Support in creating, managing, and migrating to Discourse, the premier Open Source Forum software.

Working on updating dashboard.literatecomputing.com to also create PDS instances with just a domain name and Digital Ocean and Mailgun API keys.
I launched www.namemypdf.com

If you are an academic, use a Mac, and hate that your PDFs all have stupid names, check out www.namemypdf.com. Once installed, you can right-click, open-with NameMyPdf and have the files renamed with their author, year, and title (that you can customize).

I need to iron out a few rough edges (like mentioning Discourse instead of PDS), but if you want to have an automated installation of your own PDS server on Digital Ocean with mail delivery through Mailgun, check out dashboard.literatecomputing.com/pub/automate...

The thing I didn't realize at first is that making your handle be domain-based is just a matter of adding a DNS TXT record (which is really easy, even if you don't know what DNS is).

If you're interested in running your own PDS (Personal Data Server) so that your posts live on a server that you control, let me know. I'm considering launching a service to automate installation and setup.

To do it yourself, see alice.bsky.sh/post/3laega7..., for example.
