Perkeep is your personal storage system for life.

perkeep.org

Things Perkeep believes:

  • Your data is entirely under your control

  • Open Source

  • Paranoid about privacy, everything private by default

  • No SPOF: don't rely on any single party (including yourself)

  • Your data should be alive in 80 years, especially if you are

While Perkeep can store files like a traditional filesystem (think: “directories”, “files”, “filenames”), it’s specialized in storing higher-level objects, which can represent anything. (photos, likes, tweets, measurements etc)

Hyrum's Law in Golang

abenezer.org/blog/hyrum-law-in-golang

With a sufficient number of users of an API, it does not matter what you promise in the contract: all observable behaviors of your system will be depended on by somebody.

How to Live | Derek Sivers

sive.rs/h

Want to read and reflect somewhere on every chapter one day...
How to remember that i want it?

27 conflicting answers and one weird conclusion. Many books believe they know how you should live. But each book disagrees with the next. In “How to Live”, each chapter believes it knows how you should live. And each chapter disagrees with the next.

So, do you actually want to write?

artemis.sh/2024/06/19/do-you-really-want-to-write.html

Do you actually want to write? Ok. Then write. In a text file on your computer, in a pastebin, on a blogging platform, on neocities, on cohost or mastodon, on a copy-pasted template from github pages, in /var/www, on some forum that nobody’s looked at in 15 years. It really does not matter. Go write.
But, perhaps you don’t really want to write. Do you like tinkering with site generator tools? Then fucking tinker to your heart’s content. You don’t need to have an end goal where you actually put some thinkpiece or technical writeup on the website. Building it can be its own reward.
If you love it, let it consume you. If you hate every moment you spend with it, why are you trying to do it? Real winners quit.

Using a single init.lua or vimrc configuration file for (Neo)Vim file is better than a multi folder/file layout approach.
