Paddle. I don't love their product as it's not as good as Stripe or Lemon Squeezy, but their fees were better than Lemon Squeezy.

That's not a MOR, that's their tax management offering, you still have to register yourself in every tax region and do the filling.

Stripe bought Lemon Squeezy which is a MOR but it's a separate product with higher fees.

Yes, typically due to an oversupply of solar and low demand (because houses are running on solar).

I’d like to go on wholesale pricing and curtail my solar but Australia’s energy markets are price every 30min on 5min averages but you never know the final price until the 25th minute. It’s too unpredictable. Looking forward to our market moving to 5min settlements for consumers.

I get 2 hours of free electricity, and while my battery can fill up on solar before this time, it has greatly simplified my energy management because I can guarantee a full battery every day, event if it’s cloudy.

I'm curious how it determines what's a remote stream, because I don't use the Plex hosted proxy, I like any crazy person, expose my Plex ports to the internet directly and behind a reverse proxy with HTTPS. That's like a local connection with extra steps right?

My Tesla Fleet API library lets people charge their Tesla vehicles with excess solar and better manage their Powerwall home batteries. It's currently used in four different Home Assistant integrations.

I know how you feel. I love solving problems. I hate fixing solutions.

Yaaaaas! I went back to VS Code today for the first time in months to do some vibe coding. Looking forward to agents in Zed!

I wrote a Discord bot that responds to direct messages if I'm driving and gives them my speed and ETA. What could go wrong? /s

Naively, sounds like that product is broken then. That said I fully accept these tools go rouge. I recently asked CoPilot to fix my TypeScript errors and it added ts-ignore to every one.

I half disagree, it's not all hype, I find it genuinely useful to do the tasks I'm too lazy to do in my existing codebase. But I'd not trust it to write something novel from scratch.

To me you're treating it like a person, trying to make it feel bad that it lied about the test failure so that it might do better.

I at least know with GitHub Copilot Workspace you give it a step to validate tests explicitly and it won't hallucinate a pass, and rework itself on failure.

As someone outside of the United States, it's less interesting hearing the analysis of how your country is tearing itself apart, and for me that's what's changed. Big Tech is global, the US politics of Big Tech less so.

Having two routers means you probably have double NAT. Unless you have the AmpliFi running in bridge mode help.amplifi.com/hc/en-us/art...

Regardless if the Synology is plugged into the CenturyLink router or a downstream switch you only need to setup port forwarding there.
Enabling Bridge Mode
A router should only be placed in bridge mode when there is another router connected to the network. Two routers performing routing tasks will slow down your network; this can be solved by setting ...

If these were in the advance features section, isn't it fair to assume the use has advanced knowledge on how to configure, use, and maintain those features? Like setting up an IP is not something that's typically required for the average user, because DHCP does it for you.
