  • Okay, so the players try chopping off a head, say the red one, and the whispers start to dissipate (and no heads grow back). Awesome! they think, and quickly dispatch the other two. But once all three heads are gone, five more grow back: green, blue, red, white, and different red, I guess? And the party is immediately beset by visions, which are somewhat clearer and more vivid than the last ones.


  • Another consideration: changing email providers. Any email address using your custom domain can travel with you to other providers, where you can just set up another catch-all address. Aliases are specific to your email provider, so if you want to switch, you’d need to manually go to every site and update each login to a new alias.

    And you can always get two domains–one for your more sensitive stuff, and a cheap generic one for the rest. A lot of domains are dirt cheap if you don’t care what the TLD is.

    Catch-alls are more easily traceable, yes, but depending on your privacy concerns vs convenience (and your fear of getting locked out of an account if your alias becomes unavailable, for example), it might be worth it for you.

    The space? That will be based on how the website is designed (and many web frameworks do this). There might be an extension out there to do it, but I wouldn’t count on it working terribly well.

    Your other option is to zoom in until the content fills your screen.

    Though I’m only 62% sure I understand what you’re asking.






  • You can get away without a database (and assuming you don’t need anything too complicated, I recommend not using one). I’ve had a good experience with GetSimple - it’s a content management system (like WordPress) but uses regular files instead of a database. Great for basic content, and still easy to set up and manage.

    Self-hosting is a bit complicated if you’re not already comfortable running a Linux server. Not sure about privacy (though I’m not sure how privacy intersects a public-facing website), but there are lots of hosting providers out there. I use DreamHost and have had a great experience there.





  • Nothing against the main point of the article, but I think there’s a misinterpretation of the question happening.

    When people argue about which edition is “best,” I generally interpret that as a subjective argument, where the article seems to think people are arguing about an objective “best” (which they rightly acknowledge is a flawed idea).

    If we interpret the question as subjective, it’s not a dumb question–it’s just a question of preferences. Though perhaps it needs a qualifier to make it productive (i.e. “what edition is best for me?”).
