@Cryspeg your AI art is amazing! What AI tool(s) are you using.. MidJourney?

@Cryspeg I just looked, nearly all her books are available for free via the Libby app and my local library. I just downloaded one to my Kindle. I know what I'm doing tomorrow! ;-)

@Cryspeg that's cool - I will check her out. Thank you!

Watching Three Days of the Condor. As old spy movies go, this is one of the best.

@john_b Oh! Was not aware of Hugo, that's very cool and there are a bunch of themes. I built mine with minimal CSS skills and kept it uber-simple. But I like what Hugo can do. Thanks for sharing.

@john_b sneaky... I really like your runtimerror blog/site. Do you self host?

For those that asked about my site migration and solution (see earlier post), I basically moved off SqSp to flat HTML/CSS handwritten site, edited using Visual Studio, uploaded to GitHub repo, hosted/enabled via Netlify. Took a good few mins to setup, but super easy to update and post using VSCode GitHub plugin.

@john_b yes that was on purpose to test the 404 redirect ;-) Great catch though... you really clicked on the dot eh?

Migrated my site/blog of more than 20 years, off SquareSpace and onto a $0 flat html/css solution - and I love it! Just the features I need and complete control. Less is more. If you want to see the end result, check it out here > briangreen.net/

@GeezerWench I do love me some Why Files! Thanks for sharing this one, will check it out.

Here's another old photo (2012 I believe) of my single-person cooking stove.

Solo Stove came from humble beginnings @fuse. I first used them for and in 2012 as small, wood fire single-person stove. Here's an old photo of mine.

New year, less subscriptions. I just cancelled by SquareSpace site subscription (four years) and moved my blog of 19 years to a flat site using Github/Netlify. $0 per month.

@fuse I love it. As you can see from the patina, I've had it for several years. It will burn smokeless so long as you keep the fire fed and burn clean firewood or pellets. It has to be very hot for the wood gasification to occur (aka, no smoke).

@voltronic fantastic, I will check it out. Much appreciated.

And drop whatever notes app you’re using and move to Obsidian! Agree with all else @voltronic did majority of these myself yesterday! Side note - know of any incremental backup tools for Windows better than Robocopy?

As we begin a new year, now would be a great time to:

- Back up your data, with local, off-site, and non-magnetic (optical disc) copies.

- Update firmwares, drivers, and security patches.

- Delete junk files. Bleachbit, FTW!

- Delete unnecessary apps and accounts, especially those that do not respect your privacy.

- Review app permissions.

- Opt out of data broker sites:

- Set up network-wide ad and malware filtering:
