It's crazy how little memory browser tabs and webviews get on iOS. With the devices themselves having memory crunch, with hardly ~1gb of usable ram available, there's so much pressure on efficiency everywhere ~ modelling, loading, rendering.

You're right. Fb doesn't seem to be using letsencrypt.

https://crt.sh/?q=facebook.com

On a side note, the amount of phishing sites using letsencrypt and having a domain similar to facebook.com is quite appalling.

Suspecting it might be related to the recent letsencrypt cert authority expiring? Was just debugging an issue earlier today and just couldn't help wondering how much of the internet is secured by letsencrypt.

All of the static hosts providing free SSL: vercel, netlify, render, firebase hosting, github pages, heroku etc. ...

It does work on modern browsers and devices but goes terribly broken on a lot of old devices.

Another thing I've recently found helpful was docker layer caching inside github actions. Pretty easy to integrate, saves a lot of build minutes.

Similiar experience growing up. Very very exciting and memorable times indeed.

Using nlite with xp sp3 to make 256mb sd ram usable with out needing to reinstall the os every few weeks was the challenge.

Also, trying out Ubuntu through free Linux cd shipped from somewhere in the world was literally the most exciting experience of 8th grade.

These days I just mull over ideas long enough to see them built as opensource.

This one, is nice! Long live LinkAce.

I expect the support to be pathetic. I have had a transaction from April this year that is still stuck in processing... with no sign of refund.
