Thank you, I never had time to read up on its history when I was busy smashing out sites on stupid deadlines with constant last minute changes and morons for project managers.

Isn’t that the point of Postgresql. It’s basically an open source version of MySQL.

I’m sure there are some proprietary nonsense that MySQL has, but I’ve never needed it in 17 years

Yeah and the make a mess of network traffic that slows everything down.

Sludgers works too, but I like slop for the LLM output, so it makes sense as the bot term of derision.

Apple’s private relay does this too. And so does auto-login.

Same here. I had Alien Blue gold for the longest time too. Then Apollo saved the day and got so good. Reddit without it was useless ad garbage with a heavy slow UI. The fact it was so enshitified was the final nail in the coffin for me.

Does node have access to a browser compression command? It kinda defeats the purpose of running it entirely in the client’s browser and offloading the processing from the server.

Sharp or Jimp run in it instead right?

^disclaimer, I’m still running rmagick in ruby and don’t play with the cool new toys as much these days).^

How was setting up the server? I’m on my phone right now so so I’ll check out the docs later but were there any problems deploying?

I’ve posted my solution to my own question a few times (the rare occasion when I’ve been unlucky enough to have an unsolved problem, and lucky enough to fix it).

It’s extra work but every few years I get a note of thanks or up vote, even a decade or more later.
