   I've been using Sphinx for 20 years for full-text search with a custom stemmer. I considered switching to Manticore, but didn't see a huge need to do so, because Sphinx still works well for me and requires zero maintenance. Any bi

    Contact (and, if you can, visit) one of the top ophthalmologists in the world, as soon as possible. You cannot take a risk that your local doctor is good enough. Starting point: https://www.willseye.org

    Highly recommend visiting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pech_Merle if you are interested in cave paintings. Easy to access if you stay in Cahors the night before.

    I've been very happy with Tello. $5/month if, like me, you barely use your phone. Their 500 MB/month data plan with no voice minutes + one-time $20 pay-as-you-go minutes. Splitting data and voice like this means no taxes or f

    Linode's been solid for me for 15 years, I only moved some projects to Hetzner for better pricing. Linode staff were always very helpful, nothing but positive experiences. Hope their support will remain great.
