There's a bug on the page. If your screen width is wider than portrait tablet size the first question is not rendered.

According to the author cloud domains are shutting down as well.

I recommend https://bearblog.dev (free) or https://ghost.org (paid). Both let you use your own domain.

It's fun to set up static site generators but I think it's better to pick something you can start writing in immediately instead of spending time thinking about what to use.

If you end up enjoying blogging you can switch to different software later if you like. But don't let that stop you from starting to write now.

Some technical details about the project you may find interesting:

- They were hosted on Digital Ocean but received a (probably invalid) DMCA takedown and all their servers were shut down by DO

- In response they bought an IPv4 block and built an Anycast CDN so complaints go to Neocities instead of the hosting provider

- People sometimes host spam or phishing sites on the domain which can cause google to flag it as malicious[0]

- There's a geocities gallery by the same author kyle[1]

I interviewed kyle if you want to hear more about the project[2].

It looks like they took a break this summer but plan to do another release of WriteFreely.

That’s correct. The open issue is here: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/1572

Last year they discussed why they didn’t choose rust (predicted 12-18 months to build a runtime that met their requirements) or erlang (performance too slow):

yes, there’s a little more detail here:

"Business Starter" accounts are a different category of account that can't join or create a family (To share YouTube Premium, YouTube TV, etc). Also, if you stop paying your email account gets suspended.

Individual is a "normal" Google account and doesn't increase your storage from the default 15GB or support custom domains. But if you stop paying you still have a valid @gmail account and just lose access to the additional features.

NetNewsWire[0] is great but MacOS and iOS only.

For browsers that do not support HLS you can use a JavaScript HLS client implementation[0] using Media Source Extensions[1].

If you want this functionality you can encode the video into chunks at multiple quality levels using video2hls[0] and host them anywhere you like[1].

I was! Thanks for being a part of creating Subversion.

GoatCounter is open source and there’s a free hosted option for non commercial use:

It is strange that they don't link to the pro versions on their page.

It's .NET focused but this FAQ[0] (2009) has good general advice regarding things like message framing and detecting dropped connections.

There are three main efforts in the official announcement[0]:

- Forum for COBOL programmers to express interest in volunteering or hiring[1]

Yes, with a properly configured CDN you can continue serving information even when the application server is overloaded or down.

I would suggest this route for organizations that are already using dynamic solutions like Wordpress.

Yes, https://netlify.com is great for this too and supports most static site generators.

This is pretty cool. It shows you how spelunky procedurally generates levels and ensures they can be completed by the player.

Unfortunately, it only works in Chrome.

Are you thinking of user-to-user sharing (ex: daniel shares his list with justin) or something more global?

To give an example: The indiehackers website uses firebase as its data store. It's a blog/forum, so posts and comments made by individual users can be seen by people who don't have accounts. Is this a use case you plan to support in the future?

If not, the potential use cases are much narrower than firebase. Not necessarily a bad thing but I'm just trying to understand the product.

If I understand correctly currently the data is per user and not shared.

If you have a todo app, the user can log in and see and modify their todos but there would be no way for them to share their todos.

There is no shared access to a modifiable store which I believe would be necessary for the view counter, comment, and signup use cases.
