The Amazon Lightsail FAQ is extensive https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/faq/
Even though Amazon Lightsail starts at .50/month, they kind of want you to pair it with a /month managed database. But I think you can use a database from within your VPS, though it won't be as beefy. https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/faq/
Amazon sees its Lightsail VM product as a gateway drug to EC2 https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/features/
When it comes to price, performance and bandwidth Amazon Lightsail (basically a VM) is looking pretty attractive https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/
Raspberry Pi on Raspberry Pi: It’s good enough to run its own launch website with tens of millions of visitors | Mythic Beasts https://blog.mythic-beasts.com/2019/06/22/raspberry-pi-on-raspberry-pi/
Since I disabled @conexantsystems's awful Flow.exe (by renaming it _Flow.exe so the Conexant drivers can't find it), I can run @firefox again. It's an ugly hack, but it's all that works in Windows 10.

Hey there, @medium writer, they're probably not paying you, so I'm not crazy about paying them ...
I would have dumped @googlechrome for @firefox already if @ConexantSystems' terrible audio driver didn't wreck the performance of thousands of HP laptops, including mine https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1555726

Hello, world
This is my Updates archive of social-media-style posts. My main sites can be found here and here.
My original Ode site lives! You can find it here.New: Every post on one page
See EVERY post in this microblog — all 3,500+ — on one HTML page. This archive updates once daily.

Social updates, or why this site exists and how it works
This site is dedicated to social-media-style updates. For longer pieces, see links to my main sites above. In this microblog, I am using a command-line script written in Ruby to feed this site and my Fediverse account on Mastodon.
In February 2026, I fixed this microblog and changed my configuration in the blogPoster script so I could start posting to it again. Even though I'm a regular Fediverse user, I see some value in keeping my own microblog in this simple form. It's basically a blog that can be easily fed and which doesn't show post titles (though every post does have a title, the blog HTML hides them).Goals in 2026
I'd like to begin work on a new blog-posting GUI app that makes it easy to write and post to a Hugo or Zola blog. I have sites using both static site generators, but the Zola site is where I'm writing these days.
No databases were harmed in the making of this web site
You're seeing this blog, powered by Ode, through the magic of the Perl programming language and the Common Gateway Interface. Also involved: the Apache web server and Linux operating system.
The Ode project website has been down for some time, but you can find what's left of the user base at Gitter.
Ode does not use a database to store content. Instead, every entry exists on the web server as a "flat" text file.
Counter: Thanks to Rob Reed for the Ode system that runs this blog as well as his help on the Counter addin that provides the post-count feature seen above.
What happened to the Ode project?
I don't really know.
