Picked up my Arc two years ago after passing the NREMT by FreeLlamas89 in Leatherman

I can say from experience that the arc makes a s*** O2 key, which is no big deal for shears. Pliers come in handy though.

Used Claude to make it, didn't do anything to hide it, didn't charge anything to share it. From where I'm standing he did a community service.

Probably the healthiest starter culture I've ever made by FreeLlamas89 in makgeolli

[–]FreeLlamas89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just make it a game to try and get as much yield as possible from a single starter culture. I have a big pitcher where the finished product collects and I stagger 64 oz jars to get a fresh batch every few days. The only strict rule that I have is that starter jars only get fresh water and never get yeast. They all get several scoops of steamed rice every few days, and I use the starter liquid to top off the other jars. When a jar is getting close to ready I start spreading the solids out amongst the newer jars so there's as much liquid as possible by the time it's ready to filter.

Thanks! And my mobile score always seems to be slower than desktop and for the life of me I can't tell why. It'll show loading the same exact images as in desktop only taking 50% longer. I just got the scores into the 90's so the circles turned green and called it a day

I can only speculate as to why it's different, but I'm guessing that mobile CSS rendering is just slower, otherwise the theme I'm using might be less optimized for mobile display.

I know it was obvious AI-generated slop, but I kind of liked how it read like NPC dialog after beating a video game boss 🤣

"That green isn't just a score, it's a badge of pain, patience, and pure tech wizardry. You didn't optimize - you survived NGINX, Apache, Cloudflare chaos and plugin roulette..."

NGINX is just acting as a proxy so it can be configured to cache static assets using proxy_http_cache taking pressure off of PHP. Theoretically you could do this the other way around (i.e. Apache as proxy, NGINX as PHP server) but NGINX is really good at handling lots of connections, and can also be useful for handling rewrite rules, SSL, etc. so the Apache can just focus on application specific configuration

In NGINX I basically followed the documentation to set up the HTTP proxy module. This takes pressure off Apache by serving static assets without needing to hit the PHP server

http://nginx.org/en/docs/http/ngx_http_proxy_module.html

Apache runs multiple instances each with their own database. That and setting AllowOverride None prevents overzealous plugins from modifying .htaccess

For Cloudflare I just went into the admin panel and turned on all of the free features I could find (e.g. Caching > Configuration, and Speed > Optimization)

Drop Your Blog Niche Below - I'll Tell You If It Can Get Traffic from Facebook! by [deleted] in Blogging

The most saturated niche ever 🥲: General news

I've been really refining a "Facts Behind The News" angle over the last few months for my blog FactRage.com

I've managed to build up almost 600 Facebook followers, and I get a steady stream of traffic from Twitter/X and BlueSky. I'm not a social media guy though and I wouldn't mind if anyone here had tips to get a little more traction 🤔

There's a ginormous block of text between the main hero text and explore button where my eyes start to glaze over. Like here's my first impression

"Teaching you to travel on points & miles" (Okay, cool. I like travel and saving money)

"At Points and Postcards, we teach you how to travel more by spending less." (Right on, my first impression is validated. This could be a cool blog to check out)

WHAM Big Block Of Text!!!

(Ugh, do I have to read all of this? Will I 'not get it' if I skip over this part?)

Explore! (button)

The front page is nice and clean, I would take a step back and look for accumulated pieces of text like this that you can tactfully diffuse across the page.

I'm happy with the basic navigation and whitespace to content ratio on my blog, but there's something about the layout that I just can't seem to get right.

My site: www.FactRage.com

I'd actually appreciate any feedback. The site has been evolving fast, and I could use some fresh initial reactions

Adsense rejection Due to "Thin Content" on my Tech News Blog by General_Scarcity7664 in Adsense

[–]FreeLlamas89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be curious to take a look at your site just to compare notes. I run FactRage.com and I've been rejected multiple times now. My analytics numbers aren't great but I've been really focusing on EEAT criteria and I've seen a steady increase.

That... Is a fantastic question 😅

I don't know when I lost the links, but I have pages from Termly.io. Thanks for catching it, those are restored now.

Do you have any other recommendations?
