       Hi everyone! #introduction time. As many of you, I was disappointed by what the web has become. I even became so unhappy with it that I went in voluntary social media isolation for a long time.Earlier this year, I was feeling nostalgic and started a personal site. A simple way to store my technical notes. Showed some writing and music I made. I really liked working on it. And then I started a (Dutch) blog on @write_as. And then I wanted more. And more. And now I am here.

       @kev Nice overview! And I agree with the most part. However, I think there is a 'problem' missing: phishing.Phishing is not unique to mail, but my feeling is that email is way to accommodating to phishers, with the easy to fake From header and the HTML shenanigans that are possible.

       @sir You had a complaint. A guy that was part of the project responded and acknowledged that things could have been done better. Cool story bro.

       @kev I cheer every time an ad disappears, but couldn't those problems be resolved in code? For instance: reserving the space for the ad in CSS and load it asynchronously?

       @Gina For forever, if you want. I've been doing it for 20+ years without a problem. Currently working as a Go developer. Just make sure you can get some interesting projects on your resume.

       @kev If you already have a functioning VPS somewhere I don't understand why you would ever want to sign up for some free service with terms and conditions and no guarantees. 1. Install nginx with the most basic of configurations2. Clone you git repository on the server.3. White a five line `post-receive` git hook that clones the repo in `/tmp`, runs the command to create a site and copies the result to the webfolder.4. There is no 4. Take a beer, smile and continue with your day.
