While I've decided that I probably don't need Cloudflare in my life, I still had a draft in the backlog related to the service. If you've been following along over the years, you know this site has had many forms and many hosting providers. Assuming...

I'm late to the party. Better late than never, right? I got a bug up my ass recently, and have started to move away from services in favor of self hosting. This site is back home, being hosted on a VPS with Linode. My code has mostly been moved out o...

We're living in one of the greatest technological times in human history. We've been globally connected for a while now, and our access to information is unparalleled. Artificial intelligence, while far from perfect, has closed the knowledge gap in a...
