I want a discounted VPS for Christmas, around 1 dollar per month. It should support monthly and quarterly payments, with multiple payment options available. The best routes would be in Asia: Japan, South Korea, or Singapore.

Saragoldfarb · December 2024

Sorry guy... I should have known you like dark mode better... You know... Like when at home... You managed to get one of the opposite sex over... No need at all to... You know... Have much light around to emphasize your godlike features.

$1/month paid monthly is hard due to fees. $12/year is in several threads right now here on LET

@beanman109 said: I've you've

You know you've been doing too much Calin-style typing when it even influences your regular comments

@Porlam said: I think that Norway is not a member of EU.

You'd be correct. Norway is part of the European Economic Area (aka EEA) though, so it's not like we're completely out of the EU.
In the context of location, "EU" often points to continent Europe, not the European Union.

@plumberg said: And how many rigged giveaways completed where I was not the winner

Yes.

Attempted to put a web scraper onto my vps. The setup is apparently more than 5 clicks and involves additional crap to deal with javascript that SPAs love so much. Gimme back my plain old HTML 😅

What scraper? Care to share some insights pls?

Seems interesting to try out for the new year

So I deployed Huginn (honestly a piece of shit and I'm better off making scripts in bash than using that) and hoped the SSRed version of the website in question would contain the datapoints I want. Sadly, it obly contains the wireframe and the actual data is loaded with JS.

I'm planning to run some Playwright to overcome this. Maybe using browserless container, maybe not. Still TBD.

This project is quickly growing in complexity and I'm already stretching myself too thin. Prioritization round inbound ☺️

In a lot of cases I've found it's simply easier to look at the network requests that the frontend does and try to emulate them, filter by "Fetch / XHR".
Browsers these day easily let you right-click on a request and "Copy as cURL". Or even as a fetch() call (JavaScript).

If you're lucky (depends on the site of course), it might just be a simple GET (in which case you just need the URL). Sometimes you might need to specify some extra headers (User-Agent or Referer come to mind) even on public endpoints. Using the "Copy as cURL" trick makes this fairly easy to emulate though.
If it's behind authentication, that will add a little bit of complexity, but for SPAs it might just be an additional request to get a token. Cookie authentication is a tad bit more annoying, but not impossible to get around.

The handy thing about a fair few APIs (those specifically written for SPAs I mean) these days is that the data is already formatted in somewhat logical JSON, so you don't really need to do any parsing of HTML.
