I picked up a 4070 and have been really happy with the low power draw (and therefore heat) after undervolting it.

An ultralisk was the first thing that I thought of.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Ventoy is awesome, love being able to load a ton of different boot images on a single USB drive! The only issue I’ve run into is the occasional image that won’t boot. Not sure if this is expected, or you need to sometimes tweak settings to get it working?

If it’s something mission critical, consider following the 3-2-1 backup rule.

I tend to use whatever built-in snapshot option the service provider offers, and then for off-site backups can use something like Veeam (free for first 10 VMs / machines) - https://www.veeam.com/virtual-machine-backup-solution-free.html

They actually recently opened a beta for sending emails from Workers as well. There are already a few projects to make use of this, examples:

• https://github.com/Sh4yy/cloudflare-email
• https://github.com/giuseppelt/emailflare

Sounds like what you want is some form of webhooks that your customers can sign up for, that will send out when the reports are complete.

There are quite a few ways to do that. One I’ve looked at recently is Convoy, for setting up a user-facing webhook Dashboard -

By using webhooks for delivery, then your actual configuration / viewing of schedules just becomes standard API calls.

Interesting article, thanks for sharing!

I’ve run a (nowhere near as popular) public API for just about 10 years now. Definitely relate to the bit where he mentions people simply retrying the same request when they get an error. 😂

I get a lot of students using the API for learning projects, which is great! But it also means my rate limiting is more often protecting my server from accidental infinite loops, rather than anything purposely abusive.

I’ve looked at mTLS certs as well, but think you’d run into the same issue there as Service Tokens (app needs to support it).

It really is a shame, because Cloudflare Tunnels / Access is great otherwise. Just troublesome to have non-browser access.

You can use Service Tokens with Cloudflare Zero Trust (Access). Unfortunately, the companion App then has to support setting custom request headers, in order to send the token. Not many support this in my experience.

The only other option would be to use Basic Authentication, instead of Cloudflare Access. This isn’t as secure, but would be supported by most Apps (since you can simply inline user:password in the API URL). You can even setup a Cloudflare Worker to add basic auth to any Route you want.

Ideally, would love some hybrid of these approaches, where I can keep Access enabled, but override with basic auth for ‘legacy’ apps. Don’t know of a way to do this though.

Edit: Forgot to mention a third option, if you just want access while home, you can setup a bypass in Cloudflare Access policies for your home IP address. Then if you really need access when remote, you could also use VPN, but not as seamless of course.

I created a site that tracks all Steam deals (alongside other stores). May be helpful for some! https://www.cheapshark.com/

Awesome, thank you for sticking around!

Thank you for using the site! 😁

Do you have any favorite narrators? I enjoy most things by Tim Gerard Reynolds!

I started listening to audiobooks for my commute, and that’s mostly what I stick to these days. The right narrator can make all the difference though!

The primary difference is mainly just the UI and how the deals are presented. The underlying data / prices are going to be pretty similar, as we are both dedicated to only tracking official stores (no grey market key resellers). So feel free to check out CheapShark, but no hard feelings if you prefer to stick with ITAD! 😄

Thanks for being an active user! Hope that you’ve found many good deals! 😁
