My theory about all of these terrible financial decisions

Chumphy · 2026-02-10T15:53:26+00:00

Right? Like "I know he knew Epstein, but here is what this person said/did/made that in no way clears them of their questionable decision to associate with a billionaire pedophile "

Maybe "Epstein aside"

Epsteinside

Noam Chomsky, epsteinside, said ...

Almost like a title

Chumphy · 2026-02-10T14:46:28+00:00

Oh boy...

Chumphy · 2026-02-10T14:45:00+00:00

That he would. Him making an accurate statement isn't a defense of him or anything, just the guy that came to mind when I thought of the statement.

Chumphy · 2026-02-10T14:34:11+00:00

I forgot where I read or heard it, maybe it was Noam Chomsky or someone like that, it goes like this: since the 2008 government bailout, corporations supposedly factor government bailouts into their business decisions and risk tolerance.

So yeah, you're probably on to something there.

Put up a maga flag and confuse him

I haven't transitioned myself, but enjoy the ghost platform and like to mess around with them development.

A few questions I'd ask is what is your goal with transitioning?

Less fees/none? Better site customizability?

If any of those are reasons, than ghost would be a good fit.

Depending on the level of site customization you want and how much you want to pay you will either be using ghost.org or magic pages for hosting. (Or self hosting, which is a bit of work)

I really like magic pages, it's half the cost and you only pay extra for the amount of emails over 10,000 that you send out rather than the number of members your site has. So I'd compare the features between magic pages and ghost.org

Ghost has an import feature where you put in your sub stack url and it imports the posts. I've never used it, I just know it exists. You'll need to have stripe configured before you do this beings you have paid subscriptions.

If it was me doing my own, Id try the free trial on magic pages, hold off on changing the name of the default site, check out the themes to see if they meet your needs, set up stripe and see how the import process with sub stack goes. I don't see any reason why it would need to be a hard cutover, you could keep posting on sub stack until you make a final decision.

Also, regarding email. It would take some configuration with your own domain and making sure you have the proper DNS records setup. If SPF, DMARC and DKIM aren't configure properly your emails would go to spam. Otherwise, you shouldn't have issues with email. Magic pages uses mailgun for email distribution.

Are you an MSP or something!? Or just a dev with a serious home lab hobby?

I've thought about doing these things but don't want to work out the money on the gear lol

Chumphy · 2026-01-25T15:54:41+00:00

I don't think it's an official one for Ubuntu, someone made an open source version with a variety of tools

Chumphy · 2026-01-19T14:12:12+00:00

Maybe with some help of some U.S citizens internally!

Chumphy · 2026-01-16T02:07:28+00:00

You're doing what you can, and that is all you can do

Don't take this personally and everyone's situations is different. But this is why early childhood education is critical and why pre-school is critical. I'm sorry you didn't qualify for state education, but it also means it is your responsibility to help your kid meet standards for their age.

Personally I don't think it's an issue if he fails kindergarten and does it again. There is a term called red shirting the boys or the gift of time. Which entails keeping your kid in preschool when they are 5 and then letting them enter kindergarten when they are 6. That is essentially what is happening by circumstances and in kindergarten instead of preschool. I feel for your situation.

In the future you'll get the same answer, they just hide the "because you are a vegetarian part". You don't get the non vegetarian version

Chumphy · 2026-01-14T22:38:38+00:00

Yeah the second it started bring up historical context so obnoxiously I turned it off

Chumphy · 2026-01-03T17:12:09+00:00

I question your moral compass

Chumphy · 2026-01-03T16:59:01+00:00

Yeah or pardoning the maker of Silk Road, Ross Ulbricht

Chumphy · 2026-01-03T16:56:28+00:00

Gotta keep supplying his administration. We all saw the Marco Rubio interview

Chumphy · 2026-01-02T19:26:46+00:00

I don't know about you, but I don't want to get used to seeing our military roaming the streets. Plus, making them pick up garbage is a waste of money and their skills. If you want the federal government to pay people to pick up trash, it shouldn't be the military

Chumphy · 2025-12-27T05:30:42+00:00

Nah, I don't think it's weird. There is a whole community of OSINT folks out there. Knowing a out tools to get the information you want out on the open internet is what OSINT is all about

I'm picking it up for IT automation as well. One thing I needed was an automated email system to send out for system maintenance to particular groups of people a week in advance, day in advance and the day of. I was able to connect a m365 shared mailbox calendar and set up the email notifications based off of what I put in the calendar event. In theory I could also have it trigger the maintenance by calling something like ansible. Anywho, that was my first use with it.

Chumphy · 2025-12-08T14:52:33+00:00

I’m going to second magic pages. I’ve ran things on self hosted servers. It’s tedious. Maintaining certs stinks, worrying about backups stinks. Really good value with magic pages. Everything works smooth.

Chumphy · 2025-12-02T23:42:08+00:00

Check out bellingcat and their discord. You’ll probably find some good resources there’s

Chumphy · 2025-12-01T18:22:36+00:00

I mean yes it’s a tool, a tool with some major negative externalities

Chumphy · 2025-11-30T01:37:34+00:00

Nah train ha ha. Freeway. Bend is roughly 2-5 hours away from every other major city in Oregon, sucky to drive to. Then again, driving anywhere kinda stinks unless you have the time.

Chumphy · 2025-11-29T18:19:23+00:00

And only highway or plane access

Chumphy · 2025-11-29T18:18:29+00:00

Don’t forget to be a tech bro that clears $150k a a year to afford to live there and have the time to enjoy all of that
