@nerdnz@cloudisland.nz this would have been really nice to have in like 2019. asynchronously thank you

@nerdnz thanks for this! it's nice to know the situation has improved since when we had to do it, and your writeup is super readable and will doubtless help people

@nerdnz the actual reason why my website jackiejude.me isn't open source is because the git history contains my deadname oops

@nerdnz thats a really good writeup! simple, easy to follow, and clear about the pros and cons of each approach.

Really helpful, thank you @nerdnz
