If you are looking for true low maintenance, avoid needing a DB. So I’d stay away from the WordPress suggestions. Not to mention keeping WordPress CVE free is often a full time job and the opposite of low maintenance.

I’d use one of the many tools out there that takes Markdown and coverts it to HTML, stick that in a basic CI job on Gitlab or Github to build out my HTML and I just write markdown.

Once that’s in place how I would decide if I wanted a custom domain.

If I don’t need a custom domain, then I can just augment the pipeline to publish to Gitlab/Github pages.

If I want a custom domain then it depends on budget and expected traffic, but I’d likely just put it on an ECS container or in an S3 bucket and shove cloudfront in front of it, because if it’s small enough it will likely qualify for free tier AWS. If it’s too big for free tier then I’d stick with a container but likely either put it on a cheap cloud node with Apache and letsencrypt and one of the smaller providers like Linode/DO/Vultr

Yeah fair, I think of them as simple… Guess I’ve been in the trenches too long 😂

Campbell River resident here, the bear situation here is getting bad. City has a bylaw that explicitly permits people to put their garbage out the day before garbage day, directly contradicting the federal laws about securing bear attractants.

Add to that the complete lack of bylaw enforcement around securing bear attractants and the number of habituated bears in the area is super high. There are at least 4 animals likely needing to be destroyed this year in Campbell River alone there are more if you include the other cities in the area.

Current council is more concerned with persecution of the homeless and any business that treats them like humans. All bylaw enforcement seems to be 100% focused on that.

I enjoy them all, but I definitely can’t put the use of a “cold fusion” bomb to freeze a volcano out of my mind.

That’s… Not how any of this works. In trek or out.

If you’re looking for things to avoid because it can cause gastric problems, you’re looking for foods that should not be combined.

And yes carbs and animal protein are top of the list (and also one of the most common digestive mistakes people make)

stylecraze.com/…/dangerous-food-combinations-to-a…

From the article:

When you eat a combination of carbohydrate or starch and lean protein (such as meat with potatoes or bread) they counteract each other: the animal protein putrefiesi and the carbohydrate (complex carb or simple carb) ferments. This bad combination leads to gas, bloating and flatulencei (1). Those who have eaten this combination in their diet for years may have developed immunity, but it is better to eat complementary combinations like beans and rice which is a good combination.

Home Assistant. Offline smart home automation you can control.

Home doesn’t have to be 100% dumb in 2023. But you have to do a little work for it.

Bonus: your smart home will be more capable and interconnected than any of the commercial smart home options because they are all busy trying to control the entire ecosystem and sue each other. (maybe Matter changes that but I’m not holding my breath)

You can use Sonos speakers or any generic smart speaker that is not bound to a brand (like Google /Alexa)

Pro tip, Ikea smart speakers are rebranded Sonos at lower prices, and come hidden in all kinds of furniture forms.

However you don’t need to wholesale jump to HA and lose voice. For $8 CAD I got the Nabu-casa HA cloud assistant and SSL proxy (portal to your home HA without need to punch holes in firewalls) and their cloud assistant integrates with Google or Alexa.

So you can tie everything together and then move things over to the HA ecosystem as you have time, eventually cutting the Google/Amazon limbs off.

I don’t want to use edge, but I do have to admit between Chrome and Edge, Edge has become the less evil. It respects the search and ad tracking opt out settings on your account, and doesn’t disable or cripple ad blockers. The “strict” account wide setting on Edge is so strict that sites will pop up asking you disable ad blockers even if you don’t have one.

This VS the current state of Chrome which undermines ad blocking, and forces you to opt out of ad tracking on every install of Chrome across all devices… Oh… But they’re going to enable ip masquing now… Because they don’t need your ip with all the identifiers they are injecting into your browser.

I hate MS… But the don’t be evil company has done a 180 in a rapid fashion over the last couple of years and sadly… MS is now the lesser of two evils.

100%, it was a surprising and depressing realization when the recent updates forced me to take a good look at both ecosystems from the privacy, control and settings standpoints.
