good morning fediverse

the worst Mexican restaurant chain name is the fast food chain "Del Taco", which literally means "Of The Taco"

it doesn't even make grammatical sense

"La Cocina" has got to be the laziest name for a Mexican restaurant[1]

real tasty tho :D

[1] "La Cocina" is Spanish for "The Kitchen"

Installing your own web server on a VPS and managing it via a web interface (say, for something like a fediverse node) *should* be absurdly easy. It should be just as easy as buying an "app".

I think my generation really let the next generation down by either rallying around centralized services or gatekeeping around CLI Unix arcana, with no middle ground.

I'm sorry for every time I made fun of phpMyAdmin. I should've been working to make something better instead.

Steve Wilhite, inventor of the GIF image format and notorious for his insistence on its true pronunciation, passed away last week.

His team's contribution to internet culture by including rudimentary animation support cannot be overstated. :)
