I agree, I only include it as a “woah this WordPress stuff is confusing!” lower barrier to entry.
Try WordPress first. If they’re absolutely stuck, wix is a lot more beginner friendly. But yes, beware of the downsides to having your hand held.
Use WordPress. It’s by far the most used content management platform, so if you’re a beginner, you’ll find the most resources. It’s also free and open source.
Then you can, if you want to make it even easier, use a page builder like Elementor or Divi or something. Or not.
There’s also Wix for very simple page builds.
Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ?
The whole anti Google holier than thou is annoying at these levels.
Ok fine, don’t use Google. But telling your friends and loved ones to switch email providers over your crusade is worse than vegans telling you about their diet.
I’m all for kicking Google to the curb. I’m not for shoving my beliefs down other people’s throats.
Man, I don’t know. I wanna know too.
I got a refurb drive in 2019 that has been clicking and rumbling a little to moderately for 6 years now. Great value at this point, but it’s replacement is gathering dust…
Having 0 documentation doesn’t mean you have no DLP strategy. That’s amateur hour.
And again, NB: this does not scale.
Wearing croakies and boatshoes.
Lmao
I got the ticket stubs to prove theyve been on this timeline since around then, but I have no proof where they were before (after?) that…
Idk why I didn’t put this together sooner but holy shit your joke made an incredible connection for me.
My favorite album of all time is likely
Between The Buried and Me - Colors
(If you’re unfamiliar, and like progressive death metal, go listen to the whole thing). And on that album, theres the song “Sun of Nothing”
Lyrics and song here
It’s… It’s basically about Elon Musk (not actually, but like holy shit). Written in 2008, well before he went to play “spaceman”.
The song is about an egotistical fuck who thinks they’re better than everyone. It’s a modern day Icarus story. Dude wants to distance himself from everyone he sees as boring, mundane. Straps himself to a (metaphorical) rocket thinking it’s cool and is also his ascension to be a deity, and shoots himself ‘toward the sun.’
As he goes through with his plan he realizes everything was better before he played spaceman. Yeah his plans were cool and he saw himself as a god and everyone else as pathetic, but now that he’s a spaceman, he’s the god of nothing. Oops.
"…I’m floating towards the sun…
The sun of nothing…"
That could very well be the best practice. I haven’t had to run docker in windows since then.
I don’t think anyone is a “wsl user” so much as they’ve found themselves in a position where the lowest friction solution is utilizing wsl for a given situation.
Around 2019, even up until like 2022 if you wanted to run docker in windows, that was how to do it.
I operate on the philosophy that it is better for me to relearn things than lean on old documentation that may no longer be accurate/relevant.
The best way to implement a safe connection to my home lab today might not be the safest way tomorrow.
Old dog, new tricks, etc.
Also! Your documentation is an attackers wet dream.
NB: this philosophy doesn’t scale.
Going from 37% to 79% in 10 years is roughly the rate every industrialized nation did it.
I will be impressed if they reach 98% by 2030.
There’s an S curve to these things. The middle moves real fast.
The beginning is hard work and it’s expensive.
Then the infrastructure allows explosion to areas with easy access.
Lastly, diminishing marginal returns to extend the infrastructure to the less easy to access areas.
So what I’m saying is, what they’ve done isn’t really impressive, yet. Other than “In the greater context of ‘Africa’”.
Their goal (100% by 2030), is lofty and if they reach it that’d be crazy and article-worthy.
I’m glad to know Kenya is moving apace, but they are moving exactly that. Apace. Not exceptional. Not yet.
I genuinely don’t know if that’s impressive. A decade is a long time, and Kenya isn’t known for having outstanding infrastructure to start.
At its face it kinda sounds like the expected pace? But I also know nothing about this…
It is ok to admit you are wrong.
Jesus Christ, your obnoxious.
Blocked.
I’m done arguing. Not gonna respond to whatever fedora fanboy nonsense to follow.
Ubuntu holds around 30 percent of the Linux desktop market. Fedora sits around 1 to 2 percent. Ubuntu focuses on Long Term Support stability, massive community documentation, seamless hardware driver support, and minimizing breakage for new users. Fedora deliberately pushes bleeding-edge kernels, experimental libraries, and rapid changes that regularly introduce breakage. Beginners do not need the newest kernel version or experimental features. They need stability, predictability, easy troubleshooting, and access to a massive community when things go wrong. Fedora is excellent for intermediate users who know how to fix their own problems. It is irresponsible to recommend a testing ground distro to someone who is still learning how to use the terminal.
If Fedora were actually a good beginner distro, it would dominate beginner spaces like r/linux4noobs, It does not. Fedora is respected, but it is not designed for beginners. Even Fedora’s own documentation assumes technical competence that a first-time Linux user will not have.
It is objectively not a good distro for beginners. Not even Fedora thinks it’s a good distro for beginners. Your arguments make no sense. I certainly don’t care to hear anymore of them.
Good day.
It is a testing ground for new features. It is literally one of the worst beginner distros. Shit breaks constantly. That is not good for beginners. Just because you like it doesn’t make it good for beginners.
We’re not talking about what distros are good. We are talking about what is good for beginners.
Would absolutely not recommend fedora as a first distro.
Yeah, I don’t recommend settling on it, but I stand by learning on it. It will be the most frictionless. It’ll ease you into resolving hairy problems in a way that is less discouraging, because they’re not quite as hairy.
D’oh.
Yep. My b. WordPress or bust, really. You can mess around with drupal or Joomla, but WordPress will be the lowest barrier to entry for self hosting.
