It is, the ranges mark up the ammo (what business doesn't) as they sell small quantities to a captive audience who will pay. Ammoseek represents the other end of the spectrum, ppl buying wholesale in larger quantities. Not represented are the hand loaders, typically sports-oriented going through a thousand a week in practice buying components at cost.

One I snack on with unsalted tortilla chips, the other I do not. But now I have to try it.

I am not trying to stand out excessively. ... I don’t want something commonly mispronounced.

Me trying to come up with a new domain name for a website. Also add "easy to spell for 5th graders" to the list because repeating it to someone on the phone is painful sometimes and they still get it wrong.

My immediate thought: the paperwork system of the world would fail. Correcting an extremely unique misspelled name (let's say it's two letters transposed) falls into that weird bucket of "close enough typos" that the OP would never recover. I'd be worried most about the financial systems screwing me over.

IMHO, best to change to something clearly different so that the paperwork world is given a clear indication of intentional change. Broadcast the intent loud and clear to force systems to change and not ignore it as "some stupid typo." $0.02

edit: sorry replied to the wrong comment my bad, meant the parent

I see folks mentioning going back to their dormant LFM accounts. The Metabrainz Foundation has a project ListenBrainz, a more open FOSS style version; if you're going to spin some scrobbling cycles maybe check it out:

(I stopped scrobbling years ago, privacy concerns)

Stars are just someone's bookmark (me included) because there's no simple "bookmark this because I'll forget in an hour and want to look at it later when I have time." If one trusts Stars, you're literally trusting a bookmark that I didn't put more than 2 seconds of thought into clicking because I have a bad memory. Many I know do the same.

I go straight to code history, show me what the commits look like. One can derive a lot about the project based on just the way the commit messages are written before looking at the code being changed. How the code is changed over time (process, communication, methods, etc.) adds more layers to the qualitative observation. I move on to Issues when I want to see how the devs interact with the users having problems, which is another story.

The dichotomy here is you can't be famous hosting exploits on smaller forges. Gotta be on the big platforms where you can be starred and forked for social media cred to make news stories to impress your friends. IIRC I think HeartBleed (maybe ShellShock?) was the tip of this popularity iceberg...

Hi all, it looks like discuss.online's automatic SSL juju didn't work right and the existing cert expired just a bit ago:

$ curl -vI https://discuss.online/
...
* Server certificate:
*   subject: CN=discuss.online
*   start date: Feb  8 06:59:01 2026 GMT
*   expire date: May  9 06:59:00 2026 GMT
*   issuer: C=US; O=Let's Encrypt; CN=E8

I'm sure it'll get fixed, but ... this is where the Far Side comics are hosted. 911 yall break glass beep the pagers we've got a code 2319 people. Save the cows.


Update awhile later: SSL cert was replaced. The cows have tools, which leads to engineering degrees and rapid repairs.
