Great, could you possibly go a step further and add TLS? LetsEncrypt should do the job.What are the typical hosting expenses on it?Stephen Judge at 2018-01-01T11:30:13Z

I have it on a US$5/month server at Digital Ocean. Then another $20/year for .ca domain registration, more or less. Probably the biggest expense is the spam reports. Spammers use url shorteners to hide their domains. Ur1.ca uses a number of black hole services to detect this, but it can't catch them all. Spam detectors report the spam with a ur1.ca url in it to your hosting provider. They give you N hours to get rid of the shortened URL or they delete your account.2017-12-29T04:54:06Z via AndStatus To: Public

On my way to California. Traveling on Christmas Eve is probably a bad idea but whatever.

It's weird that Canada has no gold.» Evan Prodromou:

Off for a business trip to Toronto. I'm driving; it's the most cost-effective means to get somewhere within 500km of Montreal, it takes only slightly longer door-to-door than flying, and I get to have my car while I'm there.

Last-minute decision to make American Thanksgiving dinner. Turkey will go in the oven this afternoon. Pies, sweet potatoes, stuffing, maybe some mash. Forgot cranberries!

We're having Mexican cuisine tonight. My sister is cooking the traditional Thanksgiving meal on Friday to ensure all family are present.
I was going to do that, because Maj is out of town, but then I decided I really wanted turkey tonight.2017-11-23T12:01:27Z via AndStatus To: Public
I got up and made eggs with cauliflower and smoked paprika for breakfast. Full pot of coffee. This is going to be a good day.

How did you smoke your paprika? In a pipe? It feels like there is missing punctuation somewhere.

Cornbread with homemade strawberry jam. I put sourdough starter in the cornbread and it came out 👌

I've had problems with coffee for quite a few years. When I'm drinking it regularly, I increase my intake gradually: an extra cup in the morning. A cup in the afternoon. One after dinner. A full thermos on my desk all day.
As I drink more, I sleep less at night, I feel less, and worst of all, I get snappy and irritable with friends and family.
So I periodically go cold turkey. I'll typically switch to green tea, which has much lower levels of caffeine. I'll generally get a better outlook, sleep better, and feel better.
Except I love coffee. So then I reintroduce coffee slowly as a treat, then every day, then it gradually creeps into chain-drinking, and I'm back where I started.
I've recently hit on a formula that seems to work, wherein I can drink all the coffee I want before noon, and no coffee at all afterwards. I have noticed that my mood stays stable, I sleep well, but I still get to enjoy my cup.
The problem with rules like this is the edge cases. Like, what if I have a cup of coffee in hand as the clock strikes 12? What should I do with it? I've been giving myself the benefit of the doubt and made the deal that coffee that was poured in a cup before noon can be finished.
A couple of days ago, I made myself a French press at 11:35. I filled up my large Thermos cup, and there was still enough in the pot to fill up another porcelain cup. All poured before noon, all fair to drink as long as I wanted.
I didn't finish the Thermos cup until 4:30PM. I was up from midnight to 3:30am that night. Damn.
So, lesson learned. No coffee after noon, period. Anything still in the cup goes down the drain.Charles Stanhope, Craig Maloney, McClane, AJ Jordan and 1 others likes this.
Similar struggle here, I trick myself with decaf, but in any case I try not to drink after lunch, otherwise it affects my sleep pattern.
The good part is that I (and I guess you) really enjoy that first coffee in the morning...
