As many of my friends and family know, I volunteer for the Dragora Project, an independent fully-free GNU/Linux distribution. Dragora is a very important part of my life because it opened up a new way of thought for me. Not just in my computing life but also in my day-to-day life. This new way of thought is fairly interesting and something that I find quite valuable.
Dragora as a concept comes in 4 parts: freedom, independence, community, simplicity. Each of these parts are valid concepts in computing but also in personal life, as I've found out. Let's unpack.

Recently my iPhone SE has been having some problems - big problems. The phone itself runs fine and has no issues handling iOS in general or any apps I wish to run. It's practically still brand new in that sense. However, somewhere within the power/lock circuity there seems to be a malfunction causing the screen to lock and unlock at random. Although very annoying, it was still usable for few months.
Enter the curse of 2018! The is practically useless now. It locks/unlocks so much that I can't even accept a phone call. Due to this tragedy, I was forced to find another cellular device.
Replicant was my first choice. I plugged in my SIM card and ... nothing happened. Turns out either Replicant 6 has a bug or the phone's SIM reader is broken. Either way, I had to ditch the idea because I didn't to get a working phone quickly.
Then it hit it... Palm/HP Pre 3!

You've come to the site of a web developer (me) and were shocked. You immediately
thought: "Lol, why is his site so old looking? This isn't the 90s!" Due to my
prediction abilities, I foresaw this happening, thus, this article was born.

There are a ton of options when it comes to creating a website; from designing
it to picking tools for it to hosting it, there is a plethora! As a
professional web developer, I know this first hand. In fact, there
is a painful sickness called JavaScript Fatigue that effects tons of developers
because there are so many friggin' options! Given all these choices, why on
Earth did I choose to use org-mode to create this site?!
