That's really nice. Dang. I'm going to take a serious look at caddy. NPM has been working without issues lately, but I'm not looking forward to the next time it breaks on me.
I like NPM, but on a few occasions over the years I've used it it has broken irreparably for no reason. There have been times where I couldn't log in with my credentials, and times when I couldn't generate SSL certs. Over the last year or so it's been really solid but there were a couple times I was ready to chuck NPM out the window.
You're not wrong. Again, my logic for that the crazy person is on the warpath towards other hosting companies. For a time he had cut WPEngine off from wordpress.org, which meant thousands of regular people and business running wordpress couldn't update their plugins or wordpress core because they had no access to the .org registries.
Mullenweg isn't going to do that to his own company. I think Mullenweg is a piece of shit, and I would steer clear of wordpress.com. My previous comment pointing towards .com is dumb.
Mullenweg owns wordpress.com. It's arguably the only safe place to host WordPress since it's his company and while he seems willing to burn all goodwill down to the ground for wordpress open source, hes (probably) not going to burn his own company and cash cow to the ground.
I mean, it's not a great option, and I may be stupid for saying that, but that was my reasoning for saying so.
TBH, I'd just host it myself if I was going to do it.
FWIW, it might be better to avoid wordpress hosting UNLESS you go with hosting from wordpress.com, since there’s kind of an all out war in the wordpress world right now and the fallout to people who just want their websites to work is unknown.
The tl;dr is that Matt Mullenweg, wordpress founder and owner/CEO of Automattic (which is the company that runs wordpress.com), has engaged in a Trumpish crazy war with wordpress hosting engine WPEngine, and in doing so has arbitrarily (in the name of his war) been doing crazy shit with the open source wordpress project.
EDIT: To be clear, I am NOT recommending wordpress.com. My logic in saying what I said above is that Mullenweg is being very hostile towards other hosting companies, specifically WPEngine. For a time he had cut WPEngine off from wordpress.org, which meant thousands of regular people and business running wordpress couldn't update their plugins or wordpress core because they had no access to the .org registries.
It's pretty unlikely that Mullenweg would cut his own for profit wordpress hosting company (wordpress.com) off from wordpress.org (the open source repo for the wordpress software and a vast majority of the plugins). And to be clear, I think Mullenweg is a piece of shit, and if it were me making this decision, I'd rent a vps and host it myself. It's really not that difficult.
Interlude: Equinix Metal née Packet has been sponsoring our heavy-lifting servers doing actual building for the past 5 years. Unfortunately, they are shutting down, meaning we need to move out by the end of April 2025.
I've been using Joplin for years. I self host Joplin server for sync as well. Join does support offline use. Each device has a local copy of the notes and if you're offline you can use the app to access and edit existing notes as well as creating new ones. When you regain a connection the sync will automatically update the notes and those updates will proliferate to any other devices with Joplin
Hello! I will take a look at it, I just haven't had a chance over the last day. Give me a couple days and I will give some feedback. Bear in mind I am not an expert, so I might not have much to offer, but I'll share what I can. :)
No worries. As mentioned, I trust Proton at the moment because they are regularly audited, and as far as I know, the audits have always upheld the claims Proton has for things like no logging, actual e2ee encryption on their emails, etc...
That doesn't mean I like or agree with Yen's comments, but the truth is, there is no ethical consumption in capitalism. I could switch to some other vpn and a different mail server, but it's likely to just be another problematic company with problematic people.
Probably going to make this a weekend project soon.
