-fledged" operations) have rather ugly domain names, in my opinion. 'zzzz' popped into my head, I saw that 'zzzz.io' was free, and decided to get it. A few weeks later, I finally got around to throwing a webapp together so others could benefit.
Not such a horrible thing to do, or?
And yes, the service is backed up by Amazon's Route 53. I did learn a thing or two about BIND and DNS from the experience though, which is also a plus.
