A new (to me) idea is to keep using #wordpress as the #cms but then have #Hugo render the site with the content in Wordpress. Might need a new plugin for this. This would allow editing remotely (and on the phone). Just need to find a way to get Hugo to notice new content, build, then upload the site. Maybe #netlify or #cloudflare could do this. https://mastodon.world/@aristotle/109463253875846332  read more >

Interesting and disappointing to find out that one of the mesh #wifi systems I was looking at doesn't have ethernet backhaul. I would have thought that was standard these days. https://mastodon.world/@aristotle/109463233257032166  read more >

Still working on converting my #wordpress #blog to #hugo or #jekyll . One thing I can’t figure out is “remote” (non-desktop) publishing. Something I like about Wordpress is that I can write a post on my phone or my iPad. Don’t see any easy way to do that with a static site. Still working! https://mastodon.world/@aristotle/109449867510880969  read more >

It seems like #Twitter pro-democracy users are not just fleeing but being driven away, in order to de-platform and fragment this group. Is there a way #mastodon could ever become the same sort of “central” meeting/finding/discussing place? On the surface, this seems difficult because of certain Mastodon design/features, most important the lack of algorithmic discovery. Would it be possible to “train” new users to use hashtags and hashtag-based search until their follow-bases were established? https://mastodon.world/@aristotle/109407501072320718  read more >

Twitter is a central meeting place. Recent changes seem to be aimed at denying a platform/place to pro-democracy thinkers, through bans, harassment, or disgust. What else is there to connect? #Mastodon? Older techs? #Blogs? #RSS? Email #listserv??? https://www.adamsdesk.com/posts/experimenting-jekyll-relatable-posts/ Link  read more >

The point was never to embolden fascists, it was to deplatform and fragment pro-democracy groups by denying Twitter as a central meeting-place. Oddly, we must keep using Twitter for now to stay connected. Meanwhile we need to be saving names for regrouping later on a new place.  read more >

A degree is worth it regardless of leading to direct employment. Helps your life and career in medium and long run. For career, esp short term, prob not. With a couple years experience, you can already get hired somewhere. To me, a degree forms a broad, deep foundation for living and growing. That’s a big deal. It’s the foundation for *every* job. It *alone* needn’t get you a specific job. That’s what work-study, contract work, and internships are for. All those together, that’s a solid education.  read more >
