Running Techrights is Fun, Rewarding, and Gratifying
I sleep (or slept) as little as my body can tolerate to increase and improve my output. The "golden era" of the Web is almost 20 years behind us.
Unless you are a Buddhist who believes in karma, you'll probably agree that each of us lives once. "Be useful" [1, 2, 3] as a motto seems to have regained visibility this week. "I gave it [life] everything I had," said the creator of Dilbert, who had also published quite a few successful (widely-read) books. Yesterday our server handled nearly 1.2 million requests (even more if we count Gemini too) and I managed to publish over 30 articles across sites. I could do more had it not been for computer breaks and extra sleep (in 2025 I began sleeping a lot more to improve my ability to concentrate).
Running this site has always been fun and after almost 20 years it's still fun. So let's do this for another 20 years. If the Web doesn't last this long, we'll transition to whatever protocol/standard comes next.
In Geminispace we are already quite dominant. It continues to grow (some time soon 5,000 capsules will be known to Lupa) and prominent capsules are visited routinely. Getting 'noticed' is the hard part - same as on the Web.
It clearly pisses off some people that this site is productive and its people are generally happy. So they do anything they can in desperate (self-harming) efforts to sabotage it. They'll never succeed. We always outwit them. █
