Porkbun. Their prices are very reasonable and their support team is consistently responsive and helpful. Honestly, even if their pricing was higher I would still choose to use them…

Just from the name, I thought this was going to be Google's official take on the classic "Google Gravity" site from ages ago: https://mrdoob.com/projects/chromeexperiments/google-g…

ZIP codes are such interesting identifiers. Their intended use was for facilitating more efficient mail sorting, they were not for providing any sort of human-friendly location dat…

Of course you can, nobody is claiming otherwise. Freedom of speech does not come with freedom from the consequences of what you say. I have the freedom to scream "FIRE" in a crowde…

New.css developer here, thanks for sharing :) I’ve been thinking about creating a CSS tool somewhere about halfway between new.css and Pico CSS for very basic page layout tools (co…

I have been sponsored by Vercel since early 2020. Vercel has primarily served as a CDN for my free and open-source font delivery system, using up to a couple hundred gigabytes of b…

I'm `@3x` on GitHub and I get multiple notifications every day from people mentioning graphics scale factors [1] in issues and PRs. It is a lot of fun to add a "" reaction to every…

Has anyone else experienced DuckDuckGo ignoring the exclusion operator? For example, searching `kiwi -fruit`, with no space between the hyphen and second word, used to bring up res…

Who knows where I would be today if not for Kevin's influence... Kevin was (and will continue to be!) a role model in many ways. RIP

I'm not too familiar with either's privacy/security practices, what makes Sandstorm more secure than Yunohost?

I regularly use Hagoromo chalk on a personal chalkboard and I always break new sticks in half before use. For me, it feels more comfortable to use smaller pieces than large ones. I…

Hey Paul, legitimate question. What actions from Musk would it take for you to stop supporting him?

I thought up a few ways to visualize 2^64 unique items: - You could give every ant on Earth ~920 unique IDs without any collisions - You could give unique IDs for every brain neuro…

Right above that line, the site notes that the code is available here [1]. It looks like the majority of it was written by Drew DeVault, who runs SourceHut [2], where the code is h…

I recall seeing go link stickers around Google's Mountain View campus in the early 2010s! That was the first time I had seen something done like that, "overriding" an entire TLD zo…

I can confirm that emoji domains for `.to` are still supported, I believe most of them are taken by now, though. You can use https://register.to to check.

At one point of time, ` http://to ` resolved to a "It works!" page [1]. I've always thought it would be cool to have a URL shortener with links such as ` https://to/library ` or so…

"How to Sharpen Pencils" [1] by David Rees is one of my favorite books. Highly recommend it for its perfect blend of satire, actual in-depth analysis, and absurdity. [1] https://ww…
