For other ways to sync status/mark as reading, you can checkout [hardcover.app](https://hardcover.app). My wife found it as she is also very interested in divesting from Amazon. I found a [Koreader plugin](https://github.com/Billiam/hardcoverapp.koplugin) as well

The problem is that it's very chicken and egg. You want to build enough flexibility into the system to support the next step you are looking to take while not introducing so much complexity that you end up not doing the things that deliver value to the customer.

That said, I've been in the situation where there were 50+ "billing plans" and who knows how many custom plans in order to support some lighthouse customers... It was not a fun experience and the move to an entitlements system was painful. If you start from the idea of entitlements/feature flags/etc separate from the billing logic, you can save yourself a ton of heartache later.

Definitely this. Also lots of weird hardware/software out there that tends to discard packets it can't understand (i.e. this doesn't look like a DNS packet going to port 53, let's drop it.) 443 generally works as it is expected to be encrypted by most middleware.

I would also say that most DNSCrypt-capable providers I know of can also do it on port 53.

Full Disclosure - work for Cisco/OpenDNS. https://www.opendns.com/no-more-ads/ talks about why we shut off ads. As to "how" we were able to. We do offer paid services to both home and business (SMB through Enterprise) users. Additionally, we are a security and data company -- free service feeds into data driven models for security that benefits all suers.

So does DigitalOcean:

I'm not seeing anything there that substantially differs from the previous version, but IANAL.

I have kids, 4 of them actually and I must say I agree with the author. The problem with the Kiddle approach is that it doesn't help kids when they need it. Additionally, telling them it's a "bad word" doesn't encourage them to talk to their parents about it, but may have the exact opposite effect.

A better approach would be curated results for these terms vs no results. Or maybe a banner that says "This is a great topic to talk to your parents about." Who knows, may actually work. Probably not thought...

The second I saw this I wanted great.ist just to really make people go "WTF?" Sadly, someone beat me to the punch..
