This was put together over a long period of time by my paragliding instructor and friend (former engineer for Canada’s space agency - still has a part he designed on the ISS on Canada’s robotic arm):

Loads of useful info and is updated fairly regularly.

Every time I click on a clickbait title and KNOW what’s coming (bullshit is what’s coming), and yet I do it anyway and get the expected result. Shame on me and that should teach me.

Twitter is a shining example of that.

A closed door is a happy door. That’s why when someone knocks, I never answer it.

You are indeed, living a lie. You have spelled whisky like an American.

Good - thought I was the only one who saw little value in following a person on Lemmy.

Nice typo in their propaganda. Couldn’t quite figure out contractions versus ownership.

Anytime I see “unlocking value,” I know that either a bot wrote it, or some MBA that’s selling widgets.

Better stated than mine.

This is why being "a good business leader" (not that I'm saying he was that either, since he failed at selling steaks and alcohol to Americans) does not equate to being able to run a country. It's almost the opposite. You lead a business, your responsibility is to run it as you see fit. You run a country, you have a responsibility to take into account the wants and needs of everyone, even the people you don't agree with.

 

For personal projects, I've favored gandi.net for many years, but I'm trying to get a few candidates together for the organization I work for. Not a fan of GoDaddy, NetworkSolutions, or many of the all-in-one web host / registrar / app hosting / whateverelse sites.

Hoping there are a few modern alternatives out there that I haven't seen yet. We had all of our domains on Google Domains, but since they got bought by Squarespace, I'm surveying our options.
