If you’re comfortable with php writing an importer for Kirby is simple, checkout their cli YouTube video. Nice modern api and easy to import content. Being flat file if there’s a mistake, just delete the content folder and import again!
Last I checked Automattic is a privately held for profit company. One could argue that it’s a private equity too. Just using different words to twist a narrative.
This is not the same. Private equity extracts as an investment, Automattic is an ecosystem participant (that happens to be privately held) that actively contributes to the community. That doesn’t mean Matt hasn’t taken things too far (I leave that to be determined by civil courts and the Wordpress community, no dog in the fight myself), but there is a difference, and it is very important to clearly delineate who is receiving benefit for value realized economically.
They were, until the CEO started burning decades of goodwill. At this point I'm looking at what I should do to get off Automattic for my website, I'm legit scared plugin developers are going to get spooked.
I would argue that attempting to strong arm a competitor into paying for your open source product and then doing all of this when they won’t is way farther down the late stage capitalism road than most private equity companies.
That’s probably mostly because the private equity folks are just better at extracting money without causing an international scene. Matt’s ineptitude doesn’t make it categorically different, though.
I can understand the desire to prevent freeloading, but not agree with the methods to encourage better behavior. Economic systems are hard and imperfect.
not trying to be controversial, and I know some private investment firms are understandably not well regarded, but there are plenty you don’t hear about that are quite pleasant to work with
Don't stop at robots.txt blocking. Look through your access logs, and you'll likely find a few IPs generating a huge amount of traffic. Look them up via "whois," then block the entire IP range if it seems like a bot host. There's no reason for cloud providers to browse my personal site, so if they host crawlers, they get blocked.
I wonder how the AI/copyright arguments will play out in court.
"If I read your book and I have a photographic memory and can recall any paragraph do I need to pay you a licensing fee?"
"If I go through your library and count all the times that 'the' is adjacent to 'end' do I need to get your permission to then tell that number to other people?"
Cases where we see the absurdity of copyright in its current form. But either we have it for everyone, including OpenAI, or for no one. Or are perhaps some more equal than others before the law?
Most aircraft get their pressurized air from the engine bypass air, off a system called the bleed air system (air is bled off of the bypass). Since the bypass air (air that is compressed but not used for combustion, it makes jet engines more efficient) is already pressurized by engine operation it's sort of "free compressed air" and used for a few different purposes. That said, some newer aircraft are choosing to simplify design by eliminating the bleed air system and instead using electrically-driven compressors for cabin air. One advantage this has is that the air doesn't require initial cooling like bleed air does due to the engine bypass being so hot. Mostly, though, it's being done for the reduced cost/complexity and increased safety of eliminating the air lines from the engines.
The air needs to be pressurized so people can breathe normally. The most convenient way to do this is to use bleed air from the turbine compressors, but no-bleed systems (e.g., https://www.boeing.com/commercial/aeromagazine/articles/qtr_...) are possible.

Has been fun to switch and fast.
