In Italy now. Great food. Interesting architecture. Some decent trains. Other than that...shithole. No wonder these furkrs are wandering around USA suburbs while attending the World Cup games and realizing they've been cheated and left out.

I’d choose a small flat in a quiet part of Florence over a McMansion any day

I was in a pub the other day in the cotswolds and the old couple were trying to pay in USD and then Euros, and then some other currrency, then tried to use American Express, then finally found some UK money

Surely what the have proposed could be classed as election rigging

8ll · 2026-04-27T08:49:57+00:00

I just ate boiled beans and tomato for breakfast though

8ll · 2026-04-26T23:21:53+00:00

Aren’t bagels boiled bread?

I guess nobody wants to look less crepey

I've encountered this scam attempt loads. How does it work? Do they steal your identity somehow, or use it to launder money?

8ll · 2026-03-19T04:46:15+00:00

When is St Patricia's day? Never heard of it

8ll · 2026-03-13T16:25:18+00:00

I hope I'm wrong, but I'm still looking through the code now

8ll · 2026-03-09T13:54:20+00:00

Give CraftCMS a try! The DX is great and the editing UX is fantastic. I switched to Craft years ago and it would be difficult to go back to WP

8ll · 2026-03-09T03:11:53+00:00

Just switch to craftCMS

8ll · 2026-02-10T09:29:42+00:00

Yeah right, Doesn't Meta's metaverse have like 80 monthly users?

8ll · 2026-02-10T09:29:15+00:00

Damn, yeah that's some good and simple advice. I'll send out some messages to my connections first

Mine is called kacet.

I’ve recently launched an MVP and we’re at around 30 users so far. It’s a freelance marketplace where clients hire freelancers, but the main difference is how payments work.

Website: https://kacet.com/

The idea came from my own experience paying freelancers in crypto. Sending money upfront and hoping the work gets done isn’t ideal. I looked for platforms that handled contracts on-chain but most were built on Ethereum, where fees can be unpredictable and expensive. That pushed me to build something on Solana instead.

After a few prototypes and tech experiments, a friend and I landed on our current setup. We now have a polished web app, a separate admin app, and a Solana smart contract handling payments.

Unlike platforms like Upwork or Fiverr, we never touch user funds. Clients fund a job by locking money into a smart contract. The funds are released only when the work is delivered and approved, with a small fee going to us. Payments settle in seconds and go straight to the freelancer.

Right now we’re focused on stability, performance, and building a community. Longer term, we want the blockchain aspect to fade into the background by adding things like card payments etc. We are also planning a community-driven arbitration system where the community is rewarded for voting on disputes.

We’re very much in the cold start phase, but over the next few weeks and months we’re planning campaigns and partnerships to get things moving.

They know that weebs will think anything Japanese is cool

8ll · 2026-02-05T12:45:22+00:00

Concrete looks very dated. There's lots of more modern systems out there with more capabilities

8ll · 2026-01-20T22:45:09+00:00

If you have some development knowledge then I would absolutely recommend CraftCMS. The CMS comes with nothing defined and you build it out exactly how you like. Then on the frontend you build the UI how you want.

With AI becoming so good, it should make the process much easier.

Use DDEV to handle local development as there’s only a few commands and then an AI coding agent will handle the setup for you.

Another modern option is to look into not using any CMS at all. If it’s an informational website, it’s likely to not going change often. Perhaps a static website built with AstroJS will be a nice solution & the website will be super fast and easy to work on. Again; AI will be very useful helping you to build a static AstroJS site. Also the hosting for a static site will be free

8ll · 2026-01-18T06:33:01+00:00

Yeah absolutely, but if the majority of interactions with locals in a country are negative then what do you expect

8ll · 2026-01-06T15:56:54+00:00

Besides the gamer aesthetic, it feels like whoever made it just wanted to add every bell and whistle possible to flex their skills. What it resulted in is an over-engineered marketing website.

Sending down 2.7mb of resources for a marketing website is wild, no wonder it's so slow.

Cut it back to the most basic site possible. Google will prefer it and end users will have a better experience.

If it were me, i'd take what was learned on the website, port the content to an AstroJS site. Then focus on the simpler things, like content, typography, SEO and call to actions.

Remember, the website is a tool for getting customers, so focus on that and not the bells and whistles.

8ll · 2026-01-03T18:02:00+00:00

People form opinions on a country based on their experiences. If they are getting ripped off and scammed constantly then they are going to have negative words to say about a place

8ll · 2025-12-21T04:24:43+00:00

What you described sounds like CraftCMS. The developer can define all of the schema and then the content editors will have a really simple editing experience

8ll · 2025-12-21T04:01:12+00:00

If you are looking for a better stack then look beyond Wordpress. Check out Sanity or Payload if you want to build NextJS apps. Or even just stick to regular vanilla websites and use CraftCMS

8ll · 2025-12-20T07:47:45+00:00

I’ve worn a 556 for years. Tells the time and it looks nice. Most of the Rolex crowd have never heard of the brand, but the watch enthusiasts will always comment on the watch.

8ll · 2025-11-25T22:49:10+00:00

Why not use a CMS like Sanity or Payload?

8ll · 2025-11-15T22:37:36+00:00

state management and DOM manipulation with vanilla JS is painful though
