Could I use Cloudflare's free nameservers instead of Amazon Lightsail?

I do this occasionally, but am fine with using Bambu's integrated Slicer and Remote Control software. It works well enough.

Very pretty! Muted palette in light mode, but nice dark mode too!

I haven't seen a theme on OSM data look this modern and fresh before. Beautiful color palette and iconography!

Great app. I wish it supported PWA features like Web Share Targeting.

Opponents of the Dragon Tank point to it's 10-Million-Dollar fangs and 35-Million-Dollar prehensile tail and say this is somewhat excessive... But developing new technology is essential to maintaining America's military advantage.

It Just Works™... until you don't want to take the default option. I'm sure your average user would just be SoL if going through this same experience.

Yeah, iOS would never kill an app in the background to try and save battery

xd1936 — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 13:35:13 +0000

Did this exact thing for my four and six-year-old kids. I used an Ooma Telo Air[1] (Free + ~$6/mo in taxes and fees) and an old vTech landline phone. It's been highly successful in our house. The kids have (monitored) independence to call grandparents and aunts/uncles. Watching them translate written down 10-digit phone numbers into button presses is fun too.

Some people feel just as passionate about OS-level notifications and location permissions, and they turn them off. You can turn them off in your browser's settings as well. You'll be okay.

People like you could turn off these features and continue installing and updating native binaries for the Starbucks app or random hardware companion apps all you want. I'd like first-class PWAs please.
