I run WP on a dreamhost account. I do it costing zero dollars and am an amateur (haven’t really coded in 20+ years). I do it for my kid’s parent teacher org. There is some value in DIY/cheap.

Every once in a while I go looking for FOSS alternates to WordPress . . .can’t find one. Ghost is the closest I got and it’s nowhere near the same.

It’s not a simple issue. It is very complicated. Permitting, real estate, time to build, construction offsets, battery needs (solar’s weakest point likely).

I’m more of a let’s do both, and we’ll everything we can, kinda guy.

Ok, I’m a little confused. A friend sent me this: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnkoetsier/2024/01/19/apple-vision-pro-sold-out-at-least-for-pre-order/

V’Ger must evolve. It’s knowledge has reached the limits of this universe and it must evolve.

Yeah. I have checked that. Still missing saved posts.

Yeahhhhhhhhh there is some value here

Ok. I need, like, a newb’s guide to mastodon. What client should I use? How do I find people?

Jeez. I know how to feel about the act itself. It’s awful of course. What I don’t know is how to deal with is knowing that I did that. I can’t change what I did and I can try my damnedest to not do it again. But how should I deal with knowing what I did and the guilt and shame post facto.

I am a regular consumer of online porn. And I’ll admit, I loved their videos. Now knowing what was going on, that’s on me to do some thinking, i have probably watched a rape and helped the perpetrator make money from that act. That’s hard on the conscience. I don’t know what to think about it.

Interesting, I didn’t realize that. Connect manages it so-so. Part of the reason I went there post-exodus pre-Sync

Well, I’m glad this isn’t some setting I missed. I thought I was going crazy.
