It was never about the drugs or migrants. Trump himself said "nothing" Canada can do to prevent tariffs[1]

TL;DR Author threw away watch because they keep forgetting to charge it and managing charging cable was difficult.

There must be reasonably easy solutions to both of these problems.

It is feasible to run a small static HTML/CSS/JS page from this microcontroller with a Nginx, Varnish, etc cache frontend.

0172 — Fri, 20 Oct 2023 21:44:07 +0000

I recently received a 144Hz ASUS monitor from the IT department at my company. I don't game on company computer and yet the difference while doing regular day-to-day work was noticeable. Cursor stutter/delay was noticeable when I switched back to my personal laptop with 60Hz setting. Time to look forward to 240Hz!

How is it different than djangogigs.com? It has been around since 2008 apparently.

I had a similar experience transferring a domain I registered with Namecheap to Cloudflare. They did not let me add the domain at all citing similar reason. Perhaps the previous owner of the domain was abusing it.

ERPs are a commonplace to have this ability. NetSuite is another example.

I, for one, am grateful to be a Canadian and appreciate everything the governments (federal and provincial) have done.

I would also like to know the reason why a subdomain is not sufficient to host a status page as long it's pointing to an independent infrastructure.

The only reason I was with Dyn is because they acquired EveryDNS. The cycle of big fish eating the little fish continues.
