Hey everyone, A recent conversation with @ecoinstant about managing my various Hive-Engine tokens led to a "how did I not think of that?" moment. I was explaining how I either sell or stake all

Hey everyone, A recent announcement from Let's Encrypt about issuing their first certificate for an IP address sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole. For some reason, I had always assumed that TLS/SSL

Hey everyone, It's Brain Drain Friday, and this week truly earned its name. Yesterday, I did a developer "no-no": I spent a good 12-14 hours debugging and fixing a legacy application directly

Hey everyone, I have a confession to make: I often don't have the time or patience to sit through a whole YouTube video. I can read much faster than most people can talk, and I just want to get to the
