You don't like the nypost source but when a better one is linked all of a sudden no source is now good enough.
Is Forbes good enough for you?
In the first paragraph:
TikTok has flooded millions of Europeans with ads from Chinese state propaganda outlets on topics like COVID-19 and tourism in the troubled Xinjiang region, according to an analysis of a recent ad library conducted by Forbes.
It's literally linked in the first paragraph.

Oh yeah, I agree it's not the right choice for everyone. There's a whole lot that can go wrong self managing DBs. Also, you're losing out on availability as RDS gives you two availability zones for redundancy. It's a trade off I think based on your experience, budget, and uptime requirements. Just spit balling, but I believe it would be something like a 20% cost reduction for the db hosting.
I find a detective buddy to pair up with and we go around solving crimes together.
I'll play but what are the rules here? Can I move objects? Do people hear/see me? Ooh, can I possess people?
A few friendly recommendations that may help:
-
Remove the AWS load balancer. Your web application isn't horizontally scaled so you don't need that extra cost. Obviously you'll still have to pay for bandwidth moving all those images but you remove the ELB hourly usage cost from the equation. If you're using it for a reverse proxy, simply install a nginx container on the lemmy box. If really want a load balancer, you'll save money by hosting haproxy on a regular server.
-
Get off Amazon RDS. You'll save money by hosting your database on a regular server than using RDS. You're moving from a fully managed solution to one you have to manage your own. This means managing your own backups and replication if you want HA failover.
-
Switch to object storage for pictrs. The cost is much lower.
However, you're right that Amazon prices are high and you'll likely find cheaper alternatives elsewhere.
Mitch, get off Lemmy and go see a doctor JFC

See, I don't think that's the goal anymore. I think the goal now is to repackage Xitter into something that looks new and different with all the right buzz words about AI. And then he desperately offloads as much of his position as possible on some other sap.
Please tell me exactly your gripe with the Forbes article? Specifically which paragraph?
