I am considering it but the margins aren't great, I'd need to charge $150/yr at least for it to be worth it until I reach economies of scale, and I'm not sure that people would pay that.
High quality archiving is hard and takes like 1min/URL of CPU and burns a lot of IPs.

hi! I can't see OP's post but yes ArchiveBox is a nonprofit. I do some consulting so I can pay my bills and keep writing open source.

correction* the stat() call is always necessary for the check, but the os.path.* methods ignore the exceptions and return False for those cases

I'm asking about default passive focal length mid-session, not what they do when you "attend" to them.
"up close" ~feels like focusing on a black sheet held a few feet in front of you
"far away" ~feels like a 1000-yard stare into a distant overcast night sky

Man it's really annoying that python's otherwise-awesome pathlib.Path breaks in a bunch of cases where os.access works fine.
Path().is_dir(), .is_file(), .exists() all unecessarily call .stat() and break occasionally, when os.access(...) or os.path.isdir(), etc. work fine.

In fact I think I just got rate limited by PyPI because I got overexcited about being able to release things faster...

Ok this is kind of absurd. I just switched over @ArchiveBoxApp to uv, and it ran our typically ~1 min build+publish in under 2 seconds.
It's singlehandedly making me want to stay on python compared to JS.
👏 👏@charliermarsh @astral_sh amazing job

I kinda miss the "Hi this is Visa Mastercard" scam guys
anyone still get those calls?
I'd just keep trying to ask them "so which one are you?" in different ways for like 30min

Stay far away from @portalbridge_ , I've tried to swap tokens 3 times now and all three times it eats the gas fees, does no swap, and support doesn't help at all.
