   Just want to flag that Twilio’s 2FA service, Authy, is tightly tied to SMS. For example, if you want to login to iwantmyname.com, it asks you for your Authy totp, but if you don’t remember it, they’ll settle for an SMS code instead. And tha

   What perplexes me is how these sites make it to the _front page._ Isn't ranking heavily informed by the number of sites that link to the page in question, and the reputation of those sites? I would imagine that the only sites linking t

   Hi! I’m one of the people who fall in the middle of the Venn diagram, and just wanted to let you know I was reading your website and the menu hamburger button doesn’t seem to work on my iPhone 14 on Safari or Firefox, so I couldn’t get to t

   Ah, not quite — sorry for my confusing reply! It’s just that you could “send mail as” your custom domain without “on behalf of” showing up for the recipient.

   I’m not the OP but I’ll note that google domains was the only way to use a personal domain with a consumer/free gmail account without that “sent on behalf of” thing, if I recall correctly. I moved away from Gmail a few years ago, so I’

   I love IWMN except for the fact that their 2FA implementation is deprecated and falls back to SMS (which is not a secure enough channel for something as important as domains). I’ve been emailing them about this annually for several years an

    Hey, not sure if this was your intention, but your comment came across as quite rude, and makes me feel discouraged from commenting on something in the future that I'm not 100% confident about. And of course that's no way to learn

    A neat tip I learnt about for Kindle recently: you can email a PDF to your unique "send to Kindle" email address and put the subject line "Convert" and it will re-flow the document so it's resizable and easy to read

    I wonder if it took so long because of how difficult pluralising-after-the-fact is [1]. For example, I imagine all client apps keep a list of contacts and a one-to-one public key for each contact (rather than one-to-many). [1]: https:&#x2F

    Something I've often pondered: what about push notifications? Aren't their contents floating around in your phone in plain text? I've thought about it since I used to use https://www.pushbullet.com/ (a great

    I can think of a variety of uses for this, but they all involve confidential data. Their privacy policy doesn't mention what they do with the prompts/data we send to the API, but I presume It's reviewed and worked into the mo

    Fair point, but one minor correction is that technically it’s an out of the box action from a template, officially provided by GitHub. Not a huge difference, but you don’t really lose anything that you’d have from the traditional deployment

    Not sure if this is in the list of allowed plugins, but…While the “deploy the GH-pages branch” workflow is still around, you can now just go to the settings of your repo and switch to actions mode, and it will generate an actions workflow t
