I also have a 20+ year old Montauk. I had the cushions replaced a couple of years ago because they don't offer a restuffing service. Not cheap, but should keep me going for another 20 years.

My country does have a good safety net, so I choose to work for a company that shares my core ethics and has a solid work/life balance. I could be earning a lot more but I choose sanity over wealth.

Not sure why this was downvoted, that second paragraph is right on the money.

Same for me with Podcast Addict, which as far as I can tell is a solo developer effort and a great product.

We use Matomo and have been fairly happy with it.

Sure, but why use google analytics? There are better trackers for this kind of thing that don't need cookies and can be self-hosted.

I wrote a curses based cheque processing system in C over a weekend after our old cheque processing server literally went up in smoke. I'm guessing it is long dead and did not become a leader in its field though.

I very strongly disagree, without online interactions I probably would've gone crazy during lockdown. Even now that's all (mostly) over, I still rely on online interaction for communicating with most of my family.

I find my phone even more important using public transport, checking schedules and figuring out which buses and trains I need to get for my destination.

The same is becoming true of Twitter, can't remember the last time I saw an embedded tweet.

I tend to ask ChatGPT first these days, but then follow up with a DDG search because I don't fully trust ChatGPT.

And everything was simpler, you could throw something up on a $10/month shared host. Now you need a full stack of services running in the cloud charged by the minute.

None of those definitions fit the original blog post. It's not satirical or ironic, it's not aggressive, it's not trolling, it's not off-topic, it's not even a "comment". It's not poor quality (imo). It's an opinion piece.

My definition was from urban dictionary btw, the first entry, maybe it sorts differently for different people.

1. (noun) any content on the internet whose humor derives from its surreal nature and/or its lack of clear context. Differs from a meme: whereas a meme's humor comes from its repeatability, a shitpost is funny simply because it isn't a predictable repetition of an existing form. Shitposts can become memes, but memes cannot become shitposts. 2. (verb) to create such a post
