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.

100%. I also like to leave comments on bug fixes. Generally the more difficult the fix was to find, the longer the comment. On a couple gnarly ones we have multiple paragraphs of explanation for a single line of code.

Sounds like something a Scorpio would say…

Hey friend.

GW2 is a completely different game from the first one. No GvG, no RA, no more incredibly complex builds from combining two classes. I loved GW1 and really wished GW2 was “GW1, but you can jump now.”

Since when is Deepfake Musk a bigger scammer than real Musk? The man’s been selling “full self-driving” upgrades to Teslas for years, and they’re no closer to “full self-driving” now than they were at the start. Surely real Musk has scammed far more people.

Seriously, buy a bidet.

Then they make you use them for DNS. May or may not be a big deal, but the reason it’s at cost is to act as a loss leader to get you exposed to and buying their other products.

Finally some good news.

Warning, do NOT connect Vizio to the internet. They were busted for sending images of all content you watched to their servers, so they could profile you and sell that data. Who knows what else they’ll get up to in a secret update down the road.

That’s a real Karen thing to say.

Then you can upload it. Be the change you wish to see in the world.

“global South” as in South America?

No, Machiavelli sincerely argued for this kind of extreme pragmatism–do whatever’s necessary to get what you want. It was wasn’t satire. It’s pretty obvious why he didn’t get the job as advisor, though.

The Prince was certainly not satire. He wrote it to Lorenzo de Medici with the intention of being hired as his advisor. The entire book is specific instructions of how to rule for this very purpose. Of course he wasn’t hired, since the book boils down to “be as duplicitous as you can be to get what you want.”
