I have not been a big SCP consumer over the years but I checked the book out and it was a wild ride.

They provide hosting for Wordpress blogs, and a number of their backend tools have premium versions, such as backups, etc.

I remember hearing this back in the late 90s and I came into my high school biology class and mentioned it. The teacher was kind enough not to call me a moron but he made clear he didn't believe it, and I didn't (and don't) remember where I had heard it back then. Glad to know I wasn't completely wrong for regurgitating that factoid then.

I wrote about this exact thing. If they gave me a Google Reader-esque product as part of their subscription service for VPN etc., it would get me to subscribe.

Agreed. It turns out the data they report from actually has that exact thing in it: https://www2.census.gov/programs-surveys/popest/tables/2020-... -- I believe this change rate appears calculated against their 2020 census data and not the estimates from 2022.
States with most negative change rate: California (-0.9%), Illinois (-0.8%), Louisiana (-0.8%), West Virginia (-0.6%), Hawaii (-0.5%)
Five most positive change rate: South Dakota (1.5%), Texas (1.6%), South Carolina (1.7%), Idaho (1.8%), Florida (1.9%)
Interestingly three states did not have enough change to register: Kansas, Michigan and Vermont.

Yes, you definitely can, however running your own instance is not an out of the box process currently.

I don't know why I never considered using git for syncing it. I currently just use some scripts to sync to the server on laptop and on my phone.

Wow, I've had one since 2007. I've even quoted that exact line. And yet I've never actually done it and am glad I haven't.

I recently unearthed one of my old Hipster PDAs from college. It was buried in the back of a drawer. Quite the bit of nostalgia as I leafed through it.

Most of mine are one-time use or limited use. I have a few ongoing dev projects for personal use:
- My smaller blog is a (poorly) written CMS that makes a static site. Almost zero reason other than I wanted the experience of building my own CMS, could easily use another tool.
- I have a 'Pick'em' with friends for MLS soccer. It's a fully coded website, definitely my biggest ongoing project.
- I have a tool which looks at upcoming soccer games around the world and recommends the best ones to watch (looking at a number of variables such as relative ranking in the league, historic goals for and against, gambling odds, etc.)
- I have a weight and body fat tracker I use to enter my daily weigh in and see graphs and charts of my progress.
