   Had to look up what "BDFL" meant. Even if the dude tries to paint the internet with Wordpress's brains, I'm confident I will have time (and the impetus, finally) to find an acceptable alternative for my workflow. I'

   For the rest of my website I also just write raw HTML / CSS, and JS when needed. It's all static content and little toys, so no RSS need. It's nice to keep things simple when you can.

   Thanks for the link :) I do think the blog I linked makes many of the same points I tried to make, so not really spam as it has actual content.

   Again, we're talking about blogging, not business sites or SSR or CMS tooling. Very different needs with very different solutions. I personally don't think it's that much work, and definitely not complicated, to keep my softw

   We're talking about blogging here, not business-critical website infrastructure. If my blog went down I wouldn't lose a sleepless night over it. I'd figure it out later. If I were choosing a CMS or tech stack for a critical p

   I disagree, it's not overkill unless you make it overkill. My update process is: - Click a button to back up - Click a button to update everything - Open my blog to make sure it still looks normal Definitely not onerous. To be fair I d

   This is pretty much how I play GTA V. I have a Self Radio playlist for a specific vibe. Hop in a random car and cruise around the city, get distracted by some event, cause a little mayhem and escape if I'm in the mood, and keep cruisin

   I'm reminded of the chart from this blog post: https://molodtsov.me/2023/02/how-to-start-your-blog-in-2023/ As I fell into the SSG pit I found I mostly wrote about and fooled around with the SSG itself,

    That also sounds super fun. I love it when things get hyper-specific like that. If you ever need a beta reader, let me know. I use a mix of things. For a long time I used vim with some plugins to emulate iA Writer, along with vimwiki for ge

    Thank you so much! I'll put you on a list :) I'm trying things a little differently right now, by plotting/writing, then revising in between the next set. Think spaced repetition for writing. Every story needs some drawer tim

    This is so great. I'm already envisioning all the ways I can put this to use. The only way I could think to improve it is a desktop app, and maybe some fusion with Heynote style features or keyboard shortcuts. This could be so great fo

    Exactly this. I (relatively recently) joined a team with a handful of developers all sort of doing things their own way. No docs, no shared practices, just individuals doing their own thing. After reviewing the code, submitted PRs with fixe

    This is a video game history channel that usually goes a little more in-depth than that. Good production value, a soothing voice, and a nice ride through gaming's yesteryear -- often much better than others in the "genre" on

    And then tacking on to another poster's "Thai test": there are multiple semi-canonical ways to transliterate Thai to English, and I can only imagine the landscape for Thai to other languages. Added to that, times of day can b

    Looks very cool from what I can see. Any plans to have an open / public API? For many associations past a certain size, an integration is going to become an inevitability (syncing member lists between systems is the most common, but al

    It's a very common scam to send a cashier's check for an amount + some extra, where you are expected to cash the check, keep the change, and return the amount. Later, the check will reverse, having been caught as a fraudulent chec

    Maybe interestingly, my experience has been the exact reverse of this. Craigslist is the only place I get legitimate responses to my listings, and Facebook Marketplace is where I get people who try to pull of these scams, or people who want
