It's trivial to host yourself, and super light on resources. Personally, I don't use it; for blogging I write markdown and rsync it over to the server where Hugo picks it up and turns it into a blog. Now that I think about it, I should probably go shut my WriteFreely down. I have a few pages on it, but I hate web app interfaces, so I didn't put much content in it.
Interesting. I wouldn't have thought it'd be limited to some nationalities, although maybe there's some truth to it.
I worked with two Turks (both living in the US, but under what circumstances I don't know; I believe one was nationalized, and the other on a work visa) at the same time in 2016; one was radically supportive of Erdoğan, and believed the coup was real; the other thought he was a dictator and that the coup was a false flag meant to allow him emergency powers and a crack-down.
I say "radically" in the first case because she'd get agitated and angry about any criticism of Erdoğan; the second would discuss it as if he were in a debate. I have no doubt his beliefs were just as passionate, but he'd argue his points, not just declare things.
ANYWAY, that's the extent of my experience. I lived in Munich for two years and, as an American, was vaguely aware of the immigration tension, but this just after reunification and the West Germans were still coming to terms with the impacts of that. And my friend circle was urban college students, so I swam in the most liberal of waters.
I love my country; I love its culture, I love its language, I love its ecosystems... I just hate its repressive government?
It's usually either that, or: I love my country, but I can work here in an entry-level job and still send enough money home to support my extended family.
Anon hasn't yet heard a valid reason for this because they've never asked and, honestly, don't want to know because then they couldn't feel superior.
True, good catch.
I'm sure you're right.
Just FYI, despite what media companies would like you to believe, making copies of media you own for your own use is not piracy. It's allowed by law under fair use.
What's disturbing is that there's a market for it. May be what you meant, but the demand side bothers me more than the supply.
Yeah! So the ideal tool would be both a toaster oven -- a small oven -- and have the ability, a setting, to circulate air in the same way an air fryer does, right?
Oh, yeah. It's been a long while since I've lived in that environment. You're probably right that most cheap stand-alone stovetop/oven units don't have a convection setting.
I've considered one if those as well; convection heat does make a difference, though, and that'd be nice to have. It seems to me that convection is the thing that turns a toaster oven into an air fryer.
This is the big thing. So many times we want to heat up some left-overs and that would turn soggy in a microwave, but heating up the oven to reheat a few square inches of food is a vast waste of energy.
These take up a lot of space, though. I think one of those double ovens, where one is only tall enough for one tray, would be ideal. Convection, of course, but I haven't seen a built-in without a convection mode in years.
It depends on how you want to write. If you want to use a web interface, WriteFreely is decent. If you like your text editor, Hugo is fantastic.
