Zoho has a lite email plan for $12 per year per user. I can put my whole 6 user domain on Zoho for the same price as a single Google Workspace user and the loss of things like Google Drive aren't really a loss in my opinion because I

It's the purchases for me. I'd be ok with every user in my domain getting converted into standalone Google accounts. If they don't do something, I'm going to think about emailing every developer I've ever bought an

+1 for Porkbun. The site is clean/simple and they support WebAuthn with the ability to add multiple keys. They also have an extra password option for important domains which I set to my phone PIN so it isn't written down everywh

Awesome! I have some questions about the way usage works. I'm wondering if there's a point where efficient, short lived executions are more cost effective as Unbound rather than the bundled Workers now. The docs [1] say: > C

The Cloudflare stuff is the first "serverless" platform I've considered using. I develop independently and the value proposition is too good to ignore. They scale to $0 on idle deployments, I don't have to maintain any

It feels censored. Is it? For example: - bigbongforbonnie.com = 1 exact match - bigbongforbonnie = no results - bigbongsforbonnie = lots of recommendations that aren't good For the last one, I say the recommendations aren't good

I've looked at HNS and ENS a bit. I want a domain on both, but haven't bought any. The biggest problem is having to deal in crypto currency. In Canada buying and selling crypto currency is similar to dealing with stocks. You ne

Sometimes they have the cheapest renewal rate for some of the TLDs, so if you're deal hunting on sites like tld-list.com you could end up registering via Epik. Before today the only thing I knew about them was that they were the regist

Which TLD was it? I’ve been trying to find an example of a domain being reclassified as premium while registered for almost two years. Are you sure you didn’t let it expire? That violates the registry agreement AFAIK. They’re not allow

I tried to buy some of those. IMO, it's all DOA because the crypto currency end of it makes it too hard to deal with. I wanted a Handshake domain and a .eth domain. I even set up an account at an exchange to buy crypto which involve

It's actually a moderate pain to set up something that doesn't answer on port 443 unless you want to host it yourself. I tried with http://wifi.help , but it's at Cloudflare and I don't know of a way to block

It's a prelude to subscription Windows. Instead of having a family PC that everyone can use, every user with a Microsoft account will need a license. The OS for a family PC is eventually going up 5-10x in price IMO.
