When Steve and I started orbiter.host, there were two things we wanted to focus on: 1. Playing in a validated market. 2. Using /pinata for all our IPFS needs. We did exactly those things even if point 1 means dealing with heavy competition. I think we have some nice advantages that will grow over time though.

This assumes that the final 80% of the work is static, and that’s an incorrect assumption in most cases. The Pareto Principle is about finding the correct initial 20% effort to get 80% benefit. Then, you iterate and learn and probably do it all over again. A product is never done (unless its a video game which is where this person’s perspective comes from) https://bobbylox.com/blog/tech-takes-the-pareto-principle-too-far/

Definitely in better shape in my 40s than I was in my 20s, but I absolutely have to take care of myself differently. Stretching, foam rollers, and mobility work are a must. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/01/06/well/move/peak-fitness-after-40.html

I wrote about how to build a Hugo site and host it on Orbiter. https://orbiter.host/blog/how-to-build-and-host-a-hugo-site

The best part of listening to vinyl is that you can’t skip songs (easily). You have to sit there and enjoy the album like you would enjoy a book.

This sort of answers my question from a couple of days ago. I think especially in crypto people are willing to pay for many months or years of a service in advance.

If all L2s continue to settle on Ethereum, doesn’t that make Ethereum plenty valuable. If you stop chasing the ath rhetoric, it seems like Ethereum has done its job pretty damn well.

Had our first phishing website uploaded to Orbiter today. Google immediately flagged the entire domain. We removed the site and requested a review. But if your .orbiter.website is throwing a warning right now, that's why.

You know the memecoin bubble is about to burst when I’m getting Twitter DMs asking to collaborate on a “memecoin project” at the same rate I did for NFT projects at the height of that boom.

The timing part of a couple of these stories is brutal. Dude had two billion dollar business ideas at least but the timing and execution were off. That’s why ideas don’t matter nearly as much. http://blog.rongarret.info/2025/01/i-am-not-failure-lessons-learned-from.html

For people that like to pay for services in crypto, do you prefer paying for a year (or more) in advance? Or do you prefer more standard month to month? (This is assuming it’s an ongoing service, not a one-time purchase)

This is pretty interesting. I don’t have autocorrect turned on in my git config, but I definitely would have got the setting wrong if I did. https://blog.gitbutler.com/why-is-git-autocorrect-too-fast-for-formula-one-drivers/

Remember when TikTok was banned? Yeah, neither do I because I’m old and have never used it in my life. If we ever use TikTok for marketing of Orbiter.host, that’s going to 100% be @stevedylandev.eth’s department 😂

Some of this I get and agree with. But then on the flip side, subscriptions are not necessarily extractive. https://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/3292/the-pc-is-dead-its-time-to-make-computing-personal-again https://polluterofminds.com/blog/the-web-was-built-for-subscriptions
