   I agree that the initial setup is a bit complex. And at the time of writing, I could not find anything better. But once I set it up, it's quite friction-less and low maintenance so I didn't look further. However, if you have point

   I looked into this recently. But came up with.. nothing that worked me. I think I was looking for something like Migadu[1] for git hosting. Cheap, private and for personal use. The best option is probably to self host. I tried to fish out s

   I remember believing Google+ will win because it was quite nicely done. But I guess it never caught on with the masses to be successful in Google's definition of success (Adsense?). PS: I was thinking that I didn't notice it being

   This! When I got started on Linux way back then, this is what I noticed. I get to learn how things connect and how things work. Yes, things breaking adds to this experience but when you are young, there is a lot of time for things you enjoy

    Thanks for the kicking back some reality in. Some of these risks are hard to adjust for. I guess you've got to muster all the grit and keep walking. Also BTW, you've shown enough but let me wish you more strength for you. All the

    LinkedIn cringe comes from people imagining situations to align with a certain narrative and writing it in a way they think how it'd look like if it came from the heart.

    I came here to say this. I was chuckling thinking that this is how I should write my LinkedIn intro. Also, anyone who loves coming across Workday and friends (enemies) when applying for jobs?
