@morganm@subdued.social I get this sentiment, but also publishing was always a big part of the magic for me. So if it’s a personal/fun site (as in not for a business) I think publishing soon and often is a good way to keep up the motivation to learn.

Anyone know how I could get a Windows VM on a cloud somewhere that I can use as a virtual desktop?

I see Azure Virtual Desktop but it’s so heavily targeted at businesses that I can’t figure out what I need as just an individual.

🤯 puter.com just blew my mind.

It also strikes me as a good tool for an HTML beginner since you only need a web browser, but it is still conceptually a file system like one’s local machine. The stuff you learn carries over to a “real” system.

Jotted this down a while ago but haven't had any ideas yet.

What do you call an in-joke that’s more of a reference than a joke? For example, this sentence:

No one outside the group understood why the cat was named Foobar because his name was a [word that means inside reference].

Or maybe “inside reference” is right. I don’t know.

When I die, my family is going to have a tough time sorting through my digital empire. What can I do to make it easier? What should I reasonably wish to be done?

Just wondering if anyone has tips for documenting stuff.
