Micro Domains Showcase Micro.blog’s Flexible Hosting Power
I sort of collect “micro” domain names now, so using micro.ink for Inkwell felt right. All the HTML and JS is actually bundled in a Micro.blog plug-in and served just like any blog. I think it demonstrates how flexible Micro.blog hosting can be.

Hetzner Announces Significant Price Hikes Starting April 2026
Hetzner (Hacker News, Reddit):
The costs to operate our infrastructure and to buy new hardware have both increased dramatically. Therefore, our price changes will affect both existing products and new orders and will take effect starting on 1 April 2026.
We have genuinely tried hard to optimize our costs and to prevent increasing our prices for as long as possible. But we can no longer compensate for the strain that it has placed on our operations. We want to continue to deliver quality products that meet both our standards and your expectations, so we must take this step.
Here’s the table of pricing changes, which seem to vary from single-digit to triple-digit increases.
I updated this post to reflect that price increase. I have not found any statement that the IPv4 prices are changing, so I assume that they are not.

Ancient Chinese Floods Linked to Pacific Typhoons
Warmer waters in the Pacific Ocean may have brought devastating floods to the cradle of ancient Chinese civilization, according to a recent study in which its authors link three wildly different lines of evidence to tell the story. People in Shang Dynasty China, around 3,000 years ago, probably didn’t realize that the massive floods sweeping through their heartland were the product of typhoons battering the southern Chinese coast hundreds of kilometers away. The results are like a handwritten warning from the Shang Dynasty about how to prepare for modern climate change.

Airport Chaos and Unpaid Workers While ICE Operations Continue Unchecked
Chaos reigned at airports across the country last weekend, with thousands of travelers reportedly waiting in hours-long security lines thanks to staffing shortages. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and Coast Guard workers have turned to food banks for assistance after weeks without pay. But amid a partial government shutdown aimed at curtailing the Department of Homeland Security’s mass arrests and deportations, federal agents have continued their anti-immigrant crackdown unabated - and for now, there’s not much anyone can do.
