What are some others?


I tried swiping right 10 times like an idiot, thinking I didn’t swipe fast enough or something

I tried swiping a bunch, figured it must not work in Firefox for Android, tried in Chrome only to find out it didn't swipe there, either.

Yep, I really don’t want to read any articles from any company that built their success during the SaaS greenfield period from 2008-2016. Plus, you already have had the brand and market share to built even more upon that foundation.

Now if you’ve built something big that grew in the past few years organically, there’s more to learn from that success.


What, you're saying the secret to success isn't just coming up with cool brand name that ends in -ify or -ly in that era?


This. It would take a lot for me to switch over to a cheaper provider especially if it was something mission critical. It’s way too risky.

On the other hand, if it wasn’t mission critical (let’s say replacing my todo list tracker), then I wouldn’t even consider replacing it because it’s not critical, and it’s not expensive. Why should I waste my time replacing it with something a bit cheaper?

So it’s a catch 22


Until your existing provider jacks up prices 20x because they know you won't move.



While AI may technically be leading to less traffic for some sites, they didn’t deserve most of that traffic in the first place. Also most haven’t lost 90% of their traffic yet, so AI, please continue your killing - you’re not done yet!


What devices are you making?


Nothing too innovative, I've made some chained, LAN connected lighting for around the house. Some button boxes for sim racing. I built a small CNC machine and a 3D printer, which have let me build various things for the car and the bike. Last week I made a very specialised splint/cover for an injury on my shin, shhh don't tell the healthcare industry about 3D printing.


Why do it only show a few subdomains for .statuspage.io? I would have expected at least 10K or so. https://www.merklemap.com/search?query=*.statuspage.io&page=...

Is my query wrong or are you just showing less results intentionally if you’re not paying?


> Why do it only show a few subdomains for .statuspage.io? I would have expected at least 10K or so. https://www.merklemap.com/search?query=*.statuspage.io&page=...

Because they have a wildcard for *.statuspage.io, which they are probably hosting their pages on.

No, results are the same but not sorted.


Are you paying per GB bandwidth with DigitalOcean?


It's a flat rate. That said it feels like wasted bandwidth as I know it's not humans visiting the site. There isn't anywhere near 10GB of content on my site. 200 MB max.


I miss the days when almost every website was run by a single person


Why is this important? How about NGOs?
