Just had to add another 10 bucks of credit to my Purelymail account. Last time I had to do this was in... *checks notes*... March 2022. Current monthly costs: ~$0.5. You pay for what you use, no dumb limits on accounts or anything like that.
Imagine paying 5 bucks per account and month. Wild.

It really doesn't take a lot of effort to self-host. It makes me sad to read stuff like this.
people talk about self-hosting like the only effort involved is getting it set up

I've been saying for years now that it would be cool if you could have an LLM generate an application on the fly by just connecting it to a DB, turns out someone actually gave it a go and it works!

I'm implementing a comprehensive E2E test suite for the new Svelte Society website and I'm exploring parallelization.
I started with a test.sqlite file that is seeded with some data and then had the tests run serially. This takes a lot of time and tests are not properly isolated.

Yes, Cloudflare D1 is totally a replacement for an embedded SQLite database. Pinky promise! 🤡
No. Of course that's not true. SQLite locally is 780x faster. 🤣

Does anyone know how long a simple SELECT takes for Cloudflare D1? It's hard to test because of protections against side channel attacks.
15ms? 60ms? 🤔

Have a listen to this one! And look forward to the end of October for a live stream I'm doing with Jeppe to integrate Storybook into the new Svelte Society website!
It was an absolute pleasure chatting with @kevinak.se, @brittneypostma.bsky.social and @antony.is, you're the best bunch! ❤️
And for the record, I did NOT have any influence on the title of the episode, that was all Kev. 😅
