For me, it was Dune. I can see why people like it, but it just wasn't for me.

I do something vaguely similar with my media endpoint, except I use a server that I rent out from from kimsufi, where I also host my webmention and micropub endpoints. But...does it ever bother you to split your content like this?  I use a static site generator, and one of the nice things about this is that your entire site can be generated from the contents of your local folder.  When part of your content (your photos) live somewhere else (a media server, or a CDN, or whatever), that's no longer the case. This bothers me somewhat, though I don't lose any sleep over it.  I don't really have a good answer for it.

That's probably a good way to think about it.  Or at least about establishing an alternative.

This looks good! But why do you have four identical photos?

This whole thread is awesome. I remember reading someone's fantasy Superman scene somewhere and it involving him on a mountaintop listening to the entire world in danger, in anguish over who to save first.

Aww, no love for @getpelican? I guess it's really only a thing if you already like Python :) It's my blog engine of choice these days though I'm considering switching to @gatsbyjs.

Thank you! The link should work now :-)

I find it confusing in general, not just with WordPress (although WordPress is extra confusing since I think you can have both multiple tags and categories, yeah?)

Definitely not alone. I'm sure everyone had seen this already, but it's too appropos not to share: https://git-man-page-generator.lokaltog.net/

I think I was listening to "Episode 11: Germanic Ancestors"  but I'm not sure how much of it will make sense if you haven't listened to the previous episodes (unless you have a background in this stuff?)

Well, as the title suggests, if you are interested in the history of English and other Indo-European languages, including Farsi, then yes :)

There would be a dramatic bit where some Indo-European suddenly decides to say an "F" instead of a "P" and is henceforth know as "Proto-Germanic-Man".  Or some random sheep herder develops a speech impediment and starts saying "S" instead of "K" and they are henceforth "Satem-man".

It's like, you know how superheroes have catchphrases, and a superhero origin movie will always have a bit where the hero gets to say the catch phrase and that's how you know they're for real now?  We need a movie like that for the origin of German or Sanskrit.

"And here we have the origin of the Germans! Over here we have the very first ancestors of the Celts and the Romans!". I feel like each branch needs a character sheet with all their different powers.

Also, that is supposed to say "salt" :-)

I...guess that means it sounds good? :)

Who's Dana Schwartz I'll bet she's funny I should find out more about her
