They're not inactive so there's no reason to move them.

I also have Github and Bitbucket accounts if necessary.

The problem is that there's nothing between $0/month and $19/month.

I would happily pay $20-50 a year for a "Solo" GitLab plan.

I have a handful of small repos hosted by GitLab. I don't use CICD for those repos.

I'm in South Korea and the banner claims I'm in United Arab Emirates, however it shows the correct flag for my location. 218.146.64.x is my IP address range.

Thanks for writing the book!

Before they split off into 2 apps? Data went to them, not the other way round.

The link at the bottom of the content is:

"Please consider backing us on Kickstarter so that we can share more this story and 99% of crowdfunding stories that will inspire you."

I do understand that the scam isn't the focus of the documentary, I just find it ironic financing a movie about crowdfunding through crowdfunding.

I find it more interesting that they are crowdfunding unravelling the alleged crowdfunding scam.

The communication needs to improve at every step. I've just discovered that my one-off scan is actually a daily scan.

I admit that my intent was curiosity rather than something I actually need, however there are more things happening in the background than expected.

Just tried it, not impressed.

"give us your email, give us your email, give us your email" on the first page isn't very welcoming, it sounds desperate. I can wait a short while for a scan (I came for the scan, not to give you my email address - what are you going to do with it, by the way?)

The scan returns 3 vulnerabilities - I have to create an account to see them. Alright, it's a "security company" (even though I've never heard of it before), how bad can it get? I have good spam filters anyway, whatever.

After creating the account, I have to verify I am the owner (this is a good thing!). I choose the meta tag option - it's broken, and the error is at the top of the page, not at the bottom where I have clicked "Verify". The link in the error doesn't even work.

So, I upload the HTML file, and proceed to my report, where the 3 vulnerabilities have reduced to 1, a vague "Entrance scan". Impossible to see the contents, the only possible action is another scan. which returns 0 vulnerabilities, my website is safe.

Just before closing the page, I notice my email address at the top right, I see "My Account" there... and it's a good thing I've checked, because I've been signed up to 2 newsletters.

There is an option in the settings to load tabs automatically or when clicked on, upon browser restart.

I keep meaning to go, but never get round to it. Maybe when it gets a bit warmer!

No-go in Shanghai :-(

Correct. I added the day and time for reference, in the evenings during the week, the internet speed can be rated as "lol" in both directions.

w1ntermute, I'm fully aware those speeds are most definitely not fast, but relatively speaking it's usually worse than that.

(I love going to South Korea, I land at Incheon, there's free WiFi in the coach to the city, and the internet is FAST)

It means it feels ridiculously fast for websites inside the GFW.

speedtest.net results just run now (I'm in Shanghai, it's saturday morning, no VPN):

Shanghai-based server: ping 27ms, down 15.33Mbps, up 0.54Mbps

Beijing-based server: ping 31ms, down 17.49Mbps, up 0.55Mbps

London (UK)-based server: ping 270ms, down 6.17Mbps, up 0.56Mbps

I live in an older compound, my building has 12 floors, most of the others have 6, so this is not a new compound by any means, but we already have fiber, they're rolling it out gradually throughout the city.

It would be limited to the Chinese who have access to a VPN and can speak English, and have a social group of foreigners.

There are also alternative Chinese social networks where their friends are, and without the added chore of finding a VPN service which they can pay without a non-Chinese PayPal account or credit card.
