I did this and all is well.

In terms of maintenance it can save you tons of time. For having to reset database server or doing migrations.

In terms of SEO you need to be very careful. WP does a lot of things right like canonical links, sitemaps and what not.

You can have comments on a static blog. I use static comments, I hacked together this solution: https://bsdnerds.org/comments-static-site/ But dynamic are possible with isso, disquz, and others for a few bucks.

Search is possible with some JS fiddling. I have no idea about RSS.

The magic keyword is “Jamstack”. You can do all dynamic parts with JavaScript and APIs

Just pick the generator wisely. I had quite a few annoyances with Hexo but I’m to lazy to convert to something else. Pelican seems quite good and Jekyll and Hugo have everything, but my Ruby and Go skills are rusty.

Overall it can save you many hours of time compared to wordpress. Plus you can use vim (or your favorite editor), plus less attack surface, plus can be decentralized so a lot faster. Google doesnt seem to care to much about speed, but the other benefits are worth it for me

Don’t know, some spam sites show up in my google search like codegrepper. Sticking with queckqueckgo i guess

Sell your own product, just link to it

This is why I dropped disqus and made my own comment system

Saint Peter don’t you call me, cause I can’t go

You are short on cash, Take freelance project. With money in the bank you can think without fear.

Don’t try one idea, try ten. It’s like dating, you don’t have to always win. Market every day, twitter, web

In general, It takes 12 months before you have any noticeable traction. Find customers or people interested every day. Every single day. Build your followers

Reset password. Hope they don’t mail the password again

Many European countries have some kind of “safety net”, so people can be seen as disposable.

First client was scamming you. Send invoices early and regularly. No pay, no work

Yes. Bots do it all the time. GoogleBot, AhrefsBot, etc.

Your server can be compromised. If you are lazy just drop it in a CDN like netlify

Check which JavaScript is loaded. There can be malicious js in a static site

Verify with Google Search Console

Block reddit in your router. Time sink and opportunity cost

You need money to make money. No surprise here.

Even when presented with truth, they will not believe it. Said Nazi propaganda minister. It was true then, it’s true now.

With so much indoctrination by the alternative lueggenpresse, there is no quick fix.

1. Avoid talking about it

2. Pretend to agree and adjust their behavior. Think of them as psychiatric patients

3. Install a firewall. Put a script in the router that drops fake news sites

4. Be busy working or pretend to be busy. Deadlines, cant talk now. Everything will be solved eventually

Fake news is not going away and with the bastardization of media it’s not going to get better. Random schlo mo makes the news now and bots, no qualifications needed.

Lack of critical thinking skills combined with their alternative luegenpresse is a dangerous mix, probably why many states crack down on media.

In the west there’s often claims of “free press”, but why censor only wikileak and not fake news that caused storming of capital hill, riots etc?

Freedom cannot exist without oppression and the media is to free

You buy it. Your energy and time is limited. If it doesn’t exist, you hire a developer. Then you market it like your life depends on it. No success then repeat.

Alternative is save lots of money, quit job and try to stay alive. I like living dangerously :^)

Yes it is more satisfying. Programming C++ like 20 years ago. Not invent another way to solve a solved problem every year (JavaScript)

In Netherlands €70-€90/hr seems to be the general coding rate. Ask more than €50, French lifestyle and taxes are expensive as here. They want expert? Pay.

Why is the web browser outdoors?

My bad, Crux is the parent of Arch. Thought it was a Gentoo derivative

It depends on your hourly rate and availability. Debian is one of the oldest distributions, stable, binary packages. You can install and get to work. If you need latest packages, you can run the testing version (or Kali Linux)

Arch is a Gentoo light experience, from what I understand. I used Gentoo when I was a student, but now have no time to fiddle with operating system compilation for 3 days and use Debian or Debian based.

You can name anything you want, the career is not a protected name. Software directors? Code artists? Byte doctors? Anything’s possible, nobody cares

Linkedin. Create a company page and then bother other people.

To get a free template, put founder in your profile. You get free templates that way

Save as much money as you can. In the first 6 months you won’t see an ROI but you still have bills to pay.

An alternative is use part of your salary to let other people work.

Do consulting project to pay bills while you work on startup

Vim lets you jump through text. Try G for bottom, gg for top, $ for end of line, 5j to jump 5 lines, 0 for start of line, w to jump word, b backwards etc. Once you know the shortcuts it’s very comfy and you can use them in any modern IDE like JetBrains and the terminal. Having one workflow everywhere (term, ssh, IDE) does it for me

They know the Facebook Mafia does, but non of their network is moving to alternatives

Mafia is more ethical

No, PageRank is king. AI isn’t at the level of understanding content yet

From the German perspective there is a country east with loads and loads of nukes and on the west a paper ally

Around 2000 they wanted to become part of Nato, but this all changed with the Iraq war. The Afghanistan, Georgia, Ukraine, Syria wars later followed further dividing the two powers.

Besides states don’t have friends, only threats. Nothing to do with girlfriends, friends or people. Just the nature of states

The amount of dirt thatin the air is surprising. Taking it out of my ionizator weekly. I doubt it’s healthy

Will have to wait 7 months or more because of my age (30s). So I will wait

Genes is less than 50% for intelligence.
