You have already gotten excellent options from the other comments, but here's another one that's not been mentioned yet.

You may want to consider adjusting your partition key (if feasible) as a function of datetime so you can just drop a complete partition when required, rather than needing separate delete queries.

In my experience, it has proven to be a very quick and clean way to clear out older data.


You can always use rclone which added ProtonDrive support 2 releases back: https://rclone.org/protondrive/

You can also mount it using rclone to present it as an external drive.


FWIW, I haven't had any failures in ~3-4 months now. Every subscription using Stripe has been working flawlessly for the same time. Even usenet subs have renewed fine this year (just had an automatic renewal processed yesterday).

I use ICICI, Axis & HDFC Cards and all 3 have worked fine.


This is strange as my usenet (eweka.nl) renewal failed this week on my Kotak card, and when I retried with an ICICI card that failed too, although the amount is quite low.


Eweka hasn't come up for renewal this year yet but the last year, I had to cancel my sub and set it up again due to the renewal issues. You may want to try doing the same since their BF promo is valid year-round: https://www.eweka.nl/en/landing/unlimited-usenet-special

Newshosting was the one that got renewed a few days and it went through fine without any manual intervention.


My first goto for anything related to file transfer: https://rclone.org/

If you care about permissions, you can always run an rsync after rclone has finished the transfer because applying just the permissions is much faster than the actual single-threaded transfers of rsync.



Should be tailnet lock rather than talent lock... :)


"Talent Lock": the new MBA euphemism for H1-Bs


Sounds like a fancy name for a hiring freeze


I thought I read the title wrong when I got to the post... I was like man I'm seeing hiring freezes and layoffs everywhere these days!


I really wanted to give this a try but the lack of WAL support has prevented me from using it. With the recent addition of WAL support[1] in litefs, would it be possible to add the same to mvsqlite too?

[1] https://github.com/superfly/litefs/pull/120


What are you trying to achieve with WAL mode? Is it some kind of application compatibility issue?

The entire SQLite journaling mechanism is not used by mvSQLite (you can set journal_mode=off safely - although SQLite won't be happy to do explicit rollback in this case)


Yeah, I am trying to plugin mvsqlite into a binary-only app which is using WAL mode. Changing to any other journaling mode, just causes the app to not start at all.


You may have missed this in the same section:

> If such change to Individual plans is to occur, we plan to grandfather-in all early adopters (meaning all current and future paid customers, up until this change) allowing them to keep their existing subscription price as long as they don’t cancel it.


I appreciate that but I don't want to be sucking money out of an enterprise I'd prefer to see succeed. I search a lot, it's just not viable unfortunately.



As someone who is deciding whether to splurge on a Quest 2 for exercising, how good is it without a computer system to link with?

Also, is there any step that requires a computer system like the initial setup etc.?

Any recommendations for initial games to try and guides for getting the optimal adjustment are also appreciated.


You do not need a computer for the setup. You’ll need your mobile phone instead.

You may, if you wish, hook up the Q2 to a a PC to play steamVR and Oculus Games. The oculus quest 2 has a separate store (in VR) in which you purchase new games.


Perfect, thanks.

Any first game recommendations btw?


* Beat Saber

* Until You Fall

* In Death: Unchained (not good for fitness)

* Thrill Of The Fight
