Hah, of course!

Thanks, appreciate the advice!

Oh god - I hope I don't have to write a follow-up to this. There's probably a bunch of hidden other firewalls I don't handle but most often I've found 403 and 503 to be the most co…

Hey, OP here - I'm open to advice about how best to handle this! I'm currently just opening a new window and writing the HTML to it. What's the safest way to handle this? Open it i…

Massive congrats to the team! Well deserved, Dependabot is an awesome tool!

I've been unfortunate enough to have my 2 year old daugther hospitalised 4 times already and every time, in every ward, she slept very little. Constant sources of lights, machines …
