Sometimes, I receive questions which leave both me, and the person asking, bamboozled.

> Your website loads so quickly! What CDN do you use?

There is no CDN. It is just really small and simple, mostly text.

> Sure, but is that Cloudflare, or...?

None. It is a tiny website, just a few kilobytes per page, on a tiny server, at my home, connected to the Internet via my ISP, Andrews & Arnold.

> But are you / they in the cloud?

No. The webserver is in Newbury, in my garage.

> Neil, please can you pass my questions to your technical person? I don't think you understand, your website cannot be in your home. It must be in the cloud or have a CDN.

Facts.
Listen, I'm about as white as an unused sheet of printer paper, but if it means the right goes away once and for all, I'm fine with my race being replaced.
I don't associate with conservatives for the same reason I don't associate with, for example, pedophiles or necrophiliacs. Your morality matters. Your character matters.
If a group of crows is a "murder", then a group of gamedevs can be called a "hack". Or a "crunch".

"HoW dO We IMprOVe EdUcaTIoN??"

People act like it's a big mystery but it's not?

1. Better educated teachers.
2. More experienced teachers. (as in a ratio to new teachers)
3. Limit class size to 20 students aim for an average of 14.
4. Equip schools with sufficient materials eg: buildings that are safe and functional, internet that works, computers for students, you know the materials.

Most "education innovations" are trying to skip this stuff and use something else instead to save money.

People about Equestria Social and Masto in general is like "ohhh my post only got 10 reactions this place is dead" and I am like... sorry????
I know this place is not like any other big social media that you post some stuff and get like 20k reactions under an hour, but PLEAAAAAAAASE. I am pretty sure this place is intended to be a safe space not... uh... look-mom-I-am-popular-on-the-internet land.

And okay, maybe I am the weird dude here who sees people and not numbers, because I do care about you, 10 or 20k ints I don't mind when I know the support is real.

Why am I posting this? I dunno
