Similar to last year, 2018 is also the new slowest time in the site's history. These days I think I've evolved in terms of writing here. I don't do many technology reviews anymore because I don't have funds to do so, and most trends I don't find too interesting to write about anymore.
I haven't written anything that I talked about in last year's post, I've noticed. That doesn't sound good on paper and it certainly doesn't sound good to me now that I'm reading it, but I can chime in a little on the LastPass -> KeePass stuff: I moved from KeePass 2 (the original application written in .NET) to KeePassXC, which is a cross-platform password manager that works with the KeePass database format. It's a native app written in Qt and looks great, even on Linux.
I don't think I'll ever end up writing about how terrible HostSailor is, mostly because they are such a waste of my time that I don't feel bothered enough to do it anymore. Just know that they are, and if anyone is interested in a short one-on-one story about them, just shoot me a message in the contact form.
Another small thing I did with Techman's World as well as Techtronix is migrate from Google Domains to Cloudflare Registrar. There was a brief period a few days ago when this site was 404, but I fixed it as soon as it became apparent to me. I could end up writing about that as well, although the transition was mostly seamless because I used Cloudflare DNS already.
Techtronix
However, Techtronix is still very much alive and well. I've launched a new site, powered by Google Sites, at https://www.techtronix.net. I chose Google Sites this time around mostly due to laziness, but I might eventually move it to GitHub Pages if I feel the need to. If any of you from the "original" days are still around (especially when I used to talk a lot about Disqus), hop in and say hello sometime. If you use your Disqus name I'll likely recognize you.I hope you all are doing well. Here's to another year!
