Porkbun. Their prices are very reasonable and their support team is consistently responsive and helpful. Honestly, even if their pricing was higher I would still choose to use them because it's clear their goal is to maintain a useful product, not infinite growth andendshittification
ZIP codes are such interesting identifiers. Their intended use was for facilitating more efficient mail sorting, they were not for providing any sort of human-friendly location data. Yet we still end up using them in so many parts of our lives for identity verification, navigation, population statistics, ...
They remind me of Social Security numbers in a way, where an identifier created for one narrow use (internal Social Security use only) ended up becoming a de facto standard (national identification number) due to the absense of a suitable alternative.
If you'd like to go further down the ZIP code rabbit hole, a few interesting codes to research are `00501`, `48222`, and `12345`. :)
Of course you can, nobody is claiming otherwise. Freedom of speech does not come with freedom from the consequences of what you say.
I have the freedom to scream "FIRE" in a crowded building when there really isn't a fire, does this mean I should be excused from the consequences? DHH has the freedom to post racist and intentionally divisive BS on his own site, and we have the freedom to let people who care about being anti-racist know to stay away from him and his work.
I’ve been thinking about creating a CSS tool somewhere about halfway between new.css and Pico CSS for very basic page layout tools (containers, callouts, menu bars, etc) that still focuses on being extremely small and performant.
I feel that a tool like that would be helpful for laying out a simple but functional site (sourcehut’s site [1] comes to mind) where you need a few basic layout tools but don’t need all of Bootstrap.
I have been sponsored by Vercel since early 2020. Vercel has primarily served as a CDN for my free and open-source font delivery system, using up to a couple hundred gigabytes of bandwidth per month. Luckily I've been using a custom domain for these deployments so migrating platforms should be easy!
Does anyone have any recommendations for a CDN service that may be interested in sponsoring this type of project? I suppose it's possible to just use Cloudflare's free tier, but I'd like to avoid contributing to internet monopolies as much as possible.
I'm `@3x` on GitHub and I get multiple notifications every day from people mentioning graphics scale factors [1] in issues and PRs. It is a lot of fun to add a "" reaction to everything mentioning me!
Has anyone else experienced DuckDuckGo ignoring the exclusion operator? For example, searching `kiwi -fruit`, with no space between the hyphen and second word, used to bring up results that did not include the word "fruit". This no longer seems to be the case.
I regularly use Hagoromo chalk on a personal chalkboard and I always break new sticks in half before use. For me, it feels more comfortable to use smaller pieces than large ones. It allows me to hold the chalk with more fingers, and avoids the awkward position where you have to hold the chalk like a pencil with a few inches of chalk resting on your hand. However, some friends swear by full, long sticks, so it's very much a matter of what you're used to.
> Making a server is surprisingly terrible for such a ‘mature’ game.
The official Minecraft server software is exceptionally unoptimized, but a number of independent open source forks exist, some of which can substantially improve performance. Unless you're talking about maintaining the community aspect, which is definitely not so easy... :)
For anyone getting into Minecraft for the first time, be sure to check out the mod Optifine [1]. A substantial portion of the Minecraft community uses it for its UI and performance improvements to the base game. It also allows the use of custom shaders [2], which totally change the feel of the game by adding realistic effects like long shadows, wavy water, and swaying plants. I personally stick with the base game's appearance, but shaders can be really fun for exploring caves and other places with unique lighting.
Right above that line, the site notes that the code is available here [1]. It looks like the majority of it was written by Drew DeVault, who runs SourceHut [2], where the code is hosted.
I recall seeing go link stickers around Google's Mountain View campus in the early 2010s! That was the first time I had seen something done like that, "overriding" an entire TLD zone (not that `.go` is in use, anyway) to serve custom content.
Do you happen to know how Google, or any other places, do this? I assume a custom DNS resolver being forced on clients through a network could do this, or maybe hosts files for each machine.
You can combine the exclusion `-` syntax with this as well. If you want to find different sites on the TLD `.test` but only URLs on `home.test` are being shown, you can use this search:
I can confirm that emoji domains for `.to` are still supported, I believe most of them are taken by now, though. You can use https://register.to to check.
