The most common way to achieve HÁ is using Patroni. The easiest way to set it up is using Autobase (https://autobase.tech).

CloudNativePG (https://cloudnative-pg.io) is a great option if you’re using Kubernetes.

There’s also pg_auto_failover which is a Postgres extension and a bit less complex than the alternatives, but it has its drawbacks.

Yes, I’ve done it using StreamingHttpResponse. You’ll want to use an asynchronous worker type though.

Can you explain how the encryption works, who holds the keys, etc in detail? Your website seems to be very light on details.

That’s insanely low! In Portugal the minimum required by law is 6.45 million for victims and 1.30 for property damage, per accident. A policy like this can cost as little as 250€ / year.

I assume these low limits in US insurance also affect material damages so that if you crash into an expensive car you just get a bunch of debt you need to pay off?

50 is literally faster than Tour de France pros maintain on flat ground. A regular person on a normal bike will have a hard time even doing 30.

Ah yes I forgot about Ireland! It’s the only one though

I’d have to read this specific decision but my opinion is that while the GDPR says the user can refuse consent “by automated means” it doesn’t specify what those means are, thus making it quite hard to follow, enforce and therefore likely that other courts will decide differently on similar cases. E.g. would my own “X-Tracking-Is-Stupid: don’t track me” header be valid as refusing consent? What if I add it as a query parameter in the URL? And so on - DNT is not special in the eyes of the law.

Germany is not a common law country and neither are any other EU countries. Higher court decisions (which I don’t think is the case here) can set jurisprudence but it’s not the same thing as in a common law system.

Also national court decisions do not apply to other member states.

I made a couple thousand when I was 14 making and selling cheats for online games. I blew most of it on games and computer parts, which were things that as a kid from a poor family I would have never been able to have otherwise.

I’m not proud of the mayhem that my cheats caused, but it was a defining moment in my life - I learned a lot and soon started doing small jobs for various companies, starting a career in software before I was even an adult.
