   Oh, great. Just looked at Hetzner’s new pricing for VPS servers:

   CPX22 (dedicated vCPU): €7.99 → €19.49 (+143.8%)

   So that’s fun. I guess one way to ensure the Small Web doesn’t happen is to make it prohibitively expensive for people to have their own servers.

   (Before anyone mentions it, prices of single-board computers are also increasing and shipping hardware is an even bigger challenge.)

   If anyone knows cheaper EU-based hosts, please leave a comment.

   It’s so much fun to constantly have the rug pulled out from under you while you’re trying to make progress.

   IF THE EGO HAS
   A THOUSAND ARGUMENTS… 💎

   Most of us spend far too much time answering thoughts that never deserved a reply.

   Training the mind may be much simpler than we make it.

   Not filling it with better thoughts. Not winning arguments with it. Not becoming expert at identifying every form an untrue thought might take.

   Because untruth is clever about changing clothes.

   It can arrive as fear. Grievance. Judgement. An old memory. An imagined conversation. A perfectly reasonable complaint. Something someone should not have said. Something that should have happened differently twenty years ago.

   It can even arrive dressed as wisdom.

   The problem with examining every thought to decide whether it is true is that the negotiation has already begun.

   There is another possibility.

   NO COMMENT.

   A thought wants to be followed.

   No comment.

   It wants justification.

   No comment.

   It produces evidence, witnesses and a very convincing closing argument.

   No comment.

   This isn't suppression. It isn't pretending reality hasn't happened. And it doesn't require the mind to become silent.

   It is simply the refusal to automatically give every thought attention, agreement and belief.

   That is where training matters.

   At first, "no comment" has to be remembered.

   With repetition, it begins to become the response itself.

   The forms can keep changing. They will.

   There is no need to learn every disguise.

   Only to stop automatically believing every story the mind presents.

   The ego can prepare its entire case.

   No comment.

   THERE IS NO NEED TO ENTER THE COURTROOM.

   @r000t
   I have put the websites rght to bookmarks next to the payed one. My dad is a smart guy, so he knows how to use it, but my mom is INCAPABLE of understanding the process of "literally the same process, but click a different website".

   Somewhere I reacently heard, that for boomers, evening news is a primary sensory organ. And I can prove it. My mom knows I go to 10 conventions per year easily. She doesn't much care, but as soon as the Prague Comic con was on news, not only did she record it... Not only was ecstatic to talk to me over the phone about it... We even went through the entire segment together several times to get my full comment.

   It was as if she saw it for the first time. And the same problem is with these websites. Until they get an advert on TV, they just don't exist.

   Do yourself a favor.

   If you don't know how something works, don't comment on it.

   It's easy!

   No knowledge, no comment.

   It's also okay if you want to say you don't know how it works.

   Just don't talk out of your ass. When you do that, you look like an ass.
