Less then $1/month if you've got low traffic. I haven't used this, but I have this type of setup for a static site that uses Hugo.

- S3 costs: $0.10/month

- Route53: $0.50/month ($0.50 per hosted zone)

S3 costs could be lower - I have other buckets with stuff that count towards my cost.

The man in the foreground appears to be George Washington. There's some barely visible text in the space above the cannon ("Pri"; "Lib") but I can't make out the rest (I'd guess something about liberty).

I just tried http://yahoo.com and it gave me a 301 redirect to https://www.yahoo.com. (Same with http://www.yahoo.com).

http://example.com is my go-to.

Update: I've changed the API used from ipify.org to ipapi.co, which plays more nicely with uBlock.

Another goal was to keep this super cheap, quick, and familiar, so this uses a static site hosted on S3. Pennies per month, but no server-side power.

I'm not a web dev by trade, so perhaps there's a way to make it work. Maybe using WebRTC with a fallback to ipify for IE. Something to investigate!

Kayaking works similarly for me. Nothing serious or intense, just a cheap rental in a slow river or bay.

Same option on Android - I'm curious if this is related as well, or if there are separate Google analytics being sent.

Yep, UC Health as in the medical care provider associated with the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. Press release regarding the breach here:

Side note - I'm a patient of UC Health and hadn't seen this news until now, but I'm also not within the scope of this breach. They've been great medically, but I agree with the post that some follow-up information would be much better.

But what about the three-word sentence "I communicate well"?

More seriously, the most that reading "I'm a good communicator" tells me is that the writer can form sentences reasonably.

Succinct? Sure, but it's still so broad. When I'm working with someone, I would appreciate a troubleshooting message of "The Flob server is saying clients don't have the right Gruffin anymore." instead of "Flob isn't working."

Obviously this depends on context, but choosing where to be succinct is key. My project manager would much rather hear "Flob is down for half the users - we'll have a patch tested and deployed by tomorrow afternoon" than "Flob broke, and we're fixing it".

"I have a proven history of writing clear and efficient end-user documentation" and "I'm someone people enjoy bouncing ideas off of" give me more confidence in someone's communication skills than "I'm a good communicator".

Wow, this is the first I've heard of photos being taken at a register. Do you mind sharing what store this was, or if it was triggered by the purchase of a specific item?

I realize this request to reveal where you shopped, or what item you bought, is in response to your objection to being tracked, so I understand if you'd rather not say :)
