It shows I've visited twice already, from different countries, IPs and browsers. I don't think this works. This open source one does work between incognito and normal session: https://fingerprintjs.github.io/fingerprintjs/

Unrelated, they have a few services that rely on GCP which is down. Still, I imagine the people working on the maintenance for Tokyo turned white during that job worried it was caused by them...

Cloudflare KV is also having an outage. I wonder who is reliant on who here.

With my 49" I use OBS + Mouse follow script + OBS preview window on laptop screen and share my entire laptop screen. That way I know the window size is suitable for others viewing from their laptops and the preview follows my mouse and you can tweak zoom levels and mouse boundaries on the fly. Also the OBS preview window opens on launch, without opening the main OBS window. So you never have to see/interact with the main OBS window/application again so it really feels standalone which is great.

What I love about Vue/Nuxt devs are not only the powerful tooling they create, but the way they build it so any framework can utilise it. Biggest examples are Vite, Unjs, Nitro. Plus I love the way they think about providing so much flexibility with deployments. Want to deploy your SSR Nuxt app to Cloudflare workers? It’s a 1 line config change in the Nitro config

Experienced that this week! Upgraded to node 20 and typescript and his p-limit lib was the source of a lot of pain. No matter how much I changed the tsconfig I just couldn’t get it to work with the subpath imports his lib used. Ended up downgrading the lib to previous major and moving on.

We all here live in a tech bubble. None of my friends and family have a 2FA app, or know what one is. They understand SMS, and it's better than no 2FA at all.
