    I did this as well and have liked it for the most part, but would also recommend using an older, established TLD. I went with `.email` because... it just seemed fitting at the time…

    All of these aren't quite the same though. Charging to use hardware that is already present in a vehicle and contained to that vehicle (heated seats) is not the same as charging to…

    Command & Conquer (RA2 Yuri's Revenge or Generals style play) + FPS where I start the game in RTS mode and at any time I can click and "assume" a unit on the ground where I'm dropp…

    One I remember was GroupHug or similar name. There were numerous IRC bots at the time that would post stories/confessions from it.

    Most of the spam I receive these days comes from DNS registry contact info. I always select the domain privacy option when possible, but certain TLDs like .us do not allow this opt…

    I've found k3s ( https://k3s.io/ ) to be extremely easy to use for setting up and running kubernetes on a group of Raspberry Pis. Specifically, I followed this guide to get my clus…

    Perhaps they will call this curated content "YouTube Med"

    They also don't give you just read or just write options for photos -- you have to allow read & write or none at all.

    Wow I haven't been confident in buying electronics or anything with a battery on Amazon for a while - now I guess I'll add books to the list. Lately even buying the same brand of t…

    Even if there's only one mention of it in the article, I'm glad they included it: alpha-gal syndrome. Not a ton of people seem to know about it and yet I continue to meet more and …

    I'm the same way though I have a 5.0 -- but it's because I don't want to lose it! However, I feel as if I'd care less once my score is no longer "perfect"... It's a similar game to…

    I'd take some of it with a grain of salt. He brought up one point about peeling paint and requiring special hangars. But outside of the RT article he linked to, I can't find mentio…

    I'm curious about this as well. Though at a previous job, I got on the elevator one day to hear a telemarketer's voice coming from the emergency speaker. I'm guessing it happens, b…

    I lock my computer habitually even if I'm just walking over to a co-workers desk. I find it funny though, because I was forced into this habit from my days in school where leaving …
