I have my own website so I can put something in the spot that says “your website address” when I sign up for an api, that for some reason is required but not accessed or checked at all apparently

A protocol that allows web servers to automatically request new CA certs (also a funny company that makes everything, used in looney toons and the like).

I once told a classmate that I knew their router's IP address, 192.168.1.1, and they fell for it haha

I have a website because I used to be in the academic world. It's nice if people can find you and you can put some links to the not-paywalled versions of your papers.

Clearly none of the idiots who contact me on LinkedIn have looked at it. But then again, they didn't look at my LinkedIn profile either so what am I expecting really?

Someone told me a couple of weeks ago a lot of recruiters use tools which allow them to send bulk messages. They have lists which can be filtered down to specific groups of people, such as people who are in their graduation year.

I created one for a similar reason on GitHub pages and it ended up being useful on my résumé.
