I can't explain how excited I was for the Reforged version of the game and how disappointed I was when it flopped.
My favorite part of games is learning the mechanics and coming up with strategies. Which paired well with an endless supply of new game modes to try.
I have been unable to find any modern game that is both active and has a series of custom maps. If anyone knows of any, please let me know.
Hey Savin, it's been a while since chatted. I hope things are going well ;)
For those unaware, onsone of the co
I've had my site for many years and the analytics set up were set up from the start. The amount of free time I can decorate to my site and the length of my blocks of free time have drastically changed, which made me focus the time I spend on my site to only writing. I have a large backlog of non writing things I wish to do, but can't justify them as of right now.
I'm going to remove the UI tracking component as I never look at the data. It was just something I thought was neat and was exploring for a work situation at the time.
The usage of GA is nice as it tells me what posts are popular but that's really not important in the grand scheme of things. As I always blog about what I find interesting regardless of how popular it is.
So in short, if I was willing to dedicate my time I spend on my site to non blogging right now, is rip out our of the analytics tool. And look for a replacement on the other, or rip it out entirely.
The flip phone component was mostly to decrease the availability of distractions in my life. Which doesn't necessarily mean I'm against analytics but yeah. I hope that answers your question. Thanks for taking an interest in my setup :)
I've been experimenting with using a flip phone for a few months now. It's got some quirks and has been more interesting of a switch then I thought.
I wrote about it here:

Disclaimer, I have two analytics JS libraries running. One is gA, the other is one I've been meaning to rip out but haven't yet. I also want to add a comment system that ties into say GitHub posts or something else. Open to any advice on making these posts more "hacker" friendly
Thanks!
With respect to MCP servers, I saw the comment below about integration with librechat. Is there any other documentation on integrations with other self host able solutions? Be it ollama or other.
I loved the devices but that put a pretty bad taste in my mouth for longevity
It just so happens two individuals have reached out to me in the past week, saying they enjoyed what I wrote and one of them cited that I saved them time. That just feels incredible.
To answer your questions I don't find my readers at all. I share my content when relevant on reddit or here. I keep writing because I enjoy it.
I'll link my blog post and will remove if asked to:

I ask, as my preference would be to do the boring thing and install a binary locally. Like how one generally uses git for example.
Over time I've noticed that readership has increased and I've started to get comments from readers either asking for additional help or offering advice. With that also comes a ton of companies offering their paid services to improve my seo ranking....
Overall, it's a nice stress-free place to write.
The options I've seen today are no where near as good as chat gpt
Yeah, that's exactly what I think the problem is. I arbitrary consider a one thing a project and another thing a post.
Understood, thanks for your advice!
I'm pretty torn on having a separation between the notion of "posts" and "projects". I don't keep the project section up to date very often, and probably should remove it. Any thoughts/advice on this HN?
