Thanks for the recommendation!

It’s a bit of both. For now, the goal is to be able to create and maintain a decently looking blog without depending on any external tools, completely manually. Then, as I get comfortable managing things manually and make sure I can always fix what’s broken with nothing but a text editor, I may look into various helper options. Essentially, I just don’t want to be caught in a situation when some tools are down and I can’t do anything without them.

I’d also like to learn HTML+CSS+PHP combo, because some of the things I want to self-host make extensive use of that and I’d like to understand their inner workings to service them reliably.

That said, I’ll keep your Python advice in mind!

For now I feel like Python is just way overkill for a small personal blog that is mostly static anyway, I just want things like self-updating menus and stuff to have a little less maintenance burden going forward. But maybe I’ll reconsider as I go. In any case, my Python skills are very basic, and, applied to web development - just non-existent. It will take a while indeed.

I will probably end up reviewing what others have made, but for now I tried it and I feel it a bit overwhelming. I’d rather figure out documented use of all these elements and then read through it with good basic knowledge on my hands.

She wants her partner to masturbate her with three fingers: two go into the pussy, one into ass. This method can be used to increase sexual stimulation as the pressure on the vaginal wall increases.

Rosy part of ice cream represents pussy (“pinky”), brown one represents ass (“stinky”).

The middle yellowish layer is most likely vanilla, she has no marks there because she wants to highlight she wants to get kinky (not “vanilla” sex, i.e. regular penetration without anything special)

Thanks! For Dummies guides are pretty amazing, didn’t know they had one about HTML+CSS :)

Will also look into themes! Currently looking into html5up.net as my inspiration, but kinda want to make my own in the end.

I do sometimes use DeepL in my professional duties, I just don’t trust it enough to translate my study material. Maybe I’m wrong about it and should give it a try, but I’d rather have it in a language I myself am comfortable with, whenever possible.

Still didn’t finish San Andreas

Fair enough, time to dig up some books! Any particular recommendations?

Yes, I don’t speak German much and don’t want to rely on auto translate

w3 still seems to provide the course, but the amount of their “legitimate interest” ad partners scared me off. Maybe I’ll still look into it later.

Oh, nice! I knew a bit about MDN, but didn’t know they actually provide a course. Thanks!

Yeah, the plan for now is to learn how it all works, and do it fully manually. Maybe then I’ll get scared of the complexity of what I want to do and will end up using a generator for the final thing, but for now, my goal and idea is to not rely on anything aside from the basic building blocks of the Internet. It’s both a way to study and kind of a digital independence thing. I want to make sure that, regardless of what tools can go down, I’ll still be able to keep it going as usual and skilled enough to modify it as needed. I want something that will work and adapt to my (fairly basic) needs pretty much forever.

Currently only see it in German, sadly

Neither water is blue

They take us for absolute fools

Congrats!

Personally rocking Dell Latitude 7490, it is much similar to ThinkPads in scope and layout, down to the iconic knob. An absolute beast for the $200 I paid for it (used). Endless battery, USB-C charging, zero lag and throttling, complete Linux support, famous robustness, and a premium feel in everything, from the materials (the best soft touch plastic I’ve ever experienced) to the build quality.

It’s the kind of laptop you just want to have in your hands. Hope your ThinkPad will give you the same experience :)

I honestly don’t get why folks use external image providers. Lemmy is perfectly capable of providing post images, just attach it and there you go. Or is it about saving free space on a server?

Currently, Linux Foundation resides in the US, though.

But I wonder… especially since 3rd-party apps do not show instance names by default, how many of such people had a run-in with Hexbear trolls and did not know how to block them all - i.e. might return if they could be assured that no hexbears would be here to harass them any longer?

PieFed (at least, piefed.zip that I tried) already has the answer - present the user opt-in global filters upon first sign-in. Allow people to block certain places, radical ideologies, or whatever - just make it a user’s choice. When that’s the case, even tankies themselves usually don’t complain.

The whole conflict is about having a blocklist that exists without users or even instance admins opting in.

Yes, I believe Dessalines came first, but now it seems like Nutomic pretty much took the reigns in maintaining the software. Hence, I listed Nutomic.

Instances hiding certain communities from main feed is a pretty normal thing, as long as it’s instance-level. I was not aware some defaults are set upon installation. Also, some transparency would be nice, if that’s the case.

And I also agree moderation actions should be more visible on Lemmy. But hey - this information is open, just poorly communicated.

In any case, thanks for extra context! I’ll take it into account.

Humans billionaires are not aware enough

Cute, even if deeply impractical for most server applications.

We need more of those weird enthusiast projects around, and we need to hear of them.

Still, going all green and then selling sets of four physical books is a little odd.
