Self-portrait / Rolleiflex 2.8D STATUS: Getting rid of something every day feels really good TODO: Decide about moving the external drives back to Linux READING: "Platform Decay" by Martha Wells (Murderbot!) LISTENING: Everything by Zeal and Ardor I had a todo on my list for canceling my MagicPages subscription, so I went to do that. Seeing the Ghost version of this site running my custom theme gave me second thoughts. Remember how easy posting was with Ghost? Remember the comments, newsletters, and ActivityPub features? I caught myself before becoming too enamored with the idea, and canceled. If you use Ghost, MagicPages is a great service for hosting. My writing isn't very good. I know that. It's probably because I don't worry much about how good it is. I just write, you know? One thing, though, is that I'm kind of proud that not a single word is generated using an LLM. What would be the point of doing that? ✍️ Reply by email
