I have Sonos and they work perfectly, I love them. If you think Sonos is bad (recent app update included) go look at the HomePod subreddit, it is basically non stop issues. Having said that, I use Airplay a bunch and it is fine for me. I ha

Apologies in advance if this is too off topic, it’s something that has been bugging me for a while and I wanted to mention it somewhere. I occasionally use the Unifi Wifiman app to quickly test my network, even though I don’t use Unifi gear

I’m confused. USASpending looks to be source-of-truth as you say, so how has the US federal government failed in tracking spending when said source-of-truth is supplied by them? Skimming OiG audit reports, they appear comprehensive and deta

A simple file based caching plugin like KeyCdn Cache Enabler saves every page as static html and uses Apache rewrite rules to serve those files until invalidated, bypassing php entirely. It is trivially easy to install and configure. Free t
