My lack of knowledge has led me to only have heard of WordPress, but it feels cumbersome to operate, so I've been writing some 'draft' blogs locally. Thank you for letting me know about this solution; I've already started my first blog.
That's awesome! I am glad I helped. If you have any questions about the setup, please feel free to reach out. Also, when you get your blog up and running, let me know, I would like to check it out.
Amazing! Recently, I've done some digital art using Piet programming language, it kinda reminds of that, just with lines and dots. Awesome, keep up the good work!
I think many suggest that we shouldn’t define our work and identity by our employer or specific job role. Instead, focus on building your expertise in the field and career in general.
This approach allows you to avoid becoming overly dependent on a single company, unlike those who are focused solely on advancing their careers within one organization by relying on trust and loyalty. Those individuals often find themselves vulnerable, risking their positions over minor inconveniences or corporate decisions that are beyond their control.
By building your identity as an expert in the field, you create a more stable foundation for your career, regardless of the dynamics within any specific company.

How would you change the system or modify the current situation in order to define new limits that are more, let's say, humane?
In the article, there is an example of an ex-Google employee that got fired via email, he couldn't say "Bye" to his colleagues after 20 years of working with them. That doesn't seem like a system with reasonable limits.

Until there is a system to easily weed out the people that go ballistic when being laid off, cutting off access is completely fine.
If you want to keep in touch with people outside of work, exchange personal emails.
"How would you change the system" is an above human level question. Winston Churchill said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time. The same for capitalism. It is an illusion that it is easy to change a system in which millions of people participate.
The economic forces as painted here are very real but cruelty is optional. It is not very expensive to give an employee the time to say goodbye to colleagues.

Sure but he had a good reason to conflate all forms of democracy as if there were no difference between them or ways to give more power to the people in, say, UK's form of democracy. Replacing first-past-the-post voting for example wouldn't require abandoning the entire system of government.
> The same for capitalism.
Sure but again there are important differences between laissez faire capitalism and a social market economy and yet this is used to justify reforming the latter into closer and closer approximations of the former. This also ignores that while the economy at large is clearly some form of "capitalism", communities otherwise operate on more non-capitalist patterns of behavior (e.g. buying rounds at the bar among friends, borrowing tools to your neighbors, BYOBs/potlucks).
Even interactions involving currency (remember markets and currency alone don't define capitalism) don't have to be transactional or profit optimized or be defined in terms of ownership and servitude. Of course things like the gig economy, consumerism and "hustle culture" are built around "capitalism"-ifying those non-capitalist interactions by reframing them as transactional or business opportunities - the most blatant example probably being the widely ridiculed genre of blog post a la "what breaking up with my partner taught me about being a hiring manager".
I recently used embedded Lua within Nginx to alter requests on a reverse proxy using Lua scripting.
It's great that Lua can be seamlessly integrated wherever we need it, allowing for the extensions and implementation of custom logic. It's also popular in gaming and often used to develop different custom game mods.
IIRC, Lua in Nginx is deprecated in favor of the NodeJS module. I see more and more Nginx extensions written in JS, for SAML authentication, HTTP ACME challenge, etc...
It's maybe deprecated by the official Nginx support, but there are other projects and organizations that are offering Lua scripting with Nginx with all kinds of extensions and libraries.
You're right, it's missing the RSS feed. I wanted to add it but the last couple of months were really tough personally. Hopefully, I'll get some time soon to address it. Thanks for taking the interest!
As they should. As far as I can see, the second they ban the third party services, they will start pushing ads, hard. You'll be stuck with their official app and their website will use anti ad-blocking tech like YT is testing right now. So at the end, it's all about getting more money on the back of the community.
I'm hosting my blog[1] on GitHub Pages, the repo[2] is public so you can take a look and fork it if you find it interesting.
The setup is really simple, straightforward, and no-cost.
