    Depends who is paying. If it’s your own project then 5 hours of your own time might not be worth that much. If someone else is paying you then both options cost money and the equat…

    No VPS has a shared IP address. The real problem is that the pool may have been dirtied by previous customers. But once you get a clean IP you can keep it for as long as you keep t…

    Webm and webp have become pretty standard usage on the internet now. Imgur, reddit and many other major sites use it by default when support is detected. Usually when I save an ima…

    Blacklisted is the specific terminology for when a website rejects certain file types. I guess in githubs case it would be that webm is not whitelisted since only 2 formats are per…

    This is possible. Many users can be sharing the same IPv4 using CG-NAT. I have found that when using mobile internet, every site that uses IP bans has already banned me for a previ…

    The reward for Bitcoin mining is fixed. The work required is variable. If electricity costs globally shot up, there would be far smaller mining operations but the payout would be t…

    “Straight white man” has become a buzzword now. Is there any evidence that any of these companies trying to ban politics were oppressing gay people? As a gay person in tech I have …

    Keeping your mouth shut is no longer an option “silence is violence” and “not taking a position is a position” have taken over. The issue at Basecamp was that activists were harass…

    I imagine the stats come out better when using something like an iPad for notes which replaces other electronics you would have bought.

    I wonder if Bitcoin investors will start to work out what all those regulations they avoided were for.
