Darwin, where are you?! We need you to dole out more awards!

Venture capitalists and shareholders want to make money. Company executives want to give them eternally increasing profit. Simple as that.

If only non-animated content could be rendered using something other than HTML/CSS.

I mean, most web content such as news or blogs are static text plus images. We could use a much simpler format with a really low entry point for more competition.

We can use apps for the complicated and dynamic content. I’m really generalizing but it’s out of frustration from how shitty the web has become and how it’s controlled by so few mega corporations.

A guy in a convertible shaving with an electric razor.

Turning right from the left turn lane when the lights turn green, in front of the cars going straight and right.

I guy undertaking on a sidewalk outside a school, over the speed limit.

Either a nice, small house by the ocean or my kid’s university fees.

You don’t need two terminals. Planes wait at stop lines until they can cross a runway. Some airports have parallel runways that are far enough apart to let two planes safely land at the same time.

So the ceo admitted he screwed up and is quitting without a golden handshake? No? Ok then.

Years ago, on a highway/motorway in England. A mini passed me at speed, and after I turned the next bend in the road, I found said mini upside down on the side of the road.

I get occasional spam messages on LinkedIn from people that paid to spam me. It’s annoying, but not a big deal. I found a new job by keeping track of companies posts on LinkedIn. I tried their free premium option when I was job hunting but it was a waste of time.

Relax?

I can see how decades of working at Microsoft can turn someone into a goose farmer. I’ve been using their products for decades and some days I never want to see their products again.

Cover your yard in red paint, chunks of meat and feathers? You wanted humour, but was that a bit too grim? Sorry…

Put up a gate and a sign saying “$1 Entrance Fee”. If you want to get even sillier, draw a horizontal line about 7ft off the ground on the sign plus the text “Must be at least this tall to enter”.

Spot on. You can’t self host without reading app and system logs.

I’m using https://sftpgo.com/, which uses WebDAV. It’s as basic as can be but I like it because it’s so basic. I can mount drives in windows and Linux and it has a basic webui for file management.

Don’t make anything accessible via the internet if you’re new and starting out. The last thing you want is to accidentally leave a port open, leave an admin page with a default guessable password, or a piece of vulnerable software running and have someone gain access to your local network.
