The new Apache NetBeans website is built with the JBake static site generator written in Java. I appreciate that they're dogfooding one of the few Java-bases SSGs as listed on https://www.staticgen.com. https://github.com/apache/netbeans-website/tree/master/netbeans.apache.org#tooling

C/C++ support is slated to come to Apache NetBeans in September 2019 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+Release+Roadmap

NetBeans 11.1 and 12.1, including installers, are set to be released on July 15, 2019 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Release+Schedule

Apache Netbeans 11 does have installers for Mac, Linux and Windows, but they are deemed "experimental" at this point https://github.com/rtaneja1/incubator-netbeans/tree/installer-bin-11vc4/nbbuild/installer/binaries

Note to Windows 10: Just because I'm hitting the ESC key in GVim, it doesn't in any way mean I need the Edge browser to open with an unhelpful Windows Help screen.

Yes, I need a newer WSL than Ubuntu 16.04. I will upgrade at some point.

My Unison test on NearlyFreeSpeech.net was a success: NFSN uses the current version of the Unison File Synchronizer, but no Linux distros package it. I built it from source on Ubuntu 16.04 in the WSL, and it works like butter. http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/

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/

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
