… standard, and counting days works the same worldwide.
Celebrating pi day on March 14th is US-centric. More countries write dates day/month instead of US month/day.

Important #indieweb lesson in #modular website setup this morning:
Keep your DNS provider separate from your CDN separate from your webhost, so you can swap out any one of them as necessary.

1/1 is a good day to publish a year in review on your #indieweb site.
Services that create a year in review weeks beforehand (e.g. #Spotify #Unwrapped or #Strava #YearInSport), are short-changing you.
No one asked for an 11 months in review.

⚠️ .io domain likely being phased-out (as were .cs & .yu) — 7 suggested steps
1. Avoid buying new #dotIO domains
2. Run a .io service? Make & publicize a transition plan
3. Got an #indieweb .io? Make a transition plan
4. Using a .io e.g. #GitHubPages?
