I’ve seen some posts advocating that I change servers.
Is there a directory or other guidance I shoukd be looking at? Happy to do so but a bit unsure where to start, and I have the usual noob questions of course

@RuthMalan You'd think that by now, the processes and forces that produce "technical debt" would be pretty well understood in the industry, but that's not my impression at all.

iPhone help needed! I’ve updated to iOS 16.4.1 on an modern SE (under 2 years old). The home button is suddenly not giving me any haptics. I’ve looked in settings and all three haptic settings feel the same - ie no sense of pressing a button. Any ideas how to get it back?

[aphex twin 'avril 14th']

In the 1970s the biggest celebrity in britain was a dog named prince that could say sausages

he appeared on a TV show called 'that's life'

one of the people who worked on that show was a man named adam curtis

Tomorrow I give an actual talk at an actual conference. Not usually the sort of thing I do, and there’s going to be 160 people there.

I might not sleep well.
