   Mixed feelings

   We used their DC proxies and Residential proxies. Resi proxies were having quite low success rate. We had to use resi solution from other proxy providers. Unblocker didn't work well either also it was way too expensive.

   🏁 Competitors: Decodo, NetNut.io

   👍 Pros:    Cheap dc proxies

   👎 Cons:    Quite expensive|Residential proxies are worse than competitiors

• Best Web Scraping Tools in 2026: A Hands-On Comparison of the Top 10

  The best web scraping tools 2026 leaderboard hasn't changed; the gap has narrowed. Bright Data remains the safest bet for any team that wants to spend time on the data, not on the scraping. The 660-scraper library, 400M-IP network, pay-per-success pricing and unlimited concurrency are still uncontested at the high end. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• The Economics of Web Scraping: How Consultancies Price Data Extraction and Manage Scope Creep

  Infrastructure Pass-Through (OpEx) Data extraction at scale is infrastructure-heavy. Bypassing modern Web Application Firewalls (WAFs) requires high-quality residential proxies, CAPTCHA solvers, and substantial browser-automation compute resources. Services like Bright Data charge significantly by the gigabyte for premium residential IPs. These variable infrastructure costs must be passed directly to the client,... - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• LinkedIn Scraping Is Dead: 5 Legal, ToS-Safe Alternatives That Actually Work in 2026

  Bright Data has successfully defended web scraping in U.S. Courts and offers LinkedIn datasets pre-collected and ready to download. LinkedIn profile data on their dataset marketplace runs around $250 per 100,000 records. The freshness caveat is real: bulk datasets are snapshots, not real-time. If you need current job titles on a rolling basis, you're better with an enrichment API than a one-time dataset pull.... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago

• Gym reccs in First/Capitol Hill

  One option I've had friends try out is ClassPass, but I personally haven't done it. You pay a monthly fee then get to go to different gyms and try activities out until you find a sport you like. Source: about 4 years ago

• Any hobby group recommendation for a late 20 or mid 30 female to meet new friends?

  My wife told me this week she's getting 1 month free at the ClassPass site (https://classpass.com/). She's used it before, and if I understand correctly, you put in a credit card and subscribe for 1 month free, book 3 free classes in any of the places listed... And then unsubscribe so you don't have to pay? Don't ask me how that works, I know she doesn't pay and attend some free or really cheap classes. Just pay... Source: about 4 years ago

• About the need to reinvent a culture of the body (mostly, a rant)

  If you live in a city where Classpass is available, I found it helpful for easily trying out new studios without committing to anything until I found a studio that didn't shame people for their size or ability. There are a lot of places that use negative reinforcement to push people to "work out harder" to the detriment of their bodies which even in the middle of my eating disorder I began to see through and start...

• Beginner personal trainers/workout classes?

  You could also try out Class Pass which gives you access to lots of studio fitnesses classes and gyms around the area so you can pick and choose what seems interesting without committing to one particular place. I think Class Pass can give you both access to local gyms like Mesh Fitness and then also the specific class studios like SoulCycle and stuff. Source: over 4 years ago

• Were any of you touch starved?

  Absolutely. For most of my life I was way too vulnerable physically/financially to access these tools for healing and recovery, and when I was finally more settled I was blown away by how exponentially my healing sped up. In case it is helpful to you: if they're available in your area, the app ClassPass often does some really deep discounting when you first sign up or when they're running a promo--I take advantage...
