The weirdest part of self-hosting isn't the control, it's the silence.
I logged into my dashboard tonight via the tunnel. No banner ads. No
"suggested content" algorithms designed to doomscroll me. No tracking pixels firing off to a data broker in Utah, lol.
Just my tools, sitting there, waiting.

Probably one of my favourite shots from the trip. I like high contrast in black and white photos. And geometry. And curves if possible.

Came across Tara's series blogs of her Hermit project, where she built a minimal #FreeBSD -base system for her writing. A good reading for bed time.

Sunflower BASIC for uxn is compiled.

I wonder if that is a necessary property of Sunflower BASIC? I would really like to have an interpreted BASIC on uxn.

Uxn is a stack machine, so it should be quite trivial to implement the People's Computer Company Intermediate Language method.

Maybe this is my next big top level software passion project?
