I made a minimal website using Hugo just for writing blogs so I don't have to post them in groups as posts. Hope it's fine here. This is not a promotion. No tracking links either.

I really want to. But around here it's the de facto Craigslist, really really good for farm supplies and all sorts of used things. And well people use it for the events side, and there's lots of specific interest groups that are very active and informative. Which is why it's so hard for me to leave despite the fact I'd enjoy it if Zuck chucks himself into a volcano. I suppose I can just keep making sure I dont click a single ad, though I'm sure they're making money off me somehow. A frustrating situation.
