Xitter has quite the ring to it.

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.

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…

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.

When you’re famous they let you do it.

We can design a system that offers people dignity and care without rampant abuse. Some combination of public transparency, civil rights group monitoring and criminal penalties for failures in the administration.

The horrible treatment of people you’re describing is not inherent to asylums. It is a risk that we need to be conscious of and design systems and safeguards to prevent.

Most homeless people are down on their luck and really need support. Affordable housing, job training and placement programs, food, and medical care can really help these people. I don’t have any problem with this majority of the homeless population.

A small percentage of homeless are insane, whether due to mental health problems/drugs/some combination. These are the people causing problems. They cannot be left to destroy themselves and society around them. We need mandatory care for these people for them to live with dignity. It is not compassionate to throw them on the streets and ignore them. We need asylums for this subset, like we had until Reagan closed them all.

Right of access to public spaces doesn’t mean shitting on the street, smoking crack, starting fires, or stealing dozens of bikes and packages from neighbors.

No, it’s an overwhelming problem. Encampments are huge, unsafe, and monopolize use of public spaces.

He eats too many hamburders to survive another four years.

Sounds like you can follow these publishers on mastodon via their @flipboard domain.

Then they make you use them for DNS. May or may not be a big deal, but the reason it’s at cost is to act as a loss leader to get you exposed to and buying their other products.

“When Elon Musk came to the White House asking me for help on all of his many subsidized projects, whether it’s electric cars that don’t drive long enough, driverless cars that crash, or rocketships to nowhere, without which subsidies he’d be worthless, and telling me how he was a big Trump fan and Republican, I could have said, ‘drop to your knees and beg,’ and he would have done it.” – Donald Trump

Vote! And make Elon worthless.

I want to see ads featuring this “America’s Hitler” quote running 24/7 until the election.
