I read an amusing anecdote about him this morning:

When he was awarded the $236,000 MacArthur “genius” grant in 1981, he carried on cutting his own hair and preparing meals on a hot-plate. And he only ever signed 250 copies of his Pulitzer Prize-winning 2006 novel The Road, all of which he gave to his youngest son John. When the boy turns 18, McCarthy said, “he can sell them and go to Las Vegas or whatever”.

I enjoyed The Road. Couldn't get on with any of his others though.

I'm relatively competent installing server software, but the Lemmy instructions completely flummoxed me. Their docker instructions just don't work.

I ended up using the ansible docker scripts and filling out the blanks because I'm unfamiliar with ansible.

If this is as good as it sounds, you're doing everyone a massive favour.

First I've heard of Boolwyrm. Looks neat!

Wallabag is what most people recommend, but I couldn't get on with it.
