@npub1y3m…r6lg I believe it’s pronounced “squarsh”

@npub1vfq…57sa full disclosure: that’s how I found you. You were asking about Wordpress and mentioned 11ty.

@npub1vfq…57sa thanks! You seemed like a decent enough person, which is why I felt comfortable reaching out to you in the first place! I appreciate the offer, and I may take you up on it if I hit more snags!

@npub1vfq…57sa ah. I see. I’m learning all this from scratch, but am determined to do it on NFSN if possible. 🤪
I may be a glutton for punishment.

@npub1vfq…57sa Stumbled across your website while trying to figure out #11ty on #NearlyFreeSpeech hosting. Am I correct in my understanding that I can't build/deploy *on* NFS, but would need to use it *only* as a host of the static files?

How early can you mow your lawn without being rude? I feel there’s a fine line between me being an asshole, and my neighbors just wanting to sleep in on Saturday. #yardwork

When did #GenZ get old? I don’t like this.

Only my #dog would tear his CCL (dog version of ACL) casually walking up 4 steps into the house.

My latest hobby/obsession: #PersonalFinance.
Unfortunately, doesn’t seem to be much of a presence here in the fediverse.

@npub1m4u…7sa6 Welcome back!

I'm curious, is basic #FinancialLiteracy taught in school? #Budgeting, #Taxes, etc.?
I recall in middle school (back in the early 90s being taught how to balance a checkbook.

Anybody else on #TheHill in #stl lose water? #stlwx

Just pulled a tick out from between my toes. That’s concerning.

Happy new #QueensOfTheStoneAge album day to all who celebrate.

@npub19q0…3w0f @npub1psd…9sr7 discriminatory or not, that’s just a weird practice.

#[0] I think you need to pair that with a drastic reduction of meta posts about mastodon’s success.

My 2023 Replay from #[0]. My top songs so far this year.
