"Are there any self-hosted Linktree-like "about page" type things?"

"I'll be going to a conference next month where I'll probably be doing a lot of networking. I'd like to self-host a little about page with links to my Github, Twitter, etc. Does anybody have a recommendation for this?"

I keep thinking of this cursed resistor pride flag I found quite a while ago

Is this where Spirited Away was filmed?

Britain used to have the most polluted beaches in the EU, because UK sewage is led via channels directly into the sea.

Fortunately, UK politicians have now solved the problem… by leaving the EU, so the country does now show up in environmental statistics.

But the problem is now even worse in the UK.

I can't help but thinking this is more a case of fix your own shit. Rather than bitching about mastodon.

Pretty much any website beyond some self hosted personal blog should have no issues with the number of requests being talked about here...

Maybe if someone like @cstross was to be posting the link. That might be legit breaking. But for most mortals. It shouldn't be.

Fix your shit.

This is like a bad supervillain movie where some maniac amasses greater and greater influence until he is ready to take over the world.

Sudo has a "large attack surface" and systemd does not ?

Really ?

"Infra stack: from AWS to on-prem. AWS was becoming too costly, so #Bluesky moved over to dedicated data centers and bare-metal machines."

That's not something you read every day.

A lovely and heartwarming message from Daniel Radcliffe.
#TransRightsAreHumanRights #TheTrevorProject

A rabbi was asked by one of his students “Why did God create atheists?” After a long pause, the rabbi finally responded with a soft but sincere voice. “God created atheists” he said, “to teach us the most important lesson of them all – the lesson of true compassion. You see, when an atheist performs an act of charity, visits someone who is sick, helps someone in need, and cares for the world, he is not doing so because of some religious teaching. He does not believe that God commanded him to perform this act. In fact, he does not believe in God at all, so his actions are based on his sense of morality. Look at the kindness he bestows on others simply because he feels it to be right. When someone reaches out to you for help. You should never say ‘I’ll pray that God will help you.’ Instead, for that moment, you should become an atheist – imagine there is no God who could help, and say ‘I will help you’.”

— Martin Buber, “Tales of the Hasidim”
