The more I use WordPress, the more I like it. Call it "bloat" as much as you want, but it's really neat to spin up a full fledged ready-to-be-shown website in minutes.

What I dislike about it though is the amount of commercial content in the ecosystem.

Recommendation needed, WordPress

A friend of mine asked me if I could help her with a website for her work as a photographer. I think WordPress is a solid choice, but I have little to none experience with it. I don't just want to set up a cheap template and call it a day. What are some plugins/templates/themes (I don't know what the heck that's called in WordPress) that I can maybe use in the future as well? I'd be willing to pay a few bucks if necessary.

This whole week I'm taking half a day off every day to go hiking. So far it's totally worth it.

The more I read Twitter timeline and trends, the more hate and hatred and rage I found.
Luckily we had @garritfra, @NicolasConstant and @BirdsiteLIVE to follow *here* all the interesting people, and get rid of trash.

Out of all the services I host myself, #miniflux is by far the one I use most often.

@BirdsiteLIVE @garritfra I'm sure something like this already exists, I just haven't found it yet.
I've thrown together a quick index of available BirdsiteLIVE instances here: https://birdsites.wilde.cloud/
I've just added the three of us at the moment because... well.... they're the only ones i know of.
I still have to write a daily checkup of instance saturation and version, but I'm hoping it will help if there's any issues relating to a specific instance people will know who to contact.

👍
