+1 for Porkbun. I use tld-list.com to shop around for registrars when I need a TLD that Porkbun don't handle.

Coming soon: advertise in local event slop posters!

I know you didn't ask, but check your Time Machine snapshots in Disk Utility. If you prefer a CLI approach, this should work:

  for d in $(tmutil listlocalsnapshotdates | grep "-"); do sudo tmutil deletelocalsnapshots $d; done


Also didn't ask about docker and "docker system prune".


I have a terrible work / non-work balance, and one trivial habit I've established is turning off my (Mac mini & MacBook Air) computers & screens when my work time is done. I don't want it to be trivially easy for me to just do one more thing…there be dragons. My Saturday mornings are more often markers for running Onyx[1] for maintenance.

Just wanted to add that Nitro was built by Nik Bhatt, who was the Senior Director of Engineering at Apple leading the Aperture and Core Image teams. I believe he built Nitro specifically to fill the vacuum Apple left behind. Not sure how close it gets to the OG.


Yeah, I was on the Photos team when Nik Bhatt left Apple to start this project/company. So I suppose you clearly have Aperture DNA there…


shame I had not heard of this till today.


Also loved Aperture and also a shame this is the first time I've heard of this tool.


I’m a big fan of their Raw Power app as well that predated Nitro.


thanks for recommending that: i had not found it and also lament Aperture's retirement for years. Subscribed monthly to Nitro just now...looks great

>I was Cloudflare's CTO.

A gentle reminder to not take any CF-related frustrations out on John today.


He's now on the Board so not left.

Not that I think blaming individuals on forums who are already under stress is a good strategy anyway.


His personal website is down too.


Oh no, we can’t take a (former) executive to task about what they’ve wrought with their influence!!! That would be wrong.

If anything, he should be the first to be blamed for the greater and greater effect this tech monster has on internet stability, since, you know, his people built it.


>I know this was a joke

I'm…missing the joke – could someone explain, please? Thank you.


Not a front end engineer but I imagine this boilerplate allows the JavaScript display engine of choice to be loaded and then rendered into that DIV rather than having any content on the page itself.


It's because "modern" web developers are not writing web pages in standard html, css or js. Instead, they use javascript to render the entire thing inside a root element.

This is now "standard" but breaks any browser that doesn't (or can't) support javascript. It's also a nightmare for SEO, accessibility and many other things (like your memory, cpu and battery usage).

But hey, it's "modern"!


This. But hey, let's work on swinging the pendulum of technology back while keeping the DX. I'm doing that with https://mastrojs.github.io/

We're looking at how feasible it would be to do an export-import conversion:
