  • Apologies for the laziness here, but I self-host a WordPress site with a bunch of old blog posts that are now private. I’m not ready to make it an offline archive yet (maybe I’ll restart blogging one day), but I’m not interested in supporting or otherwise using WordPress any more. I don’t have any major requirements or plugin dependencies.

    What is a good alternative to self-hosting WordPress these days?

    Edit: thanks for the suggestions so far. One key requirement is the ease of importing hundreds of WordPress posts from its output format. I don’t really want to manually process them all, I did that to get them into WordPress way back when I switched to it.





  • I don’t think making the end of a cable smaller is an important thing any more. We’re not dealing with SCART or serial cables any more. USB C is definitely small enough. Micro and mini were small enough too.

    The complaint about the cables seems fine when the company the post is about profited from those cables. Design flaws boosted their sales.

    As for the regular USB cables eventually fraying, sure, all things have wear and tear, but some things are designed to fail faster for profits.

    Audio latency with Bluetooth screws up things like music lessons in Duolingo.

    A few weeks ago I was gardening with Pixel Buds on and one dropped into a pile of leaves. I spent ten minutes looking for the thing. Then the other day the same one dropped into the garbage disposal while I was doing the dishes.

    I don’t mind the cheap Bluetooth headphones I have that wrap around my ear slightly. I can run in those without them dropping out.

    When I want audio quality I use some over-ear Bose headphones.

    I have no idea how people are ok with just the little buds for all use-cases.
