Your post inspired me to finally write about my FOSDEM experience this year. In summary, it was a little hard connecting to people without already knowing someone there but I still had a nice time in general and learned about some nice stuff like Open Food Facts, PassBolt, and Vale.sh. Looking forward to going again next year. If I'm lucky maybe even give a talk about something, I've really been enjoying coolify this year and maybe the creator would welcome a guest speaker sharing it :)
Who ever thought that while reading the first post on the site and not yet done, I'd actually appreciate being scrolled back to the top, and getting a popup asking to subscribe to a newsletter?
wow that popup in the middle of the article and scrolling is obnoxious. I have never seen it since it doesn't show it to me when logged in.
I poked around and it doesn't appear I can disable that popup without disabling the whole newsletter feature. I don't care so much about people subscribing but my less techy friends seem to like the newsletter mode.
I messaged the hashnode.com support to ask about this. Other than that I've been pretty happy with them given that I don't want to selfhost my blog right now.
