    I'm self hosting umami for https://loose-tongues.com/ . It's simple, fast, and I have full control over it. It's using postgres so I can do whatever I want with the data. https://u…

    I've just now had a look at a couple of YouTube tutorials on Magic Mask for video and I think I understand where I got lost. It looks like the tools I was looking for are on the Co…

    Yes, but I think it's important to make that clear. It doesn't appear to attempt to target photographers who are not coming from a video editing background, and photographers will …

    It is unclear. Their marketing material at least does imply that they are targeting photographers: > Whether you’re a professional colorist looking to apply your skills to fashion …

    Average senior engineer salary in Sydney is around AUD180k. There is no trade you can pick up that would get close to that. It’s true that living anywhere near the Sydney metro is …

    It’s very common to use it on the HTML element, less common to use it on elements further down the tree. Like many accessibility features of the web, it’s often neglected by develo…

    Tracking is turned on by default, but it's pretty simple to turn it off as the site owner. It's clearly marked in the administration section. As you said, with ad tracking turned o…
