It's even worse than it appears.

I binged Hacks on HBO in one day. It's that good. #
Andrew Shell has put together a checklist for installing PagePark on Glitch. It's pretty straightforward. Getting PagePark to run on your own server is something that Drummer will be able to connect to for storage. It's really important that people who want complete independence can have it. No silos here. We want to do the same for Digital Ocean and AWS. If you're the kind of person who likes to run their own server, please pitch in, and provide feedback. I did it myself, it takes about ten minutes. And we may be able to make it even simpler, depending on how this experiment goes. Thanks! 💥#
The most realistic idea of what's up with Trump continues to be, imho, the Mea Culpa podcast. Michael Cohen has the best perspective, having been Trump's fixer. He doesn't mind saying what he really thinks. This week's episode is especially good. #
Sustainable web, day 2#
  • I'd like to buy, in advance, 100 years of:#
    • Static HTTP serving from an S3 bucket. #
    • Run a set of Node apps.#
    • Register domains.#
  • When this is real, we can start thinking about the web, realistically, as a for-the-record platform for writing, video, podcasts, etc.#

You know those obnoxious sites that pop up dialogs when they think you're about to leave, asking you to subscribe to their email newsletter? Well that won't do for Scripting News readers who are a discerning lot, very loyal, but that wouldn't last long if I did rude stuff like that. So here I am at the bottom of the page quietly encouraging you to sign up for the nightly email. It's got everything from the previous day on Scripting, plus the contents of the linkblog and who knows what else we'll get in there. People really love it. I wish I had done it sooner. And every email has an unsub link so if you want to get out, you can, easily -- no questions asked, and no follow-ups. Go ahead and do it, you won't be sorry! :-)
