    I use ProtonMail. Cheap, easy, takes bitcoin, open source (iirc), basically as good as you can expect wrt privacy and security from an email provider. I’ve been very happy so far.

      Another vote for ProtonMail - they also actively improve it, and you can (for a price) use it for your own small business/domain, but the free version is very good on its own.

      Even if I don’t agree very much with the use of the term “brutalism” to define this ensemble of loosely-related designs, there are some refreshing items in this collection.

          Nice! I liked it so much I updated my blog to use it, with some slight modifications and additions.

          I also was astonished to learn that you don’t need to put your content in html & body tags to validate HTML. Was it always thus? Or is this new in HTML5?

            The only required element in HTML 5 is a <title>.

              That is positively horrific.

                And the !doctype declaration ;) (in some quite particular cases, even title could be omitted)

                That’s really nice! It loads pretty much instantaneously, too.

                  Thanks! I removed normalize.css, skeleton.css and it seemed to speed up loading by a fair bit. Perhaps because they were served from the same host and I was nailed by the paralell request limit? (I have no idea what this is for modern browsers.)

                Not precisely an April Fool’s per se, but an article over a legendary 1957 April Fool’s, still fondly remembered: Is this the best April Fool’s ever?
