   It is a nice mini-blog, it's for free and such but

   As a mini-blog, it is a nice alternative for Medium to publish and share information about programming.

   However, the community and the organization are biased toward social justice (and they are open to it). You can read its Code of Conduct, it is so vague and politically leads (I prefer a term of service because it defines fair rules for everybody). So it alienates developers that we don't care about politics in pro of people that want to talk about any other topic such as sexuality, how women are unprivileged, and such. It even mandates to use inclusive language. Good grief.

   My main complaint is the quality of the community. It is not StackOverflow (so we don't want to ask for an answer here), and most of the top topics are clickbait, such as "how to become a rockstar developer in ... days", "100 tips to become a better programmer" (and it doesn't even talk about programming).

   Technically this "mini blog" site allows us to use markdown, and it is okay. However, the whole experience is really basic. Even the template is ugly.

   🏁 Competitors: Medium

   👍 Pros:    Free

   👎 Cons:    Social justice|Basic features|Quality of content

• Installed docker, rebooted, now PC is broken..

  Well, since you do have a Pi then take a look at Hypriot. /u/denzuko (my main account) is a contributor, does support via the gitter.im channel, and been using it for ages. Dead simple to use; download the ISO. Use balana etcher to burn to an SD card. Open the boot drive and drop your wpa/wifi config into /boot/user-data. Once it comes online ssh in as [hypriot@black-pearl.local](mailto:hypriot@black-pearl.local)... Source: over 2 years ago
