I wonder what the level of difficulty getting this to run as a cloud image (e.g. on Vultr or Digitalocean) would be. Or getting it to boot a GUI and run firefox.

sticker shock / looking at alternative vendors

it's a weird effect: imagine a beach, with icecream vendors. You'd think it would be optimal for two vendors to each split it half north, half south. However, in wanting to steal some of the other vendors' customers, you end

personally, the golang highlighting is nice. - dark blue: keywords (var, nil) - light blue: variables (defines the scope you're looking at) - blue-green: types (bool, string, your custom thing, the kind of the variables) - dark green:
