Announcing: https://justaqrcode.com.

Tired of "free" QR code generators that are full of ads and trackers, that share your data, and that want to sell you something? Me too. Here's my act of resistance: I made a one-page site that works entirely in your browser to generate a simple QR code. And that's all it does. You can download the HTML page and run it locally, even. Read the source; nothing up my sleeves. Just a QR code.

My offer to you -- I will continue to pay for the domain name and web hosting for it, myself. If you find it valuable, you can pay it back by creating your own useful thing for the world and releasing it for free. Let's take back the friendly web, one vexingly-monetized utility at a time!

What would happen if we stopped asking, “How can this grow?” and started asking, “What is this thing’s natural size?” What if we evaluated projects not by their potential for expansion but their depth of impact within their chosen bounds?

Choosing to stay small, focused, and finite can be a radical act. It’s a declaration that some things are valuable precisely because they resist the illogic of endless growth.

If you could describe yourself in one #Linux command, how would you do it?

a) sudo rm -rf /* - Destructive person.

b) grep -r "answer" / - Searching for answers and information about the universe.

c) cat /dev/random - Thinking about being creative with unexpected outputs!

d) man {command} - Always try to explain things when asked.

e) ls -l /dev/null - Nothing of value contributed to society.

f) fortune | cowsay | lolcat - Add random wisdom, but mostly nonsense, to the conversation.
