I run a "hackintosh" system with similar specs as in the blog post, and it works very well (after quite a bit of initial setup). I still far prefer macOS to Windows for development because it's an actual Unix, the UI is still

Google Cloud Storage comes to mind. From what I recall they can host static websites as well.

Mark Otto (@mdo) said that the `header-dark` class will be going away soon [1], so we can't be sure how long this extension will still be working. Personally, I like the dark bar, though at first it was confusing since the dark bar is

I think in general we can classify websites into 3 categories: static sites with no dynamic content, static sites with dynamic content (through, for example, REST API calls), and non-static sites (where the delivered HTML/front-end cod

I have a Ubiquiti setup for WiFi at home (though not as complex as in the blog post - just an EdgeRouter X and UniFi AC Lite). It has never gone down once, and performance is the same as on day 1: ubnt@ubnt:~$ uptime 06:16:26 up 140

Yup, I've tried most of the common switches, but ended up getting blues. Obviously it depends on personal preference, but I'm just saying that if you want a tactile, clicky keyboard, reds are usually not your first pick.

I find it a bit ironic that after complaining that Apple keyboards have lost all of their "sound" and "force", he goes out and buys a keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches, which have no tactility, no feedback, and very l

I can't imagine how one can code productively on an iPad - the environment and ecosystem just isn't there. I'm sure it's just as good, or better, at things like multimedia consumption and entertainment, but a lot of thin

The HA part looks pretty cool! I'm not a big fan of the design though. I find the visual hierarchy of the layout a bit confusing: - There isn't enough whitespace around the content, making it feel cramped - Scrolling isn't a

I'd love to see SSL support on custom domains as well, but I know there are a couple of reasons why it hasn't happened already: 1. GitHub Pages likely isn't a core focus for GitHub, however useful it may be 2. GitHub Pages is
