I have tried so many times to convince non-technical people that they can put together their own website quite easily, but so often they think I'm joking and that it requires a lot of effort. Next time I'll refer the to this site

How does Prisma compare to EdgeDB? Pros and cons? I have limited experiences with DBs and ORMs, but EdgeDB looks very interesting.

I was so exited when I tried out Astro yesterday! Their announcement about taking VC money dampens my exitment considerably. VC money almost always means that there will be a less-then-ideal monetization of the project down the road, someho

Yes, some years ago during a distro jump. Went back to Arch pretty fast, like all the other times I went through a distro-curious phase. Fedora 35 has been the only distro where I have not been crawling back to arch within weeks.

I switched from Arch (btw!) To Fedora last year and it has been an awesome experience. Highly recommended! 10 years of Arch has thought me alot and I have enjoyed i3 and sway, but now I needed an OS that just works. Nice to hear that Frame

I just read a book from 1854 covering a dry agricultural topic. To my suprise, the language was more poetic and rich than most modern prose! It was a delight to read and never felt contrived or difficult to follow. Extending our personal vo

How is IPv6 coverage in the email provider landscape these days? I guess it would be easier to build up a decent IP reputation if it was on a "virgin" IPv6 address used only for this purpose, and not tainted by prior use etc. IPv6

What a great read! I have been playing with DLNA equipment lately and have found that, while extremely niche, is still alive and quite flexible for the few of us who like to curate local copies of our own music. I do sometimes pirate music,

Special interest groups (like MADD) is almost extremist in their single-mindedness, pursuing utopic ideas without any regard for existing laws concerning privacy and personal freedoms. Here in Norway, we have had the same problem with the a

The example with Bill Gates at the bottom is wild! The "teardrop" under one of his eyes makes it slightly gangster, and the smooth face and awkward smile reminds me of a much younger Bill. Fascinating.

Flarum is a built on PHP / Laravel and is easy to host even on shared hosting providers. It looks and behaves much like Discourse, but less resource intensive in my experience.

Mastodon was hard to "sell" to my peers when I tried to explain how it works. Recently I changed my approach by not explaining all the great technical features related to federation, and instead focused on the fact that it is ad-f
