A very important thing for you to know about Icelandic is that the word "rassgat" (butthole) is used as an endearment about cute things. So if you say someone is "algjört rassgat" (a total butthole) it means they are VERY cute. If the cuteness is overwhelming we say "rúsínurassgat" (raisin asshole).

OMG this is so sorely needed! When I run ScoutHack to teach 11+ year-old scouts to make basic websites, the *biggest* struggle is dealing with the primary schoolers' lack of mouse dexterity and keyboard familiarity!

I will reiterate that if you are an independent journo/hobbyist I will happily set up your ghost install and host it for a few quid above cost price.
You set up your own stripe and mailgun accounts, and you get to keep ALL your revenue.
And post migration from wordpress/substack is pretty easy.

If there is one resolution I want for journalists this year: it is to get off S*bstack and use Ghost or any other indy publishing platform that does not fund literal nazis instead.

Attacking a data center like it’s The Bastille, everyone fleeing with a bushels of RAM to desolder and resolder the chips. One peasant coded guy with a wheelbarrow of SFP+ modules. Manifesting this for 2026.
