Is there any inexpensive USB-based security keys? I'd love to get one for my Mac and PC but Yubico Nano is $50; I would like two of these, but they are $100 already. EDIT: I also see Yubico Fido Keys which are $20 each (and $36 for 2)

I didn't know about TOML until I started using Hugo. I've been using YAML and TOML and I find both have their merits, especially for their simplicity. TOML looks like the classic INI file, and is fairly easy to use/learn.

Wow, this was created with Excel, and the source is included! Thus, anyone can customize the cheatsheet with Excel and include personal hotkeys and mapping. For example, I have my ctrl-h and ctrl-j mapped to up/down arrow. Anyway, t

I'm amazed how well the music sounds, especially with instruments like glockenspiel and pad. Is there a license for the generated music? It would be nice to include it in Youtube videos, for example. Jukedeck is another music generat

Speaking of DEC.com, it was purchased for $57,500 few years ago by Paul Kocher. I'd say it was a bargain, considering the rich heritage of DEC and it's alexa ranking.

Having an alternative to SSH is appealing, as SSH is pretty much required for most servers but it is also target of most attack vectors. If Oxy becomes production-ready, I'd definitely consider using it so I can block all SSH and elimi

Hugo. Many years ago, I started with Wordpress (and tried many PHP-based CMS like Typo3, Drupal, Joomla, Mambo, etc). Many years later, I eventually moved onto static site generators and discovered the joy and freedom of pure static HTML.
