I have a repo of static HTML pages with my personal documentation (I develop firmware). When started it some years ago, I almost chose WordPress, since I know it from running a small store. I didn't wanted the hassle of a DB, theming,

Well, I have a clock in the wall in front of me that permanently displays the time. I check the time several times a day, for example to check how much time left I have to do something before lunch or going home, or a having a meeting. I do

Thank you for the explanation. I wasn't so wrong after all. Perhaps it was the wording that made me think that way... "To influence" . I would rather prefer as you wrote; to collaborate or to contribute . Time will tell..

Sorry, I thought I read somewhere that a foundation might be started eventually. Edit: here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22008887 but I think it's not official.

I love how an article about knitting gets related so quickly to other domains (by reading the comments). I had to search on that blog to understand that it wasn't related to a technical domain. However, from the title I thought it was

Light is light, I know. But reading from e-ink is not as comfortable as reading from an LCD whatever the brightness setting is. There are many reasons, like refresh frequency, angle, etc. I'm sorry I don't have time now, but you c

I hope I am wrong (or better, I hope what I read is wrong) so I can use Firefox with uBlock on my iPhone (I use Firefox on desktop). AFAIK, you cannot install uBlock (or any add-on) on Firefox for iOS.
