True freedom cannot exist in the modern world. You are almost always indebted to a loan or a company or your tax man or your government. If you are telling yourself anything else, you are lying to yourself.

I think there is a business case for a small app where you could input the url of your function and have it called every ‘x’ seconds or minutes to keep the function warm.
Would anyone here use it? I can put together a small app in a few days.

Always loved these memes and wondered where these came from. I must commend the original and present makers for doing this. Yet at the same time i must remark on the frailty of the software (flash in this case) we use that makes many things obsolete in just a few years.
