   When executives are making $500k/year, and there are millions in Google money floating around, it's hard to make the case for donations.

   I don't want to watch the video. Who's going to win? Also, hiding "news" in videos nobody wants to watch is annoying.

   It's VERY hard to make money with Google AdSense types of programs. The volume of traffic you need is so high that if you're there, it probably "pays" to sell the ads yourself and keep all the $$$. But that's hella

   This is a great way to go -- bringing self-hosted blogging and social media together.

    For a long, long time, I have blogged without worrying about SEO or Google or even traffic. I write what I want. I don't look at analytics, and for my self-hosted sites, I don't have any analytics to look at. Writing for SEO and t

    My 2000s Blogger sites are all still live. I've ported some of those posts to other sites, but most just live over at Blogger.

    I do have a Hugo blog, and I agree that pretty much all static-site generators are too nerdy for most potential users. WordPress is still around, and I recommend it. It's more "social" than ever in some ways, and the built-in

    Social media in general -- Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, etc. -- have made it easier than a blog to get your thoughts onto the internet, and the extremely social nature of those services and the instant feedback and conversation

    I've done a lot of Fedora upgrades, and only a couple have failed. I have been amazed by how stable Fedora manages to be. I think I had a problem maybe once every couple of releases that needed a fix, and the community is always there

    I had the same thought as you. When I got a new laptop, I left Win 10 on it and got Ubuntu in the WSL. After about 2 years, I went to Debian Stable. The biggest pro about Win 10 is that it handles 1080p resolution so well. Why Linux distros

    A year-old laptop is just getting into the sweet spot for Linux in general and Fedora in particular. The new kernels that keep on coming into the release will help with hardware compatibility. Debian Stable is definitely not so hot on a yea

    I hope you mean Linux from scratch in the generic sense and not http://www.linuxfromscratch.org . Though I suppose it's to each his/her own.

    I have a laptop with an encrypted LVM drive that has a separate /home partition with very little space left for user files. I installed some Flatpaks and got a disk-space warning. I'm not surprised, but Flatpaks install everything

    As a longtime Fedora user, I agree that upgrading every six months is more painful than it needs to be. It's generally a LOT of packages — in the thousands — and takes a VERY long time. The option to upgrade once a year makes this more

    After seeing entire books presented in a hosted Git repo (generally Github), I am really thinking about presenting more writing this way. Things can be in any order, in any number of files. It can be a 5- or 500-page "book"/w

    If you really like Windows and/or MacOS, you will probably be disappointed in the desktops available on Linux and FreeBSD. But the opposite is also true. After years running Xfce and GNOME in Linux, I went back to Windows 10. First I h

    Having a remote git repo monoculture where it has to be Github or nothing is unhealthy for the software ecosystem. Gitlab is a good alternative, but why not have more choices? Anybody who might want to hire you can click a link to a Codeber

    My favorite from Target was eight Contigo travel mugs (bought for holiday gifts) that came in a very large box with no padding. Even though they could have clanked around and gotten very scratched, they were all OK. Sort of a miracle, but i
