I see the Linkedin logo but don’t know of any such replacement for the ‘social media for employment’ service they offer. If there is now such a service, I would switch in a heartbeat.

25, with your “docker ps” command, on my aging Nuc10 PC. Only using 5GB of its 16GB of RAM.
What, me worry?

- Comment on Building a Quake PC 2 weeks ago:
After I finished restoring the IBM 2168 486 DX2-66MHz (my childhood dream DOOM PC), there was another box that I wanted to check. Released in June 1996, Quake received many updates to ride the triple technological shock-wave of the late 90s. Originally a DOS, software rendered, LAN oriented game, Quake transitioned to Windows with winquake, gained 3D hardware acceleration with vquake/glquake, and got a dedicated deathmatch fork with QuakeWorld (qwcl/qwsv).
This is an era that I completely missed when I was a teenager because I did not have the money to upgrade my PC. On top of that, France only really got access to the Internet many years later, in 1999, when AOL came with its 99 Frcs/monthly unlimited plan. Here is the story of my “Quake PC”, built thirty years later.

Coolio thanks. I am a happy Mullvad VPN user so I will check this out next. It’s good to see it uses the Gecko engine, not chromium under the hood.

- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 2 months ago:
I don’t really understand what I am seeing here, so I have to ask – are these Security issues a concern?
https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/security
I have a server running a few tiny web sites, so I am considering this, but I’m always concerned about the possibility that adding more things to it could make it less secure, versus more. Thanks for any thoughts.

if you’re satisfied with your existing comments function, can you simply enable comments on your ‘contact’ page and hide them from public view?
I was also struggling with DNS issues all day so this is what I am putting in place for now. Yah, good enough is good enough. Thanks for the idea.
