If you set up an ADB, Flight Aware will give you an Enterprise account. FlightRadar24 also will give you a Business account. There is a docker image out there that will let you pump data to both services.
It seems like WeChat access is pretty hard to get in the US currently if you don't know anyone that uses it. I registered an account to try and get support for my Ender 3D printer(nightmare). After a few fields the app asked me to have my sponsor enter my number and I wasn't able to progress further so I uninstalled.
Sponsor is perhaps a strong word. You need another WeChat user to verify your account by scanning a QR code displayed on your app using their app. You need to do this when you create an account, and also if you haven't used your account in a while. I assume this is some sort of anti-spam/anti-bot feature.
Note that the above is just for the chat feature. You have to jump through more hoops if you want to make payments using the app.
I had an OpenVPN server setup for the first time yesterday with a docker container, in about five minutes. This thread's app is probably very useful but I figured someone in here might be interested in the docker container. I found it at the top of google with "openvpn docker." I ended up using the thread on HN yesterday to setup wireguard instead, though. I used the ansible setup and it was a breeze as well.
Sorry for not staying on topic. VPNHome looks nifty.
If he is building his code then he is probably bundling and minifying his entire client source together and being selective just keeps the build code smaller. Having one request for all of the client is more preferable to some. Anyways, I'm just saying I don't think he is just building a minified fork of lodash.
