Tangled looks great, and I may consider self-hosting a knot. But what I am curious about, and what I weigh in such decision, is what your business model is. Right now it isn't clear from the website, so I hope you are perhaps willing to share a bit on that here.

Yea. To me Tailwind was to make CSS act predictably for someone who was not an expert and just wanted to make some tweaks in a good expertly-crafted CSS theme design without seeing the strangest unexpected things happening layout-wise.

Mark Rutte, Netherlands, 14 years prime minister, four terms in office. It is hard to say if he represented the general will of the population given that his party, the liberal-right VVD favors the more well-to-do part of the population. I think many voters voted for him as a trustworthy face and friendly, amicable man. Vote for the personality. He was also characterized as Mr Tefal for his ability to make nothing stick to him in terms of criticism, and utterly pragmatic, denouncing vision. As a result the big problems and areas where reform were most needed, were always pushed to the future.

You might say he introduced a kind of populism, where politicians only care about the next election round and their reputation, to the cost of important decision-making and long-term thinking. Unfortunately this is kind of a working strategy, a weakness of democracy, where the current centre-right government is struggling with all the aggravated problems not dealt with in the past, and the voters think "well, perhaps we have to vote VVD again where these problems didn't exist", or vote more right-wing by populism that makes immigration the cause of all problems.

> Which kind of makes sense, I think a lot of Dutch websites have been taken offline.

Europa.eu and all related subdomains were down very early CEST morning. They run Drupal.

Yes, TransIP is good, but expensive. I always liked their service, when you have questions getting an answer within the hour via their online support interface. But I'm migrating away now (esp. with VPS'es as the prices here are waaay too high). Using OVHCloud now.

I remember in Visual Studio putting a breakpoint on a line, running the execution cursor over it step by step and seeing all variable values that are in scope change in real time. Then being able to drag the cursor back to somewhere before the breakpoint, and edit any value to see if stepping through yields better outcomes. Quite powerful and delightful that.
