I see #30pLee has resigned.
Apparently because the government isn't fascist enough for him.
6am, I had this incredibly vivid dream that I could see some kind of other dimensional majestic celestial entity, I guess a being that in other times would have been called an "angel". I felt immersed with hope and strangely protected.
I begged them to impart some esoteric knowledge of our age, they appeared to smile, leaned in, blinding me with their glow, and just as I woke uttered the words: "The Cranberries song Linger is about someone that farted on a first date.

So its done! I finally released a fairly easy to install (from scratch) Hugo based Static Site generator with full ActivityPub support.
It has step-by-step instructions on how to set it up for your own blog or static website.
One of the coolest features for me, other than having your static site blog posts show up as posts in the Fediverse is the support for interacting with those posts. Any replies you leave, likes, or boosts will show up in the "comments" section of the website on the page associated with the post. How cool is that!

2. Avoid anything involving crypto or blockchain.
