Dev snapshot: Godot 4.4 beta 2 (godotengine.org)
We’ve been keeping busy these past two weeks squashing the bugs that cropped up in 4.4 beta 1. Despite how much the previous snapshot added, it bears repeating that we have entered the 4.4 feature freeze, so our energy has been focused on addressing any new regressions or the aforementioned bugs. We’re still aiming for a release sometime next month, but that all depends on how effectively new bugs get reported during this period.

Tell HN: Hetzner just launched object storage in beta (ycombinator.com)
This is a game changer, since this keeps me form having to roll my own Minio. I was considering moving from S3 to R2, but if I can keep all traffic away from the internet until it needs to leave, that is ideal to me. Hopefully they add a CDN too.
