We pass down the what, but as history is written by the victors the why and the how are lost to the ages. Without why, we never truly understand how. Without how, what is sure to happen without contest.

Unfortunately they think they are, good luck everyone else, we’re already mostly hosed stateside.

Thanks for the reply! Re direct expose: ive got a Cloudflare tunnel so I can keep my firewalls tight, I don’t directly expose anything ever, not since I made a Minecraft server directly exposed in 2018 and within hours had already had over 100 unidentified attempts at connection from who knows where.

I’ll take a look at Ghost, I don’t expect Hugo to be what they’re looking for but I’ll show them anyway.

Right now we’re looming for a place for her to mirror her Substack and start migrating her fans to her platform, rather than drive deeper into the corpoverse regarding sharing her work.

I’ve been looking at selfhosting options for my partner, an author, who wants a blog.

So far I’ve tried Haven, and I’m not sure it’s gonna be a good fit, not having a “guest account” option for non-registered users.

If anyone has a recommendation I’d super appreciate it, ideal not dealing with nginx 😅

Exactly where I am.

I moved to a backwater town in the middle of the desert for a fucking reason, worse comes to worst and I’ve got the benefit of being able to travel in literally any direction and be on res.

I think you may be parsing something wrong, or perhaps you’re ESL and something is translating weird to your native tongue. Idk friendo, it just rolls off the tongue weird and relies on a different interpretation of the phrase for each panel, it’s almost like “anti-wordplay”. You hit the nail on the head, but it’s a bent nail and it’s not gonna drive.

Hey friendo I think you accidentally a word

Detroit style pizza is bomb with some ranch but ffs don’t put it on a legit traditional pizza

I had to explain that “you get what you pay for” to a disgruntled (and later banned from my store) customer years ago.

At the time I was selling eyewear for Red Eyewear Giant (now owned by Blue Eye-care Giant™) and a guy orders the absolute cheapest product for his quite strong prescription. The RX was roughly a -7 on each eye, not huge but definitely significantly thicker than average. The gentleman wanted LARGE eyewear. The man did not want to spend much.

I offered a quote for the ideal product for his vision, which is a 1.7 index lens with scratch resistant non-glare and a hydrophobic coating (well get to why thats important). The man declines and decides he wants the absolute bare minimum, cool, cr-39 plastic lenses, uncoated. No amount of education on the products would change his mind, I chalked it up to a budget thing, explained the downsides of his choice (to absolve myself of liability for the issues I knew he’d have) and allowed the oirchase to go through with confirmation he understood the issues.

Now, what we’ve just done here is gone from a very lightweight, low thermal mass product that repels water, to a HEAVY, High mass product with absolutely no water repellant properties. This is in Houston, TX - a literal swamp, and the Air conditioning capital of the US.

Man enters grocery store, man buys groceries, man leaves grocery store, man’s glasses immediately are coated in a thick fog which is dense enough that evaporation does not occur quickly (or at all honestly with that humidity) and they need to be wiped up.

That man screamed at me about how I ripped him off for over an hour.

Now, I’m not telling this story to say you’re wrong, I think this might be an “exception that proves the rule” situation. But yes, you get what you pay for, and no, it’s not always said by scummy salespeople, sometimes we just want you to have the right product the first time.

I blocked .world because it’s a centrist shit hole that serves to do nothing but piss me off with whiners who don’t do shit about fuck complaining about tankies and fascists as though their no side taking ass even has a fucking seat at the table.

Fuck .world
