webnanners··on Newgrounds.com – A community of games, music, and art
I literally thought of newgrounds today and how different and wild it would be with world models and AI generated games. Then it shows up #1… wild.
webnanners··on Krebsonsecurity.com has an expired SSL certificate
This happened to braintree/paypal like a month ago.. and broke their API
webnanners··on Latency numbers every programmer should know (2012)
Not every programmer needs to know these numbers.
webnanners··on Why Nobody Cares About Your Banner Ads
Thanks for the read. I definitely agree, and that's where I was going near the end of my article / rant. People don't care if something is sponsored as long as it's what they want to read about. If you're trying to force something down a user's throat, they're not going to respond well to it. It seems like common sense, but apparently we're in the minority of the subject.
webnanners··on Make phone calls via slack, yes it transcribes in real-time
Not my project, but I stumbled upon it while researching the plausibility of a similar cognitive slack bot. It is indeed cool.

Telegram has fully encrypted real time chat.
webnanners··on Digital Ocean Private Networking Is Not Private
"Private Network" is often analogous with "Internal Network". They aren't lying,it's private as in it's using private IP assignment within their own infrastructure. Thus, private.

This is purely a case of not knowing industry terminology.

I agree with shaggy. I don't know how you would expect to have a VPN accessible only by your account's droplets for $5. A private network means an internal network. So it's just using the internal infrastructure of the data center to communicate with other droplets in the data center. It's more performant than using the external network. Usually companies' advertise a fully private account infrastructure as a "Private Cloud" or something of that nature.
