That's fucked up that a prosecutor has lobbyist interests in private prisons.

I see, thanks for the clarification! May we never receive a $100k bill :D

This is more of an indication that the USSR had a functional public education system, and the dictatorship style, top down style education is indeed good at hammering (STEM based) academic skills into young brains. Arguably, most other non third world countries are doing a better job at the public school system than the US

That's too bad, thanks for sharing. For now I'm using Boost's built in Lemmy search but it's not as smart as querying reddit results from Google or even reddit's search itself. Hopefully someone will rewrite & revive this project.

I hope you're right, I also tried to read the pricing page on netlify carefully about this. The Q&A says the websites will be shut off if the bandwidth limit is reached, but the pricing table still says $55/100 after 100G is reached. Talk about not reassuring. From the look of it, it's probably fine to use the free tier since it technically didn't ask for credit card info and real name to sign up iirc, I don't think they have enough info to send a bill to any users home address, so nothing is stopping from surprise charge free tier user from just not paying the bill at all.

Just a heads-up about netlify, I am building a website and planning to host there as well, but be sure to do rate limiting or put it behind a cloudflare proxy to avoid ridiculous $100k bill from netlify.

Update: I checked netlify's docs on rate limiting and it is a paid feature :(. That means you're a DDoS attack away from a huge bill from netlify, even if you're on a free plan. I'm going to host my site on GitHub pages or cloudflare pages instead, netlify is simple to use but this is simply too dangerous.

It seems like the search engine is not working anymore, redirects to a personal portfolio page. Any updates?
