If 11 people are sitting at a table with a known Nazi, chatting, enjoying themselves and having a great time, you have a table with 12 nazis.

All answers you got here are good, but it depends how simple do you want it.

Your current solution doesn’t meet one of your criteria already. The code that produces the data cannot run for an extended period of time if it keeps all data in memory and only writes it at shutdown (or USR1).

It would be trivial to modify the program to write on every new data point collected. Then you just tail that file from the Webserver process.

You could use more performant solutions, like explicit pipes, Unix sockets, websockets, or even shared memory, but keeping it simple is often the best way. This makes your data collection better (no memory “leaks”) without really adding code, you could in fact remove code (USR1 handling).

What facts? Republicans absolutely do not stand for the little guy…

You could spin up instances of cloud servers just for the time of your connection, but that would be slower to set up and probably more expensive (depends how much time you spend on the vpn).

I don’t know if I would describe proton as a big tech company. Even if they were, their whole pitch is “you can trust us”.

Or south Africa.

It’s a rare W, but a welcome one.

Again, spoken truly as someone who never paid for bandwidth, storage, compute, power, rent, ac, salaries…

The author doesn’t consent to you blocking ads, simple as that. Might consent to skipping. Some. In certain situations.

A shop giving you a free sample of cheese doesn’t mean you can fill your pockets with the contents of the cash register.

Then don’t watch/read the content. Don’t consent Samsung/appke/Walmart getting your money? Don’t buy their shit. Ez.

You struggle also with the concept of consent? Smh…

I don’t care how you feel, really. Skipping ads and blocking ads is different, btw.

About calling a spade a spade?

If it helps you sleep at night, sure buddy.

Spoken like someone who has never paid electricity, bandwidth, storage, hardware…

Skip the cashier in the big box store, same arguments.

That’s like your opinion, man. In any case they are not charging creators, they are paying creators. Whether it’s profitable, just, fair, or whatever, it’s beside the point.

Yes. And I always was open about piracy I was just broke, but I didn’t lie.

Many ads are unskippable nowadays.

Nope, for blocking ads. Don’t feel bad either, I myself pirated a bunch when I was a teen, for instance. Just intellectual honesty, that’s all.

50/50 for 100% of the tech work. I find it fair. Float plane is very open about the hosting costs. Bandwidth is EXPENSIVE.
