Even before I clicked on the article, I had a strong feeling this person was using CloudFlare DNS and the related API. (They are.) Given the immense popularity of Cloudflare DNS + API + ACME DNS-01 challenge, why are not other DNS providers

How an entire article about rotary mixers fails to mention Rane or their legendary MP2016 mixer is wild. It became one of the most commonly available rotary mixers, was the house mixer for many NYC clubs, and one of the mixers commonly foun
