@Lemniscate Oh, thanks. I haven't heard of that one to be honest.

@incentive

@incentive I honestly can't answer that since I don't really use anything similar. My best suggestion would be to do a search for "Best Substack Alternatives" and go through the list and see which ones aren't self hosted and then research those.

Maybe others here can suggest what they prefer. I have seen Ghost and Beehiiv mentioned a bit, and of course there's WordPress.

It's mind blowing to see how many people here on the Fediverse alone still use Substack as their platform of choice.

Clearly a home for Nazis, yet so many people simply don't care.

@dhry Thanks! And exactly what you should be doing. Just what we've been taught and know to do. The rest happens for a reason.

It's exactly what I did and it's gotten me where I'm at, or about to be at. They knew when they hired me that I'd do great things and so far, I haven't let them down.

I can get you 40% off. That's the best deal I can do as we get 5 codes for 40% off, and I've used two so far.

@dhry That is awesome and very nicely done! That's how I went into my job as well and what has gotten me to the point of a pretty big promotion already within 3 1/2 months.

That promotion isn't quite official yet but will be in the coming days and then I can speak of it more.

But sounds like you are on a very similar place, but again, not surprising from what I know about you.

@dhry Hopefully you made an impression, which I'm sure you did.

My start time is usually 11:30am, but I'm often up between 3am and 4am every day.

@dhry What time do you normally start the day?

@dhry 6am is a great time to start the day!

@JensHannemann Oh, congrats on the 4-years! I hope that and the two classes go well for you today.

@bethroots Thank you Beth! I hope your day is great as well.

These photos are current as of about 10 minutes ago. Two from the front, two from the back.

@ferrata Definitely doesn't sound like a great end to the day, but at least you figured out what was causing the issue.

Good morning and happy middle of the week to everyone!

Anything fun, interesting or exciting on your agenda for the day today?

Nothing exciting for me that I know of other than just return back to work after 3 days off. We have a team meeting today, and those are always super fun and enjoyable. No other meetings that I'm aware of.

@countablenewt Interesting. Is en and em dashes something you use regularly? I assume you're doing it within code all the time?

@countablenewt LOL Sounds like a fun time right there!

Snowy sunrise here in a very cold Winston Salem, NC this morning.

Good morning and happy Monday! How is everyone doing and how was your weekend?

Weekend here was nice and cold and also very snowy! We got nearly 6-inches of snow, which is the most in the 4 years that we've lived here.

No plans for today, as it's my 2nd of 3 days off this week. We get an extra day off since we didn't get extra time off during the holidays like most other employees.
