I suspect 99.5% of blogs like this don't make any appreciable amount of money from ads. Which begs the question, why even do it? If it cheapens your readers experience and you are …

Also, if your not using an enterprise edition of gemini where your data is not used for model training, your sensitive data prompts and responses is 100% available to google.

"No ads" is possible. It's a choice really. Too many bloggers also want to make money and think ads are the way to do it. That's certainly their right, but it doesn't have to be th…

I don't see his post as an attempt to self-promote as some commenters here have made. To what purpose? He's already known to most adults, already rich beyond anyone could possibly …

This 100%. Host on github and use ghpages and Jekyll with either github supported themes or a theme of your choice.

This is great advice. For myself, docking in windy situations can be nerve racking. The old adage is to only dock as fast as your willing to hit the pier, and for me this means slo…

>>People want Reddit, people want FB and Insta. I think in OP's case his issue was that his content required funding to keep up to date and his user base couldn't support those cos…

It's easy to eat a balanced diet that without starches. A steak with a double portion of vegetables and a side salad will still get you some carbs and sugars naturally. Keto/Paleo …

My frustration with BSD is in the desktop arena when wanting to use a laptop. Want to use modern laptop hardware? Good luck. I get that this use isn't the core that BSD focuses on,…

Like almost everyone I've done the blogging thing on blogging platforms, on hosted traditional sites, on github with jekyll, etc. At some point I always get tired of dealing with i…

If you ever get to fly first class (I have only twice), the entire flight experience is starkly different. I am 6'4", even with an economy plus upgrade the experience is horrible. …

This is one of the reasons I like Jekyll. No PHP, no bullshit. It's fast, pre compiled pages. You can use web fonts if you like, or keep it all local. Speed usually takes a hit wit…

True, but you are not going to be able to use 2m/70cm/1.25 to talk to people over vast distances. While EchoLink doesn't have the same visceral feel that a radio has in your hands,…

uBitx ( http://www.hfsignals.com/index.php/ubitx/ ) is I think $110 for a kit of the guts. People seem to be really enjoying building them. QRP Labs has a bunch of cool projects ( …

Would like to be a back country forest ranger. Someone who does work out in the remote woods. Not one of the rangers that has to deep with the public. The problem like most of us h…

>0. Do not pursue certifications at all. I somewhat disagree with this statement. While I agree completely that certifications do not equate to ability, education is never a bad th…
