Can someone explain why not just use Wordpress? I don’t fully get the idea of SSGs.


Wordpress is fine for what it is, but it's also an upgrade treadmill. You can kind of bypass that by letting the php process running wordpress have access to write to the code directory so wordpress can upgrade itself, but then your php process has access to write to the code directory.

A blog is mostly a static site that changes occasionally, a static site genetator is a much better fit. Caveat: comments, but personally, I don't want to moderate, and the WordPress site I administerred for work didn't want comments either (but even with them disabled, somehow new comments and trackbacks got into the database). When I finally got approval to turn our blog into a mostly static site, it was joyous, and the server(s) stopped burning cpu like nobody's business to serve the same handful of pages. We used PHP to manage serving translated blog entries, but it's not that much slower than a fully static file when your PHP logic is dead simple and short.


SSGs are a lot cheaper and easier to serve.


This would work on niche segments and not for the masses. Look up YouTube subscribers to Pateon ratio.


Trying to vibe code a tool that provides a better navigation of github releases for monorepos. I wanted to use this project to as a way to experiment with ai coding agents (Junie), sveltekit, GraphQL, and Cloudflare workers.


Can you elaborate?


Kiwi Farms. This is about Kiwi Farms. Someone's a bit assmad that the internet increasingly filters hate.


I think you are projecting, they never mentioned KF. Cloudflare filters much more than just KF, try accessing any CF backed website from Tor. I guess you don't seem to care as long as it also filters the stuff you disagree with, though, so net neutrality is already out of the question for you lol.


Even then, I don't see what the problem is. Cloudflare simply refused to continue serving KiwiFarms as a customer, no? KF can still host elsewhere. And why should CF have the obligation to provide DDoS protection to everybody?


You, too, will be assmad when the cultural zeitgeist decides that what you think is tolerance/jest becomes hate at some point.


There is no confusing the targeted harassment of trans people undertaken by Kiwi Farms with tolerance or jest.

At least one brilliant, talented person has died because of Kiwi Farms.


Not true. What Kiwi Farms has done though is help expose grooming of teenagers. Some of these people like to believe they're untouchable and their misdeeds can be hidden. They're not.


Yeah but service providers can require than you upload a specific file at a specific location. This way, point your dns all you want.

Tysons Corner, VA and Reston, VA are good examples of how things should be. Mixed use development with retail, commercial, residential, public transportation, and plenty of parking.


It might be useful for auto completion when you’re using versions older than 3.8 and can’t use TypedDict.


Auto completion? So saving a fraction of a second? Again... not sure I see the benefit here.


You do know that code completion is a selling feature for IDEs, right?


Fraction of a second?

Maybe if you remember all the keys in your dictionary in your head. Otherwise you would have to look them up while coding if you don't have auto completion.


You know what .. I’ll need to give it a try before I can actually discuss it further. I don’t want my ignorance to cloud other people’s judgement.


How would liveliness be faked?


A common attack is a thin fake fingerprint you put on your actual (alive) finger.


I lot of people mentioned Namecheap for domains. They’re great. I’ve been using them for over 6 years now. However, I wouldn’t recommend them over CloudFlare Registrar anymore.
