Is anyone else getting a redirect loop when trying the link? At first I was thinking it had to do with my Firefox settings to force HTTPS but even just: curl -L lukedeniston.com/me…

The biggest reason I flew Southwest was just because with the $20-$25 for early bird check-in each way, I could pretty much guarantee I wouldn't be stuck with a middle seat and wou…

I love RSS. I take a bit of an unconventional approach and use Discord as my RSS reader. I run a self hosted instance of MonitoRSS ( https://github.com/synzen/MonitoRSS ). I have a…

Something worth noting: unless I'm missing something, this isn't Beeper Mini (the Android app) but the iMessage-Matrix bridge Beeper created. However, this is still handy if you ha…

I don't know Google's motivation but frankly I welcome TLS everywhere on the public-facing web now that certs are free thanks to LetsEncrypt. For me, it comes down to two things: 1…
