Xitter has quite the ring to it.

Wouldn’t be the first time.

Hi friend, this was just meant to be an introduction, as I get started blogging and sharing back some knowledge and lessons I learned along the way. I’ve never written a blog before (or much of anything!), and I’m sorry you didn’t find value in this.

I wasn’t intending to boast, but I can see how it came across. I just meant to say, “companies are trying to tell you that you need ‘XYZ’ to scale,” and at least at the size of business I ran, you didn’t need any fancy tech at all – we could have made do with a dead-simple setup: a single server running Go and SQLite. It’s something I wish I had known when I started.

I’ll take your feedback to heart and try to produce larger, more substantial posts to follow. Thanks for commenting.

Is it too late for, “I use nix btw”? I use it at home and for development.

I planned to focus this blog series on ol’ faithful (Debian), but I could definitely see writing articles on how to use Nix and OpenBSD if people find it helpful.

Brave itself is filled with ads. Crypto wallets, BAT, VPNs. I just want a browser.

This breaks my heart.

100%. I also like to leave comments on bug fixes. Generally the more difficult the fix was to find, the longer the comment. On a couple gnarly ones we have multiple paragraphs of explanation for a single line of code.

Sounds like something a Scorpio would say…

Note that this is the “top 10 features” from the survey. So it’s ranked 10 of some larger number, not last place.

I don’t want an AI chatbot in the sidebar, but if it gives Mozilla a new, substantial source of revenue outside the Google search deal, then I’m all for it.

Wow, that Cybertruck is holding up great! Looks like the flames were limited to the front quarter, and the seats haven’t rusted through the base of the car, yet. That’s better than most!

Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Steve Oedekerk is a genius.

Get a used Framework 13. It’s totally repairable and upgradeable over time with excellent build quality.

Since when is Deepfake Musk a bigger scammer than real Musk? The man’s been selling “full self-driving” upgrades to Teslas for years, and they’re no closer to “full self-driving” now than they were at the start. Surely real Musk has scammed far more people.

are calling on [insert link to letter] health insurance companies

Someone needs to proofread these things.

This sounds like an amazing law. In America, property owners need to keep people off their land, since any injury that happens is the land owner’s liability. If someone trespasses, falls into your pool and drowns, you’re fucked!

Ya, that’s a fantastic detail, since Martha was Clark Kent’s Earth-mom.

Beautiful. Looks like a Skyrim mod.
