Not quite a “now” page (may end up doing that) but for now just a monthly “Recently” https://www.andrewjvpowell.com/articles/recently-september-twenty-one/

@mckinley@twtxt.net brilliant article, and bonus points for the Terry Davis reference.

not yet unfortunately, I’ve only just begun learning C. i assume that will make a good stepping stone though 😅

@adi@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net livin the dream 👍

@adi@twtxt.net yep that’s fine.

And with my personal site mentioned at the beginning of this thread, one day I’ve been tempted to put it on a self-hosted solar powered mini-server, akin to (https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/). In which case there could be little bits of downtime anyway.

@adi@twtxt.net Yeah it has email and even SMS warning notices when the credit gets under a certain amount, and I think you can even customize the amounts that “trips” the warnings. It’s not a bad system. Just sometimes, admittedly, I’ve been slack to fund the account, even if it’s just a day here and there.
To answer @mckinley@twtxt.net ’s question though, I easily go through at least $5 per month, but then again technically I have at least 3 sites on the one account. If they were sites that had to absolutely be online all the time I’d worry about it more.

Also if my site (https://andrewjvpowell.com/) is ever down, it’s no problem. It’s hosted on nearlyfreespeech.net, which is pay as you go basically, so if it’s down it’s just cos I need to add some credits :P

@adi@twtxt.net I’m not actually sure, I don’t think it ever said which one it was, but as per @prologic@twtxt.net ’s advice I’ll update it to one of my active emails anyway. If it was a bug that certainly explains why no email I tried was working.

@prologic@twtxt.net Thank you! Good to be back :D

@prologic@twtxt.net Yeah, because Goryon was still logged in (oddly enough, it would have usually signed out automatically by now) I was able to use it to change my password haha. Stroke of good fortune there.

thanks for the email too @adi@twtxt.net . I had to dig it out of Spam or I would have seen it days ago.

sorry guys, I’m very much alive. Honestly I forgot my password and also which email I signed up with… tried all the ones I normally use, nada.
Anyway apparently my Goryon was still logged in on my phone so that saved the day. Lol.

i still don’t ‘get’ NFTs 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net very true, and easy for me to forget. I’m Tasmanian and we’ve had it pretty good here, being an island i suppose.

@prologic@twtxt.net yeah i hear ya, and thanks 😊 i guess social media platforms such as this one are fine as long as, ideally, there’s a good amount of actual human interaction, both on the platform and in real life. We are social creatures after all, even if to different degrees.

I’m not gone, I just haven’t been on really any form of social media lately. Not intentionally in the case of twtxt… just I guess I’ve been a bit tuned out of anything online except for the essentials. Kind of an online ‘detox’ lol.

Disingenuous headline. What I saw in his statement looked like an apology to me, as well as an honest self-reflection. What more do people want. The witch-hunt needs to stop, and in general I am sick to death of news headlines being twisted to have a slanted take on a subject before the reader even reads the content.

A Google product shutting down… wow what a shocker LOL

the effects are hilariously bad 😂

@prologic@twtxt.net yep 😂

@adi@twtxt.net I’m just saying that absolutely nobody is perfect, in a general sense. And mobs pushing to put others down or “cancel” them based on something they once online said eons ago is a bad path, though there’s always exceptions. Regarding Stallman though, i dont necessarily disagree with him not being suited to leadership roles simply because he doesnt exactly make a good spokesman or public facing figure, but thats the main reason. Most of this smells of software corporates wanting to get rid of a very outspoken opponent and some SJWs jumping on for the ride. Just my opinion.
