I'm currently using write.as. It's a pretty bare-bones setup when in single user mode and doesn't give the kind of list view you might expect for readers - it loads everything onto a single page. I'm considering maybe using Ghost, which is another big name in the federated blogging space. Write.as doesn't come with comments by default, but I was able to add cactus-comments, but it was a huge PITA because it requires a matrix server.

I do, however, like the minimalist UI aspect of it. You can take a look at mine here. I was also able to get around the list thing by using pinned posts, which stay at the top, so I made an about, a directory, and subscribe pages.

Write.as will post to mastodon under an account that it creates and I have myself on mastodon as a verified owner of the blog site.

I don't really know what town or how good the public transit is, but interns don't really make anything. Advocating for a transit allowance or something that could cover public transit and could be used to help with parking could be good. If they live in town, going over biking or transit options with them could also be good, and maybe also "park and ride" options as well. But yeah, $18 daily when you're an intern isn't easy.

Becky Chambers wrote 4 books that did a really good job of exploring different species getting by with their differences not just in culture, but also in things like how they speak (one species has 5 vocal chords, so you literally cannot speak their language) or 'how does publich transit account for different butt shapes?'

But on to your question on pet peeves:

  • throwing science-y words out there that make no sense is probably my biggest.
  • deus ex-machina - getting saved at the knick of time by something showing up without warning, but that's just bad writing. I actually like how the Orville series removed transporters as a tech. It's actually a bad plot device.
  • but yeah, like you said, things that are obvious but are removed from the show, like cameras

I actually really like the easy access subbed list

I posted an edit to the post on how I i solved it. Your feedback was helpful in the solution!

I think so. One issue i ran in to is that trying to go anywhere would land on the ui page. If I put npm on ports 80/443, then the UI needs to be elsewhere so I can access it. It shouldn't be too hard, I hope

I haven't had much luck either. There are a few travel and nomading communities. Most nomads communicate in various chat and colive groups.

Hmm, i may have to get my admin ui's off of ports 80/443 and port forward with NPM on those ports instead. The reason I was using nginx on the router was so the server could keep the UI on the normal ports and Nginx elsewhere.

I think then I could remove the router Nginx entries and add the DNS rewrite
