X passports safety note
(x passports are cool and awesome but please remember that some countries may have safety, legal, or even technical issues with it right now and that’s not super easy to work around without a second passport!
that’s not to say you shouldn’t get one, just consider all the angles. )
okay look. i get it, you want your website to be an app and you don't wanna worry about updating the location bar on content changes but TWICE today, on two different mainsteam sites, I tried to copy a link for some content I'd clicked through to via something else and it's given me the original item's URL.
i should not require a share button for your web content??
Europe: GDPR!
Germany: your IP address is personal data so... yeah loading Google Fonts is a GDPR violation.
UK: Oh, yeah, just give Facebook your passport, birth certificate and driving license, who even cares

I tried to turn off the notification category for "Recommended items" in the Amazon app and it told me that doing so would disable Amazon Smile in the app.
Like, idc, I don't use the app to shop, it's only there so I know when I'm expecting certain scheduled things, but
c'mon
that's not even pretending to be good. you don't get to brag about how much you give to charity when the consumers are basically required to offset it by letting you advertise more.
BitWarden IPv6 bug (& workaround)
Apparently Bitwarden's Android client has a bug in scenarios where both the client device and the server have routeable IPv6 addresses (https://community.bitwarden.com/t/unable-to-login-on-android/14447/13)
Hacky workaround: I added a second DNS entry (vault4.domain) that only has an IPv4 address, added it to the nginx vhost config and added it to the LetsEncrypt TLS cert.
Configuring the Android client with the IPv4-only hostname seems to make it happy.
(In theory you could do the same with just the IPv4 address but that makes the situation un-ideal for a good, valid TLS cert)
