China has also just launched a megawatt scale wind generator a the helium-lifted balloon, the S2000 , they have active thorium rector the TMSR-LF1 and GW/h Vandium flow battery. The scale , speed and breadth of what they are doing is incredible and I think missed my people

The ISP's blackhole the IP for some blocked domains. So changing your DNS to 8.8.8.8 will resolve the domain, but the IP won't work. A VPN avoids this, since the traffic goes via the VPN IP.

In that case it like someone controlling the DNS records for a banned site could cause some mischief

How is a company like mintlify getting so many big name customers for what appears to be a static site generator + hosting? Is there some secret sauce I'm missing, what is the value proposition?

> WordPress is a nice piece of software, but the plugin situation is getting worse and worse

The plugin situation is a mess largely because Wordpress isn't a nice piece of software.

It's popular, and functionally it's great, but the codebase is really showing its age. Wordpress has never properly rearchitected because it would break plugins on a scale that would endanger its dominance.

There's a whole industry of people selling solutions to WordPress's failings, all of whom have strong incentives for it not be properly improved.

It doesn't seem to have any internal tools it can use. For example, web search; It just runs curl in the terminal. Compared to Gemini CLI that's rough but it does handle pasting much better... Maybe I'm just using both wrong...

web search too is off by default
