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.

You’re telling me no -f’s were given?

Hey friend.

GW2 is a completely different game from the first one. No GvG, no RA, no more incredibly complex builds from combining two classes. I loved GW1 and really wished GW2 was “GW1, but you can jump now.”

Don’t forget Tubular on Android

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

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.

Finally some good news.

That’s a real Karen thing to say.

If you’re adding another repo, it’s not vetted by fdroid.

I also have the 13 AMD, and it’s my favorite laptop

It’s weird, but you need to prefix an exclamation mark to have the links to communities work in lemmy: [email protected]

Otherwise it tries to have you send it an email.

“global South” as in South America?

FWIW Gmail no longer sells your email data to advertisers either. That changed years back.
