Announcing the 0kb.club
The WWW has become a bloated mess. Many pages are loading megabytes of Javascript to show you a few kilobytes of content. These things are a cancerous growth on the web and we should stand up against it.
We can make a difference - no matter how small it may seem. The 0kb Club is a collection of web pages that focus on performance, efficiency and accessibility.
There’s no need to suggest new web pages for the 0kb Club. All pages that are truly without bloat are already on there.
If your pages exceeds 0kb, you might consider the 250kb.club or the 1MB.club which are the inspiration for this page.
After MANY months of consideration, and many MORE hours of work, I've finally migrated my website from WordPress to Hugo!
I'm still playing with settings, themes, etc, but so far I'm pretty happy with it. What finally pushed me to make the change was the new DigitalOcean App Platform, which was a breeze to use.
Check it out! (Website link + blog post about the change below)

Want to create a #Roku channel for personal use? It's surprisingly easy if you do it the hard way, and hard if you try to do it the easy way.
“Packaging Kubernetes for Debian”:

This raises key questions: bundling (“vendoring”) and its implications, contemporary #FreeSoftware development practices and their impact on distro relevance, avoiding/resolving technical disputes, and more.
#Guix has answers to some issues but is otherwise in a situation similar to that of #Debian.
Open Letter to Apache OpenOffice: Today marks 20 years since the source code to OpenOffice was released. And today we say, LibreOffice is clearly the future of the suite (see the timeline). Let's all get behind it, for the benefit of all users: https://blog.documentfoundation.org/blog/2020/10/12/open-letter-to-apache-openoffice/

#WWPCarryForward 5k - me plus 20 lbs
Thanks to everyone who supported wounded warriors today.
I'm happy to announce a project I've been working on for a while now:
#OpenCuts, the open crowdsourced user testing suite
https://www.open-cuts.org
https://gitlab.com/open-cuts
OPEN-CUTS is a web-tool to help #OpenSource communities with user testing! The goal is to allow even inexperienced users to easily report test results for new software releases. OPEN-CUTS then aggregates and compares the metadata across versions to identify regressions.
