So IT mandated my work laptop to be updated to Tahoe. Despite all the hate I've found so far on the internet, I've started to like some aspects of it and have been considering propagating this to my personal Macbook.

How stable is the OS now, almost 2 months in? Have the Electron slowdown bugs been squashed? I'm running a base M1 Macbook Pro 14-inch.

Hi all! I have some basic scripts I run from my terminal whenever I open them up. It's grown a bit over the past year and it's really becoming hobo infrastructure at this point.

I'd like a cloud provider that would not give me any surprises, over a fixed rate, to give me a basic linux box to run these from. Some scripts might be in Rust, Python, Golang. I'm not aiming for them to be too ambitious.

I've been eyeing DigitalOcean's droplets for their fixed rates at 5 USD for a while. Also Render, but I'm not sure how flexible that one is. fly.io is complaint central so I'm avoiding them for a while, but I could be convinced with some compelling arguments.

What's your go-to cloud provider for this?

PS: Merry Christmas!

This is a minor nitpick that just irks me to no end, but I figured there weren't many good places to ask. Maybe someone here implemented the first iteration of this. It doesn't matter whether you're using WhatsApp, Telegram or what have you. Whenever there's a "share live-location" option, the defaults suck.

It's most often either 15 minutes, 1 hour or 8 hours.

99% of the time I need it for 2 hours and a half. If it's 8 hours, I forget about it and it wastes all of my phone battery (this often leads to dangerous situations in my country). If it's 15 minutes, people start nagging me to turn it back on.

What's with this limitation? It seems like a super easy thing to parametrize. The feature is nice but I always get this bug behind my ear. Why is it this way?
