I'm gen Z too (and a designer) and I agree with everything you've said in this thread. This invokes a retro indieweb DIY type of vibe, not the sharp and clear intention that is behind brutalism.

Really beautiful comment. I agree wholeheartedly with all you said about the last and healthiest option, I've been intentionally doing it too and it's been rewarding, even healing :)

I've been thinking about this a lot the last two years as someone who also grew up with social community online. It was life-changing for me too, but sometimes I catch myself wishing I could have had these experiences offline instead.

I've liked Porkbun and NameSilo, their support staff are really helpful. Porkbun has the better UI.

As a design student, I'm curious about what any designers are doing. (Design as in visual, graphic, or interaction)

I'm quite surprised and honored that my words resonated :) since that post I've been living a more quiet, private, and a bit more happier life.

This comment is kind of hilarious because I felt similar feelings which is why I took down my site!

Just because someone is in need doesn't mean they can't spend some money on soft drinks. This is classist. It's basically "because you're poor you don't deserve chocolate, because you're more likely to be

Protonmail is very expensive for what it is. I don't care about their privacy (it's email) and I don't need anything but an email service that can support 3+ domains.

I'm 3/4 through the book and there's been no mention of his wife nor his rich neighbors in Malibu? What part of the book are you talking about? There was actionable advice in the book... Rick talks lots about ways to get into

That's so exciting! I'll be slowly switching my .ca domains there.

Porkbun is an excellent choice, I love their support! I wish they supported .ca domains (the only reason I'm using NameSilo) but when I asked in the past, they said they have no future plans to.

I've been so nervous about this that I've been preemptively moving my emails over to domains I control (and using Fastmail).

Maybe start looking. Squarespace charges more for domains (there's a comment thread in here about .com being more expensive).

Makes sense! That worries me too. I thought it was a new issue with them. Personally I use Porkbun and NameSilo (cheapest .ca domains) and am very happy with both.

Do they have any friends? Referrals almost always get you hired immediately in retail.

This is a super interesting take I haven't thought about before, maybe it's time for me to find forums related to my niche hobbies.

It's a shame, kind of. I'd love to blog and write under my real name online (just industry or school related things), but I'm terrified of someone using that information to hurt me or the people in my life.
