Bryson posted trying to justify UDA flags in East Belfast because of the Irish signage being forced on them.

Claiming that 15% of people would vote for UDA flags for historical reasons! Should be also have a vote for IRA flags too?

Even comparing the Irish language to a UDA flag is ridiculous. Just like it would be stupid to compare a IRA flag to the Orange Order.

All he does is whip up hate, focusing on such small narrow minded topics.

He thinks he is fighting the corner for Unionism but he is making you look like fools. Being pro Union is a perfectly acceptable opinion to have, but this really doesn’t help you cause.

The anti Irish is so transparent, nothing but sectarianism.

If there was ever a way for over complicating generating some basic HTML then this is it.

I know I’ll get a lot of abuse back for this, especially from the boys who love writing a component for a href.

Any advantage of using them is outweighed by the endless disadvantages.

I go to so many websites and you see things like a login button switch to a logout after page load.

Server side rendering is the way to go, super fast with no complexity.

I’ll die on this hill.

I have a couple sites that run for customers, one with a large database (near 1TB) and nearly 1 million images uploaded onto S3.

It costs me a couple hundred dollars a month on AWS and I recently decided to give self hosting a go.

I bought a small server for 400 quid and run everything in docker containers. Benchmarking shows it is faster than AWS. Server pays for itself after 2 months.

I have a 1gb down and 100mb up line, house has solar panels. I’m going to use the savings now to pay for batteries for my solar panels and upgrade to a quality router to handle high traffic.

The home server just runs the web, database and cache servers, I still use AWS features like S3, SNS, SQS and Lambda. The million images only costs like $12 a month so not worth the bother of trying to self host these.

The home server takes regular DB snapshots and uploads them to S3. If anything were to go wrong I just have to spin up a EC2 instance and run the containers.

About to add 2 more sites now which would have doubled my AWS bill but now it’s not really an issue.

Highly recommend this setup and putting the money into solar panels, batteries and a nice home setup.
