Great article - funny & interesting :) Question about "Ads/advertisements" (I'm totally clueless about how they work): Does anybody have a link pointing to some kind of overview from the point of view of a website ow

Yeah, as a (small/tiny) donator for 3 projects so far I personally liked Patreon - neat, simple, it works. There are 3 other projects to which I'd like as well to donate something but they're all using different services ( h

Wikipedia is in my opinion unluckily a complex example because the donations are actually for Wikimedia. In my case I donated only once to them and I understood only later that (apparently?) most of the $ isn't being used for Wikipedia

I think that lmilcin was referring to "either use systemd on distribution X or switch to another distribution". E.g. in Gentoo you can choose to use SystemD or OpenRC, but I think that most other distros don't provide such

Maybe it would be nice if some sort of simple central index of "URLs + their last updated timestamp/version/eTag/whatever" would exist, updated by the site owners themselves? ("push"-notification) Meaning

Yep - but I think that I was using ext4 and/or xfs when I was seeing that happening... .

Thank you. I actually never used that seek-option, but I still think that what I wrote did happen. Mistery... .

Earlier today By clicking on some "dots" queued up on that map I think that I saw a ship tagged to transport "livestock" => that might become a small tragedy if they don't manage to clear quickly the channel - th

I agree. Making the protocol visible would confuse less my parents (I've recently seen them writing searches in the address bar BUT as well pasting URLs into Google's website's search field).

I think that I'm missing something. General question: can such emoji domain names be used as well for normal URLs for webbrowsers? (I guess "yes", but then why does the article focus that much only on email-addresses?) If yes

I guess that somebody will have to check all submissions => depending on the amount of people that earn $ through Youtube, the amount of work might increase quite a bit for the IRS?
