Bix dot Blog

The unsupported use case of Bix Frankonis’ disordered, surplus, mediocre midlife in St. Johns, Oregon—now with climate crisis, rising fascism, increasing disability, eventual poverty, and inevitable death.

Read the current manifesto. (And the followup.)

Rules: no fear, no hate, no thoughtless bullshit, and no nazis.

Bix Website Apocalypse Possibly Imminent

For awhile now, my DigitalOcean droplet, which hosts a number of different WordPress-driven websites, intermittently encounters unexplained load spikes that I don’t understand. These spikes make every site on the droplet completely unresponsive for three-to-five minutes at a time. Already today I’ve experienced several in just a couple of hours. It’s so frustrating that I am about 50% of the way to a decision to just take myself entirely offline except for anything that I can go put up on Carrd, which will mean taking both my personal blog and the Currently blog entirely offline because I just can’t with this shit.

Addenda

  1. I’ve moved all my single-page sites to Carrd, leaving just a couple of blogs on the droplet. We’ll see what happens.
