> Dude, I’ve used 180 TB of traffic in one month on a 16$/mo server, and still, no throttling.

But legitimately using lots of bandwidth isn't the same as a DoS attack. Try and remember that bandwidth isn't the only resource being used.

> Scaleway

In my experience they throttle your CPU usage after a while.

> Hetzner requires you to buy traffic, but there it costs 1$ per 1TB of traffic, which is 1000x cheaper than Firebase.

At no point did I suggest using Firebase was a good idea. I said it's always cheaper to run your own services in the long run, and that they'd have found out their own problems (see my first reply) sooner.

If you read the fine print of the ones with "no bandwidth costs" you'll find that service becomes throttled after a certain level of usage. These are businesses, they have to make money to operate, they're not in this for charity

> No, because most self-hosted services are 10-20x cheaper than comparable SaaS offerings.

This has nothing to do with the fact that it could be hit by a botnet, as per the exact point I commented on, could 'wreck your card', it's simply a question of scale.

> So a bot net could absolutely wreck your credit card by just repeatedly trying to access your API with invalid credentials.

You could argue that for pretty much anything being hosted, anywhere.

Agreed in part, however TLS Tokens and Keep alive aren't specific to this vendor... it's something that the author should be doing anyway. If they were to self host rather than contract out the underlying service upon which they depend they may have figured this out sooner.

Shame on them for not giving notice and a proper explanation of the change. They were vastly under reporting the cost of providing the service. Consider that they are a business.

Shame on you for not using resumable TLS sessions/Keep alive. You're hammering their infrastructure. The change in how they meter usage is seeing you having to compensate them for the resource they provide you.

Pretty much :)

I enjoy Lynch's Dune. There are some great fan edits, the 'Third stage navigator' edits that add in a fair amount of the cut scenes. The longer cut is a great improvement.

> BearSSL is only 25KB and there are even microcontrollers

Thank you, came here to mention this. So many people seem to think that OpenSSL is the ONLY tool to be used.

Time is a concept you seem not to understand.

It's called time, you did it after being prompted multiple times, and after I posted this

You seem to have confused orders fulfilled by Amazon, and people selling products on their platform as third party sellers.

You don't state which country your in, or answer the question someone asked of you regarding the potential affiliation you may have with this company.

Ergodox-ez.com sure make a big deal about being 'open source', yet I can't find a schematic, PCB design or anything related to this on their site. Perhaps I'm missing something?

What I do see is they use an open source firmware, used on several other keyboards.

You've been shilling in this thread, and avoided answering the question "are you affiliated with them?"

> As such we're happy to issue you a refund

They didn't offer this, the bricked the device and suggested returning it to Amazon, who have no power over any of this.

> I don't know why many comments about "the customer is clearly an asshole, therefore he deserves the lock not working/the company has the legal rights to do so blah blah"

This attitude is rife in the tech industry, sadly, people somehow thing one of their own is being abused by others having an opinion or reporting an experience. Safe spaces, trigger warnings....

Excellent, you can join the steering committee where we ignore all lessons learned from any previous product security failure, and add in multiple expensive features users can't comprehend, let alone use. To the cloud!

> I'll just note that this entry was posted twice, by two different accounts

another behaviour that's quite common here ;)

> It's more of a tantrum.

And the knee jerk response of bricking the device is ok then?

> I doubt the guy was going to continue

> We don't know anything else

It's almost like you treat your 'doubt' as a matter of fact, rather than pure opinion.

> I can't believe people are still buying any "cloud powered" crap for their homes

This should be closer to the top :) Sadly many consumers don't understand exactly what they're buying into.

> Well, he's also offering a refund.

No, he isn't. He suggests returning the device to point of purchase, Amazon, who have no control over this situation.

The Internet of Silly things strikes again. Perhaps people will grow cautious of buying into products and services which they have no real control over.

> It's not exactly like the developer didn't try to help.

In their first and only reply they perma banned the customers device ID. How are they helping?

> I am also quite surprised by the number of comments here at HN siding with Garadget.

This behaviour is all too common, sad but true.

Thank you. It would have made more sense to me if the source code to generate the output examples which they posted. Oh well.

I'm totally new to tts, so please forgive the questions:

* Is this open source?

* What hardware would one need to run this?

* If specialist hardware is required (e.g. reasonably high end GPU) would that simply be for building and training the system or its operation?

what is this, a website for ants? It needs to be at least twice as big!

Seriously thought, that's quite an unreadable interface.

welcome to the internet, where few actually look at or understand the details of posts the comment on :)
