#52Has there been some kind of relaunch? Service was unreachable last Friday.

#53Tangentially, I got tired of Lorem Ipsum text and created Quantum Lorem Ipsum, now with 100% more physics jargon. http://neil.panchal.io/articles/quantum-lorem-ipsum/ https://github.com/neilpanchal/quantum-lorem-ipsum Edit: Created a Github repo
a Loren ipsum I will actually use. now if only plain tex would include this as a package

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
If I remember correctly it used to be unsplash.it, github seems to confirm.
Ah, I was just about to say that this looks like unsplash.it (which we actually use in our SaaS to generate random images on our 404 and 500 error screens [0]). Glad to see that it is one and the same! [0] - https://medium.com/@dsabar/error-messages-don-t-have-to-be-b... EDIT: Wonder it we will have to change the domain on our app to point to this new domain, or will the old unsplash.it one still be used going forwar…
That’s a really cool use of Picsum!
The old domain will keep working, but I’d encourage you to switch to the new one. It’ll save you a redirect as well :)

We switched over from our old NodeJS backend to a new Go backend recently, and gave the website an overhaul as well, things were a bit shaky during the transition.

#56I don't like the fact that it's /200/300, it should be /200x300. The slash makes it more difficult to read, i.e. in the example: https://picsum.photos/id/237/200/300 , it would be much easier to read and understand if it were https://picsum.photos/id/237/200x300 . Terrible decision.
It should be https://picsum.photos/id/237?w=200&h=300, IMO.

I was hoping it was quantum woo jargon.

#58Just wanted to comment on the clarity and effectiveness of the home page. Love it! So many user-friendly checkboxes are ticked off. Nice look, great description, plenty of examples, advanced usage section that's very easy to take in, credits at the bottom with some backend tech used, a welcoming contact link... All of this accomplished (landing page and documentation) in just a few scrolls of the mouse. I went from n…
Thank you for the kind words!

#59Anyone notice the CDN they are using ( https://www.belugacdn.com )? Looks like their pricing is 1/10 of S3 and GCP. Anyone used belugacdn before? Care to share your experience?
Somebody researched a bunch of CDNs and compared them: https://www.custompcguide.net/keycdn-vs-bunnycdn-vs-belugacd...
Thank you. Thats helpful.

#60I'm personally partial to PlaceKitten[1] though around halloween I will sometimes switch it up with PlaceZombie[2] This one looks nice in that you wouldn't be embarrassed if it goes live since the images are generally nice looking but part of the appear of YAPHS (Yet Another Placeholder Service) is that it is really obviously a placeholder so you catch it before it goes live.
