Dang these are much more useful than my first port of call for looking up http codes... which is http.cat/<code>. It's a shame you have to know what a code is to get to it... e.g. /404-not-found works instead of /404

It's good to have options but... I hate passkeys. Here is why:
1. Passkeys are device dependent. That means you need to have more devices and be tied to your existing devices. For a lot of people, that means even tighter phone dependence.
2. Even if you don't use a phone to store your passkeys, they promote vendor lock-in, because you need to rely on Apple, Google, or some other cloud-keychain system to store your passkeys.
Tech companies love passkeys, not because it makes your life better, but because it entrenches people further into relying on their systems. People will love passkeys because it appears simple and makes passwords a thing of the past.
But there's a tradeoff: more dependence on advanced technology are major tech corps. Let me ask you this: suppose you want to go phone-free and big-tech company free. Or you lose your phone and computer overseas. If you only use a passkey, then you'll have to grovel back to Apple or Google to log into your fastmail. Tech corps love that.
This is just one step to make people tied to big tech, and so it seems harmless. But it is part of an overall procedure to integrate us so tightly (free Google docs, log in with Google/Apple/X is another of many), so that we can't function on our own any more, or choose any company we like any more.
I still haven't reckoned the security implications, but Bitwarden supports passkeys, you can mostly use them the same way as you do a username/password across devices.
Not exactly a database but the Australian government has a few available at https://www.yourhome.gov.au/house-designs

And if you dont?
Then you probably don't have humidity either, so the collector won't work.
I'm not sure whether it was due to changes in the algorithm, but at some point the logged-out front page that most people see became easily 50% outrage porn - a picture of a truck parking in two parking spaces, shaky video of someone being racist in public, most recently message conversations from horrible bosses.
When someone eventually makes an account and delves into the more niche subreddits, that's the culture that they're expecting and as more do it, it starts to change the culture of the niche subreddits as well.
Ironically the secret to reddit's success was that it was just left alone with very few changes for so long. The front page was already a dumpster fire at that stage, but a dumpster fire mostly contained to the top 20 subreddits. Now that it's more clever about pulling in posts from more niche subreddits that are doing well, or based on geolocation, it pulls people into the subreddits more which accelerates the Eternal September effect.
You don't necessarily have to choose - you can post on your own blog, then copy-paste it to Medium and set the canonical url back to your own address so you keep some of the SEO-juice.
When senior government officials are spending time & public mindshare/attention on whether a particular font is or is not diverse then you know it is game over.
The details don't matter...this being a topic at all is the news
