- Comment on Now that Trump is getting real chummy with Putin where does that leave China? 6 days ago:
Devil’s advocate opinion.
After spending a fair bit of time in China, I’ve come to understand one thing. A weaker America is good for China, but, China does not want to lead the world. Sloppy seconds works better from China.
Many years ago, Richard Branson, wrote that in his fight with British Airways, he actually preferred being second. This because nobody is gunning for you. Everyone always guns for gold, but a silver is not a bad thing either but nobody is in the race thinking, golly, I’m going for silver this time.
So, China has no real interest in the liabilities that come with leading the world. It’s a headache that does not benefit them. Own the infrastructure, mine the planet, sell plastic crap, that is fine, but rule the world, problems. Everyone turns to you for solutions or is trying to bring you down. Better to just chill.

- Comment on Do you selfhost your own blog/website? 5 months ago:
I self host a Grav site among other things on a 15 Euro VPS.
Also, I started with Ghost but the fact that they locked up the newsletter side of business to a single provider and were unwilling to rework things at the time made me walk away. Yes, I know you could go code side, and add others, but that was a complicated setup in itself. Grav works perfectly for me.

Been this way for many years. Ads don’t bother me. And if its continuous help, then we roll with it. But someday I may do the thing.

Support his development. I will pay to remove the ads at some point when I am not being lazy. Many people like him because he listens, makes changes, has tremendous support and so on. Not to say that others don’t but that is just how we roll.
