  • Did you also set the path to Nvim in settings.json? I had to do so to clear at least one error.

    Yup. I set it to /run/host/usr/bin/nvim after exposing system libraries and binaries to VS Codium through KDE’s flatpak permission manager. Prior to that it kept throwing me ENOF errors (or something like that, I don’t remember now).

    Unfortunately, that “disconnected” error is either not caused by a race condition for me or I was really unlucky, because at some point I restarted the extension 30 or some times out of frustration and nothing changed 😅





































  • TL;DR

    A decently big casino, as you could guess from the article, was getting away with Cloudflare’s Business Plan (250$/month, which even the author in the post agrees was a “fairly low price”, likely downplaying it).

    The Cloudflare team reached out to them to let them know their usage does not fit into the tier anymore and they need to pay the custom price of an Enterprise plan, which may, or may not have been fair since the author does not provide any relevant data, because they were cut off from the stats since they had their account terminated.

    The casino refused and indicated they are at talks with Fastly, which was a stupid thing to tell to the CF team, because on their end it was looking like “yeah, we’re going to keep freeloading until we move to another company”, so they decided to terminate the casino’s account.

    The story taught the author not to rely on proprietary services. I hope it might also teach them not to rely on any service if they are getting away with a price that is way too cheap for the resources they consume.
