The spat between Automattic and WP Engine expands. I have a previous post with a little background about this $7.5 billion dollar company Automattic with a good opinion piece. By Paul Sawers Automattic CEO and WordPress co-creator Matt Mullenweg has…
That’s why I use Firefox with uMatrix and uBlock Origin, also with a lot of settings locked down just to the point before it starts breaking the web. It can be a pain to configure per site, but uMatrix gives…
I have a Raspberry Pi 5 running Raspiblitz with a 2 TB drive, and it’s an impressive machine which is significantly faster and more capable than the Pi 4. With 16 GB of memory you could actually do a little…
