My understanding is that, if you use their plugin, they only rebuild the cache when you add new content. Any crawlers would be interacting only with the cached version of your site, hosted on the nearest edge location.

I'm surprised there aren't more comments about this. It is a brilliantly positioned service that takes some features that were previously only available at the paid levels ($20 and up) and bundles them into a $5 add-on for free us

After 3 years, I heartily recommend the Advantage2. Using it is simply more fun. I use mine with a trackpad sitting in the space between the two wells. Creating those wells is, apparently, a tough engineering challenge, which is why so few

Standout feature for me is the claimed OTG via USB-C. The videos show a guy using it with their own Bluetooth keyboard, but if this can be used with a good mechanical keyboard, such as the Kinesis Advantage2, connected via USB, that might m

Well, whatever he thought, Covid-19 has blown everyone's plans wide open. Erdogan has to somehow keep his deeply indebted country rolling and his population of 82 million employed. It seems foolish to start picking fights with his bigg

About 15% of Turkey's exports are to the EU, and over two-thirds of their tourists. Turkish industry heavily utilizes EU financial and consulting services. Turkey also benefits from various infrastructural and knowledge-sharing schemes

Neither aunty_helen nor anyone else is suggesting an invasion of Turkey. They don't need to. Turkey's move towards isolationism is going to do more damage than any invasion could. It does not matter if some unnamed EU diplomat thi

It was not left unoccupied for almost half a century by mistake. There was an actual UN resolution that ruled it could only be resettled by the original inhabitants. Tearing down those homes and building over them will be deeply consequenti

The whole trans thing has become so politicized over the past few years, I suspect a lot of guys would worry that a trans colleague would be far more likely to construe innocent interactions as discrimination.
