Since I am bored, lets play around with Linux.

What is everyone's favorite desktop environment?

@jonah what's the deal w/ Privacy Guides? Great design, content sort of forked from PrivacyTools. Just a new project or is it a replacement?

Any resources for how to properly deploy a Jekyll site from GitHub to a VPS server? I would like the site to push live after every Git Push.

For the life of me I cannot figure it out.

I can talk more about this now.

Effective July 1, I am being promoted to Assistant Communication Director of our union.

I am excited to continue fighting for those workers who care for our children, seniors, and people living with disabilities in California.

My latest blog for The Hockey Think Tank on building relationships with both players and their families at the youth hockey level and how this helps manage expectations and unnecessary defuse future drama.

Woah, I just got a massive promotion at work that is really monumental in my professional development.

Trying out Mercury since it seems Mast is dead.

Is the Mast app still being maintained or is it dead? It's not listed on the developer site anymore and no updates for 6 months.

It's unfortunate that DigitalOcean only accepts StartUps for their hosting program that are taking money from VCs.

We should be discouraging that kind of financing, not encouraging it and shutting out ethical businesses.

For the past year, ThinkPrivacy has been hosted by Namecheap as part of their start-up program, but our time in that program is coming to an end.

Anyone have any good, affordable VPS recommendations?

ThinkPrivacy makes no money. We don't sell ads, no affiliate links, etc. So all money comes from my personal finances (we get random donations here and there, but not enough to sustain it).

Any recommendations are appreciated!

I’ve finished the final stage of joining Mastodon and got a cat.

Dude doesn’t follow me but already pulled out the elitist leftist bullshit.

Every time.

Eventually I’d like to write about my political journey from liberalism, to socialism, to more a more communist leaning, then into anarchism. But most recently, struggling with the shortcomings of anarchism that has led me back to communism.

But I have been suffering from writers block and need a break.
