This is how I fell in love with Bad Religion: #Blogging

How I Started Believing in Bad Religion
For almost a decade, after their song You, made me fall in love with punk rock, I hated the band called Bad Religion. And then they turned out to be one of my favorites ever.

Nothing complicated

YEAHH! Finally starting #blogging about #hiking and #photography during our vacation 2 weeks ago!
We started with a nice walk along a lake. As usualy I didn't expect a lot but was eager to…

I wrote a blog post defining "grounded fantasy". At least how I see it - I'm sure it's the sort of thing everyone could come up with their own definition of.

This is why I moved my articles and blogging to ghost, and not substack:

Move your blog from Google blogger to self hosted Ghost. Never get indexed again. 🤦‍♂️ I've even submitted by sitemaps to the major search engines.

Blog post has now passed the threshold of existence: "So many daily variables."
#blogging

Over the past twenty-one years, I've posted 365 posts to my blog, on average one every twenty-one days. They total almost half a million words.
That's quite some corpus of work.

365 posts
Checking my blog yesterday, I noticed that I had published 365 posts, one for every day of the year. Which, considering that the oldest post that remains is from the 24th June 2004, almost twenty one years ago, means that I've averaged one post every twenty-one days over that period. Mind you, I've not been consistent; there've been periods I've posted more, others I've posted less.

"At the end of the day - who cares what you choose. Just choose something. Stop looking at it as 'blogging' or trying to 'capture an audience'."
Great piece by @… from a few years back on the importance of brain dumps and blogging:

Updated my ko-fi site: https://ko-fi.com/davidaugust
With links to my profiles (like here) and new home for my articles and blogging: https://stuff.davidaugust.com/…

An excellent explanation of what bothers me about LLMs, especially in schools (but also more broadly). It's changing who we are - we the community, not just individuals - and in ways we cannot control or manage. I guess some people want those changes. I do not.
It's ironic that writing has never been more central to our lives, with texting and messaging and blogging and social media, yet we are moving towards a sterile world where no one will know how to write.

A few random thoughts on System Shock 2 and the game industry of today.

System Shock 2 - a horrific past caught up with me
No remaster. Only the original game, modded for additional greatness. And it got me thinking...

I am extremely late to the conclave themed blog posting trend but here it is.
It's mostly a bunch of miscellaneous thoughts about how to be a bit less cliche about fantasy religions and also some specific things I've done, mostly with Cairn.

I have n8n running on the home server, copying data down from a number of web services and I have a plan for what to do with it that really excites me. I might start blogging again to talk about it.

Fediverse, maybe you can help me find an old #Canadian #blogging / #diary #website. It is ancient and qu…

I'm migrating my articles and blogging, and you can kind of follow my process.
I just posted this, which includes this line: "Building your goals in someone else’s sandbox alone is not ideal, a little like building a castle on sand."

Online Longevity - David August - Medium
I am shifting my article posting and blogging to a new place: https://davidaugust.ghost.io (I signed up for the 14 day trial… not sure yet if investing in paying monthly or annually is a good idea)…

I have been trialling Substack as a supplement to my blog. Substack has a large community of people interested in local and social history, so it's a good fit for me. I'm not planning to stop blogging, and some posts may appear in both places, but it allows me scope to write on a wider range of topics. https://

Yep, seems like different parts of the Fosstodon mod team just keep doubling down on "we are apolitical" – as if that was a real thing and not just reinforcing the existing power and abuse…
And in true fashion for FOSS priorities, the admin can't seem to get a statement out as it's more important to first pick a blogging platform.
This could fit into a FOSS-centric reboot of that Silicon Valley comedy show if it wasn't so sad 😅

I chose a new home for my blogging and articles:

Migrating Stuff
changing the place I blog, post articles and...stuff So I've chosen stuff.davidaugust.com as my new custom domain for this site. Setting up a custom domain with ghost, the software running this site, is pretty straightforward. I did it a few minutes ago and already can now access

Anyone tried https://www.itter.sh/ here? The concept seems quite cool. It's a microblogging platform entirely run over ssh on a server. From their page:
itter.sh is your escape from the noise. It's a micro-blogging platform accessed entirely via SSH. No web browser. No JavaScript. No endless scroll of algo…

So, deciding on a possible domain for my new home for my articles and blogging.
My main site is https://www.davidaugust.com/
And I own davidaugust.net
But maybe that gets confusing, so not great.
Maybe a subdomain?
I think ghost.davidaugust.com would be highlighting the tech runnin…
