$1500/year sounds an awful lot for a site that barely receives any updates even from the public.

What efforts are being developed to lower operational costs?

Consistency is NOT the most important thing. Correctness is.

What point do you think you're making? I mean, do you think anyone looks at a PR and says "this PR is clearly wrong, but it's so consistent that I must approve it." That's obviously not the point, is it?

Any one else spot cheap EU cloud services for a homelabber on a budget?

Hetzner might not offer serverless stuff, but they are an excellent cloud provider.

Thanks for the fix. Well done.

The whole site is broken for 2 months now.

I checked !data_structures@programming.dev and it is still broken.

It addresses some of the federation issues some of the PD users are experiencing.

It solves nothing, and feels like spam at this point. I mean, who do you think is not aware they can create an account somewhere else and shift their presence there?

This issue still persists.

Communities have been broken for over a month. This is quite bad.

Why lemmy.zip?

The whole programming.dev site was severely broken in the last release last month, and so far hasn't been fixed.

You’ve never met an average ASP.NET developer?

OP is right. For web development with JavaScript frameworks (React, Angular, etc) with Node and even Typescript, you either use vscode or you haven't discovered vscode yet.

They’re really not. As much as I hate commercial licensing for any dev tools, if you want to talk about superior there’s nothing quite as good as Visual Studio (not code) on Windows.

It really depends on what kind of project you're working on. For .NET projects that might be true, but for other languages such as anything involving C++ then Visual Studio lags way behind CLion, which is multiplatform to boot.
