Oh shit. My background queue hasn’t been running for the last 2 days and I was completely oblivious to it. Serves me for trying to cheap out on monitoring.

Any and all answers are greatly appreciated. No judgement whatsoever. Asking this for research on a WIP article:
Do you #selfhost 
? If so:
- What do you host yourself?
- Do you use an existing toolchain (Ansible/Puppet scripts, Yunohost, etc)?
- Do you run it bare metal, virtualized or containerized? Which one?
Boosts appreciated 
Namestork
About 60 people signed up yesterday after posting on Product Hunt. I’m pretty chuffed with that.
The side project I’ve been working on is called Namestork and today I posted it to Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/namestork
Namestork helps you find the perfect name for your baby. Instead of scrolling endless lists, or playing tiresome swiping games, it calmly emails you and your partner 9 names a day to consider. My partner and I used a scrappier version of it to name our youngest.
If you’re expecting, or you know someone who is, I’d be grateful if you took a look.
I couldn’t remember if I signed up to Product Hunt with Twitter or AngelList and now I have two accounts 🙃.
…I guess I could have checked the connected apps first.
I’m blown away by all these sites that have popped up where you can quickly generate decent enough logos.
I want to use one because it’s super convenient, but I feel like I’m cheating a designer.

Florida building collapse
I'm stunned by this interview. It basically presents the collapse of that building in Florida as a small-scale version of what will happen to the whole planet in the next 100 years: a pyramid scheme meets harsh reality, and a population faces a deadly problem but is unable to come to terms with how and when to fix things before it's too late.

Foursquare is just pre-pandemic contact tracing.
Kids, Sleeping in
Woke up and kids had made themselves breakfast and changed out of their pyjamas, but there is play-doh all over the floor so….
I’ll still take it as a win 😊

All the designers of the Internet: "Let's build a decentralized network that can re-route around a nuclear war, and still stay functional....
Website Developers from 90's on:
"Sure, except we'll all use like only one of three 'Content Delivery Networks.'"
Today....
Going to give Postmark a try for sending emails. My side project is currently using Amazon SES, but every now and then a bunch of emails to icloud.com and me.com don’t get delivered. I’m also looking for better sending statistics (Not trackers, more like logs).
I got vaccinated on Monday ⭐️😊
Queenslanders, get vaccinated. Hospital hubs now open to all ages and taking walk-ins.
