I got it when it came out and had fun with it. It’s kind of short, at least for an adult, but that makes it accessible for kids. And they added some (free) content later. Controls were pretty good. A little hard to get used to at first but I played it on Steam Deck while traveling — so with a controller on a small screen — and I imagine there’d be no learning curve with a mouse and monitor.

Anyway, at the price it is there, it’s well worth it. You solve puzzles by building stuff but there’s usually plenty of extra pieces so you can make something fun/creative within the parameters of solving the puzzle.

I use &c. so people can read Latin, Medieval Romance languages, et cetera.

That a pretty impressive considering the real one had to be made of like 7000 pieces using different suppliers to get every congressional district on board.

https://motherfuckingwebsite.com/ If it’s just text, you can probably make a static HTML website and accomplish your goals. I’m not sure what format it’s in now but Markdown is what I use and then just export to HTML.

If you just want to host epub (or equivalent files), you can still make a static page and link to them with Cloudflare Pages, GitHub.io, or one of many free static page hosting sites.

Is it transactional emails, one-to-many, or like a message board where people get email notifications? I’m not sure I’ll have a good answer but I suspect that context would change some answers.

I’m gonna play devil’s advocate here.

You should play around with it. But I’ve been a Linux server admin for a long time and — this might be unpopular — I think Docker is unimportant for your situation. I use Docker daily at work and I love it. But I didn’t bother with it for my home server. I’ll never need to scale it or deploy anything repeatedly or where I need 100% uptime.

At home, I tend to try out new things and my old docker-compose files are just not that valuable. Docker is amazing at work where I have different use cases but it mostly just adds needless complexity on a home server.

I don’t think it matters but I usually pick Ubuntu as the base for my server(s) just because I tend to always go back to an Ubuntu spin as my daily driver. It’s better to just have it be the same.

I don’t self-host Nextcloud. I have a cheap cloud instance running it and it’s essentially my off-site backup for important documents. I don’t put just anything up there but I live in New Orleans so I feel like I should assume my home server won’t necessarily be online when I most need insurance documents and shit like that.

Homer has a union job — he was literally head of the union — and Marge got to keep all that Pretzel Wagon money after the Investorettes hired the Yakuza to take out her mafia protectors.

One of my favorite Beavis and Butthead throwaway gags is when Butthead has to get his braces worked on and it briefly cuts to Beavis reading Highlights for Children in the waiting room and he just says “Heh heh. Yeah. Goofus is cool.”
