Hi friend, this was just meant to be an introduction, as I get started blogging and sharing back some knowledge and lessons I learned along the way. I’ve never written a blog before (or much of anything!), and I’m sorry you didn’t find value in this.

I wasn’t intending to boast, but I can see how it came across. I just meant to say, “companies are trying to tell you that you need ‘XYZ’ to scale,” and at least at the size of business I ran, you didn’t need any fancy tech at all – we could have made do with a dead-simple setup: a single server running Go and SQLite. It’s something I wish I had known when I started.

I’ll take your feedback to heart and try to produce larger, more substantial posts to follow. Thanks for commenting.

Is it too late for, “I use nix btw”? I use it at home and for development.

I planned to focus this blog series on ol’ faithful (Debian), but I could definitely see writing articles on how to use Nix and OpenBSD if people find it helpful.

This breaks my heart.

To be fair, that includes a large popcorn.

Forbidden boba

Texas vibes on this one.

No, you see, it’s fine now because he personally benefits from the hatred.

Wow, that Cybertruck is holding up great! Looks like the flames were limited to the front quarter, and the seats haven’t rusted through the base of the car, yet. That’s better than most!

I stopped reading the Bible after it became woke.

Kagan did not mince words.

10-11pm. I wake up early naturally (no alarms).

Downvoting.

We can surely find a better source than Fox News, which has admitted in court that it knowingly lies to its viewers.

I have the same routine.

Just tried out the nav for bikes across town to see the route it picked. It used the same route that Google Maps did, which is a death trap with 55mph cars, blind hills, and no bike lanes. I see no way to report the issue in the app, either.

(Strava chooses the correct, safe route which uses protected bike lanes the whole way)

“Anything you say or do can and will be used against you in a court of law,”

Used AGAINST you, not FOR you. No attorney has ever said, “I’m so glad my client spoke to the police.”

Never speak to the cops without an attorney.

That’s not fair. We also use it to weigh drugs
