I have some friends with Nextcloud accounts that run on my home server, and a couple have accounts on my Matrix home server.
They understand that if anything goes wrong I will offer a complete refund (which is $0), because they’re my friends. I couldn’t imagine doing it for other people though.
It also helps that they’re IT or at least interested in IT.
My friends have offered to pay for some of the hard drives, but I refuse because once I accept money, there's an implicit owing them to keep it up (whether that's real or in my head). Now it's just a best effort, and I prefer that over a couple hundred bucks.
Just getting people to pay their domain fees on time (or at all) was a nightmare back then - so nowadays there's only one deal on infrastructure I own:
It's free and comes with no guarantees. If you need a domain or subdomain, you own it, pay for it, and just put a DNS record to the IP I tell you.
I'm seeing similar sticky scrolling in Safari on Mac for a narrow window (but it unsticks if I scroll fast enough...). I think this suggests something with the mobile view CSS. I'll keep investigating.
In the meantime, try reader mode. Sorry again and thanks for reporting!
Had the same issue, iPhone 15 in Chrome. Scrolling quickly didn't help. What did help: rotating into landscape and scrolling in the margins. Scrolling on the very right side of the screen also worked in portrait.
Once I scrolled down a bit, I was able to scroll normally afterwards.
On the content: I enjoyed your article! B&H being closed for Sabbath saved me from almost blowing $10k on camera gear a few years ago... everything in my cart, but couldn't check out. I wouldn't say I churned, but I also didn't come back to purchase because I had pre-buyers remorse.
As others in the comments have noted, though - I still come back and shop at B&H for other things, even though I've run into their closures. I actually like the humanity of it. For all the always-on-ness of the internet and websites... there's something innately "human" about something being closed, like B&H's site, that isn't upsetting to me.
I was gonna post “What if your website wouldn’t scroll?” But kudos to you for recognizing it and reproing the bug! Good article and found the references interesting
Yep, as the sibling said, it’s to prove the point in a snarky manner. The yellow-on-white color, the wobbling, upside down path of text, the font choice, the unrelated image; all of these serve to make the concept actively hard to process.
Hopefully this sparks a little “wow I wonder if my image of text was also hard to read like I just experienced” moment.
Some listings go so far as to be worded like “electric drill for Makita battery”.
