Indeed, for this post I came straight to the comment thread instead of reading the article.

Thanks for describing your experience with Granian. I have stuck with Gunicorn and Uvicorn so far but am now motivated to try the newer alternative.

Nice. I used uwsgi -> gunicorn -> gunicorn with uvworkers -> granian. Granian is great. While not crazy popular along, it's really based on Rust's Hyper, see https://crates.io/crates/hyper Hyper has 400M downloads so safe to say it's pretty battle tested.

I interviewed the creator of Granian on Talk Python BTW.

You noted using persistent volumes for storing data, e.g.:

  docker volume create umami-volume

How do you manage data backup and restore?

Hey, you just run whatever backup command you would regularly do via compose.

For example, if you run `sqldump --db umami ...` in regular postgres (which is what they are using IIRC), then you run:

docker exec umami "sqldump --db umami ..."

Or something almost exactly like this (just from memory here and I wrote that script a year ago).

+1 I use NetNewsWire as well.

In addition to sync by iCloud, you can also sync with a third-party aggregator (BazQux, Feedbin, Feedly, Inoreader, NewsBlur, The Old Reader, or FreshRSS). This can be a good option if you sometimes need access from a non-Apple device.

I love this.

China, on the other hand, did.

[2021]: https://www.cnbc.com/2021/06/22/china-crypto-crackdown-wipes... "China’s renewed crypto crackdown wipes $400 billion off the market as bitcoin slides"

You realize the irony of looking at those titles, and then at the present day price of bitcoin, which is 25x, 10x the price at the time of those articles.

Is that trade happening substantially in China and the Yuan?

If you are even remotely involved in crypto, you know how big crypto is in China. The biggest exchanges are Chinese or Chinese owned (Binance)

Gattaca did portray hair as being more than enough for forensics. (“Keep your lashes on your lids where they belong. How could you be so careless?”)

Well, they managed to analyze DNA from centuries-old hair in this paper.

From the methods section:

> Nuclear DNA in hair has an extremely low average fragment length owing to the activity of endonucleases expressed during hair formation.

But the researchers made adjustments for that during sample prep before sequencing, and alignment after sequencing.

Does using a range of hues generate colors that can be differentiated by those of us who are color blind?

To be clear, Cloudflare Email Service is not a full-blown email provider like Fastmail, nor is it even comparable to email services like AWS SES or SendGrid. Cloudflare already offered email routing and Cloudflare Email Service just adds the ability to send email via Cloudflare Workers, so there’s a long way to go before Cloudflare could be an option for replacing Fastmail.

What would be the difference if we are talking about transactional emails? Why not comparable to SES?

You know, it might be closer to AWS SES and SendGrid than I thought initially. My first reading of blog post gave me the impression that Cloudflare Email Service was designed for Cloudflare Workers only because that’s what they emphasized upfront. But I missed this piece:

> We’re also making sure Email Service seamlessly fits into your existing applications. If you need to send emails from external services, you can do so using either REST APIs or SMTP.
