I’ve seen the TV show but don’t know what you mean. If you want to say something then say it

What a joke. Anthropic could just train a few more times on the Bible.

Matthew 22:36-40 (emphasis mine), "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."

Note the "as thyself" part. This part counters people who want to interpret "love" as "romantic love". Unfortunately, Catholic priests and many (fake?) Christians seem to not care about the "as thyself" part.

I avoid docker volumes whenever possible since I find them such a hassle

And also consider moving some of your repos to Forgejo. I’m running it for more than a year now and it is by far my favorite service. Way faster and essential features do not require monthly payment (branch protection for example). It can easily run on a Raspberry Pi 4 1 GB RAM.

Use Docker Compose and put Caddy in front of it for HTTPS. For backups the easy way is to just git pull your repos via cron on some remote systems. Or use syncthing to also move the server configs over. For the runner, 1 GB RPi 4 should be fine for many situations. It can compile and run many Rust/Python tests fine or build static sites. You could also setup an old x86 next to it (this is essentially what GitHub Runners are too: old x86 cpu’s).

Also sad is the fact that “you” is now used for “thee” and “thou” and such. The older variants could distinguish between “you” plural and “you” singular

But isn’t Syncthing already open source Dropbox? Can easily use own hardware too which is very nice.

> Plausible Analytics, with a 8.5GB (clickhouse) database

And this is why I tried Plausible once and never looked back.

To get basic but effective analytics, use GoAccess and point it at the Caddy or Nginx logs. It’s written in C and thus barely uses memory. With a few hundreds visits per day, the logs are currently 10 MB per day. Caddy will automatically truncate if logs go above 100 MB.

> to think that the goal would be to "discourage communism" by a policy that is essentially communistic in nature

War is peace,

Freedom is slavery,

Ignorance is strength

The point, as I see it, being that politicians like to make contradicting statements. Good for sales you could say. It is possible to cut through such lies by using logic, good on you for doing that. Unfortunately, many people take such statements as true and mostly get confused by it.

Yes same with RSS readers being dropped by large companies. Worked too good I guess!

I’ve tried to build that but GitHub doesn’t allow secrets to be stored inside browser so you can’t commit.

I ran git-based blogs for years and have gone back to CMS. The instant preview and the instant publishing really make it a lot more pleasant to work with it. With Git, my read-eval-print loop so to say was a minute which is just too long. Fixing a typo then takes 2 minutes.

> and static sites are cheaper to run (especially in this era of badly coded scrapers flooding the internet)

Is that really such a problem for the average Joe? I'm running multiple blogs via a Rust CMS [1] on the cheapest Hetzner server, and have had no problems with the scrapers or load or anything. Have also gotten to the HN front page without issues talking about that you shouldn't put a site behind Cloudflare since most don't need it [2]. Now of course, for businesses or something who depend on the service to be online, it's different. But I'm talking about regular Joe's blog here.

After reading the first sentences, I knew this was going to come up. I have an ultrawide screen but never watch videos next to my work. It just doesn’t work. When I’m working, I want to be productive. Somehow it’s also really bad for the brain to put things side by side as anyone I know who does this has poor focus

We don’t even need to see scientific evidence to see that we’re probably using too much plastic. Most stores and especially supermarkets are full of plastic. Most clothing contains plastics. It’s just hard to avoid even if you want to.

Time for a personal Forgejo instance? Mine has been running great for more than a year. Faster than GitHub even.
