I really appreciated this too. Such a contrast with a similar article from someone offended because their "honesty" caused a patch to be rejected.

Not a counter-point, but: the other day I rebuilt my personal server, finishing by pointing the reserved IP at the new box. I then had a period of confusion because I was still seeing old content, because my browser (etc) was obviously querying the AAA record first, which I hadn't updated.

(a while ago I needed to contact support to get an IPv6 allocation at home, but that was a very quick interaction at the time)

About my only usage is to augment my isearch. I frequently use isearch to navigate to a place on screen, but sometimes there are so many matches it would take a lot of repeated "C-s" to get there. I have "C-'" bound to avy-isearch (from within isearch), which instantly turns that into one or two keystrokes to filter down.

If you follow Nims on Instagram he often links to other accounts.

That's great to hear, thanks! I haven't tested it in anger yet, and I'm not going to pretend to understand the display-code changes.

I recently started actively bookmarking pages again recently (after being an early Pinboard customer, but not a particularly busy one). I wrote a script to email me 5 random bookmarks every day, so now I treat bookmarking as a "like" button; something I find interesting at the time, and may want to rediscover in the future. I rarely use bookmarks to find something I'm searching for though.
