    58 bytes of css to look great nearly everywhere

    58 bytes of css to look great nearly everywhere (enhanced version) This should be simple drop-in css. I've since changed the padding to 1.5rem for a happier compromise between mobile and desktop displays. The padding also provides sorely-needed top and bottom whitespace.

Many companies have been trying to disrupt email by making it proprietary. So far, they have failed. Email keeps being an open protocol. Email is not distributed anymore. You cannot set it up on your own datacenter.

    GPU Mining No Longer Profitable After Ethereum Merge

    The best graphics cards should finally be back where they belonged, in your gaming PC. That's a quick drop, considering yesterday there were still a few cryptocurrencies that were technically profitable. Buying a used graphics card looks like it's set to become far.

    A person/company sets up fake Upwork profiles of real people. They apply to jobs in hopes to get an interview using that fake profile. They find victims on GitHub who are willing to go along with this. The response I got I'm not sure how to react - an apology for assuming my identity which is absolutely insane.
