Gemini is my go to now when I need a recipe. Pick a recipe site, any recipe site, and its guaranteed to be the most painful experience on mobile, and slightly less painful on a laptop experience you have on the web. Pure fucking trash. And

I suspect 99.5% of blogs like this don't make any appreciable amount of money from ads. Which begs the question, why even do it? If it cheapens your readers experience and you are not making significant money from it, just don't d

Also, if your not using an enterprise edition of gemini where your data is not used for model training, your sensitive data prompts and responses is 100% available to google.

"No ads" is possible. It's a choice really. Too many bloggers also want to make money and think ads are the way to do it. That's certainly their right, but it doesn't have to be that way. Want no ads, start browsing

I don't see his post as an attempt to self-promote as some commenters here have made. To what purpose? He's already known to most adults, already rich beyond anyone could possibly dream to be. And it sounds like from the post that

This 100%. Host on github and use ghpages and Jekyll with either github supported themes or a theme of your choice.

This is great advice. For myself, docking in windy situations can be nerve racking. The old adage is to only dock as fast as your willing to hit the pier, and for me this means slow as hell. I always let guests know exactly what I want them

My frustration with BSD is in the desktop arena when wanting to use a laptop. Want to use modern laptop hardware? Good luck. I get that this use isn't the core that BSD focuses on, but seriously, it's a huge potential market for p

Like almost everyone I've done the blogging thing on blogging platforms, on hosted traditional sites, on github with jekyll, etc. At some point I always get tired of dealing with it, question why I am even posting something, and what

This is one of the reasons I like Jekyll. No PHP, no bullshit. It's fast, pre compiled pages. You can use web fonts if you like, or keep it all local. Speed usually takes a hit with websites when people try to monetize or add fancy

True, but you are not going to be able to use 2m/70cm/1.25 to talk to people over vast distances. While EchoLink doesn't have the same visceral feel that a radio has in your hands, it can be interesting. By connecting those

I'd disagree with you a bit. It's perfectly possible to host a blog for free on Github or other sources (can even use jekyll themes) and just pay the yearly cost for a domain name. A domain name costs $10-20 a year. That's

>0. Do not pursue certifications at all. I somewhat disagree with this statement. While I agree completely that certifications do not equate to ability, education is never a bad thing. For example, many of the SANS GIAC courses are run

That's not what matters. What matters is that the information is correctly documented. Taxes man. They make a difference. Say I make $100 a day before taxes. I get a check that shows they took out $25 for federal, $5 for State, et
