Probably to compete with DeepSeek, which AFAIK also retains data (or at least OpenRouter says they do)

Do Linux users actually use Homebrew day to day? My impression of it was that it's mostly for MacOS users that want to keep doing things the same way instead of learning the Linux …

A lot of the sites that use shadcn's default styling are AI-generated. The people that use it in hand-written code usually customize the appearance at least a little bit.

It uses shadcn so often, to the point where seeing shadcn components with default styling often means the site was built by AI. It's like Bootstrap 10 years ago - so many sites use…

Fewer people view their site (since their questions can be answered by LLMs) which means their paid services (Tailwind Plus and links to sponsors) get fewer views and thus fewer pu…

"from scratch"? No way. It's using Next.js test suites and the AI is almost certainly using Next.js code as part of the output.

This doesn't really matter if you disable password authentication.

There's many providers that have similar pricing, sometimes as their normal day-to-day pricing, and sometimes as sale pricing just for events like Black Friday. I've been happy wit…

You need to keep an eye on the configurator page, or monitor it some other way. AFAIK they don't have many servers in the USA, so their US VPSes are available sporadically when peo…

I used one of their 20% off coupons for a Simplehuman bin a while back (one of the ones with recycling on the left and trash on the right). Having said that, I don't think they act…

I'm surprised 192.168.1.0 is still there 2.5 hours later https://dnstools.ws/lookup/microsoft.com/A/

In a way they're lucky DNSSEC took it down, otherwise they may have not noticed the issue of using stale data for much longer.

Yeah, that's pretty common. If you get a large amount of traffic, they take the domain from you and try to sell it back to you as as "premium" domain at a hugely inflated price. Yo…

That's right. The 'official' NIC URL for .tk is http://www.dot.tk/ , but this is ran by Freenom. Similarly, the official URL for .gq is http://www.dominio.gq , which initially look…

Freenom own the TLD so you don't really have a choice. Every other registrar that offers the TLD is just going via Freenom anyways, and any major issues that affect Freenom will af…

Note that you can't use a free Cloudflare account just for things like images, video and other binary files, as they'll suspend the account. It must be used primarily for a website…

I've got several spare VPSes that are currently just idling, so I'll see if I can donate them to this cause.

For email, Mailspring is great, cross-platform, and open-source.

It's... not hard at all to uninstall stuff on Windows. They'll all be in the Apps & Features list.
