Desk setups are huge right now and I want in. Which POD has the best desk mats, stitched edges, won't curl?

I used to run my own setup with Scrapy, rotating proxies, and some browser automation when needed. Now it feels like half the work is handling 403s, empty HTML, captchas, JS rendering, and layout changes. Curious what people here use daily. Fully self hosted, scraper API, or some mix of both?

My sister is getting married soon, and there are 5 of us sisters total. We want to do something together that feels more special than just buying one normal gift. Custom gifts are always fun, but I’m trying to think of something more unique, maybe something she and her husband can enjoy after the wedding. Has anyone done a wedding gift for a sibling that felt personal but not cheesy?

I’m open to unique wedding gifts, experience gifts, or something sentimental from the whole family.

I do a bit of local SERP and ad checking for work, so I need to route my browser through proxies in different countries fairly often. Right now I'm changing it in my system settings every time, which is a pain when I want to switch quickly. Is there a good chrome proxy extension that lets you flip between proxies easily? Ideally one that works with residential proxies, not just free public ones. What do you guys use?
