Reminder for Newcomers
https://indieweb.org is a great resource for learning about technology and the chat runs 24/7 and is the #dev channel is a great place to ask questions about all things related to building websites https://chat.indieweb.org/ It's great to start with just plain HTML and worry about automating or tooling later. The principle is called "manual until it hurts": manual_until_it_hurts
Safer curl one-liners e.g.:
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nektos/act/master/install.sh | sudo bash
