Ok, but _should_ you be fired? And - if so - why?

And still people will continue to use their services. :(

I love it. It would also be nice to be able to a) enter desired distance, and b) choose the metric system.

Oh, we westerners know...

I'd assume we want at least human-level intelligence, but better than human-level _decision making_. ;)

I have been very happy with github for _years_. Lately, not so much. Now I want to try a self-hosting alternative again. I tried gitlab years ago (pre-pandemic, IIRC), and it wasn't for me (they had _serious_ security issues as well, which of course didn't affect my self-hosting thing, but still...).

So - where do we stand in August 2026?

*EDIT:* No, I don't want anything related to Felon Musk.

It's the other way around for me: as 99% of the stuff I develop is .NET (and I use EF Core for database stuff), I can get away with SQLite for local development, prototyping (and even staging), and then just "flip a switch" for it to run on production PostgreSQL.

Both are amazing technologies.

Compared to coal plants, which are _extremely_ cool-looking. /s

Is it just me, or does this sound like the pricing change is somehow retroactive, i.e. I have to pay extra for already used (and paid for) tokens?

This way of thinking is what's wrong with USA (among many other things).

You don't (or at least shouldn't) hire lots of people because it's cheap.

"Good artists copy; great artists steal" - Pablo Picasso, but was also used by Steve Jobs, ironically.

I've been doing the same-ish workload the past week (the graph shows the whole month), and it's been consistently on $10 USD/day.

Yesterday, however, spiked at $50 USD, and after just 2 hours of "activity" today, it's already at $10 USD.

What's going on?

> I put Proxmox on it [...]

How, exactly? Doesn't it require phyiscal access to the server?
