I have taken the next step in my home web server project: I used Free DNS to point a subdomain at my IP address, and I went into my router's port forwarding to direct port 80 requests to the Raspberry Pi's local IP address on the home network.

Hello Rails: A modern course designed to help you start using and understanding Ruby on Rails fast - Andy Leverenz https://hellorails.io/

I say this with no hyperbole: @Firefox is one of the most important projects we have, and it should be used, supported and celebrated. @Mozilla's decision to focus on privacy and performance means that you don't have to run Google Chrome if you care about those things.

Those Koch Industries ads on @axios are starting to work on me. It's like, "hey, we aren't just a firehose of GOP campaign cash, we also MAKE ACTUAL THINGS."
