First morning in weeks that I woke up without an active attack attempt against any of my servers. Oh wait, never mind an xmlrpc.php attack against https://t.co/L7kTYtkDCj in progress. CPU is at 0.02/0.05/0.10. Silly attackers wasting more of their own resources than mine.

I'm investing heavily in total control over the services I use. The best part of being a programmer is I can literally build anything any of these services can provide. "I'll be taking over now."

[Mat Lipe @LipeMat]

That awkward moment when you're building your own version of a tool to avoid paying the $6.50 a month subscription and you realize your version is so much better. So what do you do? Launch a commercial version to complete against a company you respect or keep it for yourself?

[Mat Lipe @LipeMat]

The reality is I've gotten creamed the past few by services and providers either raising they price by as much as 300+% or discontinuing the service altogether. It's exhausting reacting to all this greed and corporate prioritization.

[Mat Lipe @LipeMat]

Of course you're asking, "why would anyone spent 100s of hours building something to save a few dollars a month?"

[Mat Lipe @LipeMat]

The choice is obvious. I have no intention of taking business for a company that takes care of their users. Instead I gave them access to my version to play around with and take what they want from it.

WordPress announced today they are going to greatly slowdown the cadence of releases. Thrilled we can get back to work and not constantly triage WordPress updates.

Finally, something good came out of Automattic's campaign against their own community.
