Happy Kagi user here. I'm gladly paying $25 per month because of all their AI features, which work well for me overall. Yes, I could set up API keys on OpenAI, Anthropic, Google an…

Real-world "things we ran into" stories like this are super helpful when choosing a service or technology. Unfortunately, I have a similar experience with Firebase, where I wish I …

After Epic vs Apple's ruling in the U.S. and EU's recent statement of objections ( https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/ip_23_1217 ), does that mean we can simply …

Traffic is coming back. Looks like Google fixed their load balancer problem within 28 minutes.

Grrr. So much for global redundancy. What is going to be faster? Updating DNS records with TTL 3600 to point to a single data center or Google fixing their problem. We host DNS at …

100 grams of shrimp are roughly 100 calories. Let's generously assume that one shrimp from the video yields 200 grams of meat. So he would need to continuously catch 10 shrimp a da…

Seems like the 3rd time in the past 12 months? Can somebody please explain to me why this can't be mitigated against? Is it because they offer DNS as a free add-on and can't be bot…
