Oh! Oh! About 15+ years ago, I once wrote an article asking, “Are you a Programmer or a Coder?” after reading and inspired by a paper Newspaper article. It even became popular on HackerNews and elsewhere.

I got threats of many dire consequences and the like. I ignored and I was OK. Just like I sometimes get threatening emails about my posts on HackerNews, that I ignore and am advised to ignore. ;-)

Happy user of Monodraw. I paid for it once a long long time ago and I use it once or twice a year.

Wow! I'm more intrigued by the fact that you did 10M queries in 3 months. I'm going to assume you're using a single profile for everything. I have separated machines/robots (that includes the TV), kids, and other profiles for business devices.


That's a steller idea, thanks for mentioning it! I didn't realize that different profiles assign unique DNS servers, allowing me to partition off devices that don't support DNS-over-TLS/DNS-over-HTTPS/IPv6. I don't think it'd affect total queries, but tighter rules for machines/robots, etc. should increase the percentage of blocked requests.


I'm lucky to be kinda early and book our {family}.com/.net/.org (and a few other TLDs). I kinda get regular emails to surrender that because it is also the name of a local community from an old kingdom/royal or something of that sort from my home town. I also own my {FirstName}.com as it is not a common name.

Own the domain, but outsource the manage of the mail to services that many others have mentioned here in this thread. No affiliation but I like migadu.com too (happy customer). I use it for many of my not-so used domains. I still use Google Workspace for all the primary mail domains, work domains, etc. It is much easier working with others/customers.


From a leadership personality angle, who do you think initiated this brilliant marketing/messaging campaign — sue a country because ”it infringes on human rights and Apple upholds it.“

Do you think this kinds thing comes from someone in Marketing, Legal, a C-Suite, or is this kind of thing a thing by community at Apple? If it is the last, it would be brilliant to read that protocol/process/flow.


I don’t know, but it feels like the UK gave them the softest pitch, straight over the plate, and all they had to do was hit it. (Maybe a cricket metaphor would have been better)


People seem to be misinterpreting the above post. I was referring to the UK giving Apple a great marketing opportunity for their privacy stance.


I was there Gandalf, I was there 3,000 years ago.

Gotta Digg. “Did you hear that awful sound. Oh! Another Server’s Down.”


Is this where we insert the ever popular meme, “You Were The Chosen One!”

About 7-8 years ago, I fell in love with Japanese stationery, starting with a simple brand—Muji. I’m never going back. For pens, I’m with Lamy and Kaweco for now, but I’m eager to try a bunch of Japanese brands.

Recently, I caved in and bought a few Midori MD notebooks.[1] Try them, mainly if you write with a fountain pen. The tactile feedback and the subtle scratchy sound become the music that fills the silent room past midnight. It gives you the warm, cozy feeling of never being alone with your thoughts.

I’ve become an ardent follower of the videos from JetPens,[2] and their website is my regular. I’m investing more in Japanese stationery and have begun to write more, lot more.

That notebook looks like it opens all the way flat. That's something which has been difficult to find in my experience.


And the video from Jetpens explains how Midori Notebook can lay flat. Check out just around the 1-min mark at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLbGJ-NCR0o


A very similar idea and philosophy - http://todotxt.org


I can recommend todo.txt, as I've been using it for years. Todo.txt was one of the inspirations to create calendar.txt.

It also works nicely together with calendar.txt for me. I can 'grep' trough both to see all todos and events related to a project or a +tag.


ill tell you a funny, in January I gave my old boss (who passionately hates technology) my text file and told him he only forgot to pay two days in the (hectic) year. (I make one txt per year) It listed what work was done and with who.

His response was WOAH, I've always wanted this! He then send the whole thing to the printer and put it on the wall in his office. Then he added arrows to the days he forgot to pay using a ballpoint pen. He talked a bit about periods in the year and used his finger as a pointing device.


Behind every good wireless network, there is a fantastic wired backbone. I have access points in every room that comes out of a wired ethernet network. My daughter stopped complaining about latency with her games the day she learned that it is better to stay wired with her computer.

Wireless is a convenience, but I’d always prefer wired connections wherever I can.
