    That number is almost certainly updated manually. Check back tomorrow and see what it says. If you look at the history page you can see its not 100% for every month: https://status…

    Flashpaper is great if you have a trusted server and a trusted operator running it. Seriously, don't use a random flashpaper server on the internet if you want to keep your secrets…

    Based on the screenshots it looks like the mac address is leaking out because its in the referer. I would guess this isn't intentional and shouldn't be hard to fix. I've worked wit…

    Ugh, I honestly couldn't tell if this article was a joke or not (it seems to not be). The more you read the more absurd it becomes. I've not heard of JPEG XL before now. Why would …

    As an operator, having fewer dependencies I have to deploy and worry about is a boon to my productivity. If you were building a kafka like system in house for private use only, the…

    Normally you wouldn't write that since the compiler will be able to infer the baz type based on buzz (assuming this is a call to a generic function).

    If you're just going to copy another language there really isn't much of a point in making a new language. Go is not java, or c# or rust. Part of the explicit goal stated by the go…

    I'm not saying that isn't true for some things. I don't think its true here given that this is a nice narrowly scoped library that does a single thing and has well defined semantic…
