Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

CREATE JEKYLL POSTS FROM THE COMMAND LINE

I got tired on creating new files manually for each new post a write so I put together this little command line task with Thor.

It creates a new file in the _posts directory with today’s date, parses the parameters to command as the post’s title and adds that as a slug to the new file. It then writes a default yaml template to the file (as specified in the script).

Running thor jekyll:new New and shiny post will for example create the file _posts/2012-12-28-new-and-shiny-post.markdown, populate it with an yaml template and finally open the file in my favorite editor.

	(defvar-local flycheck-eglot-current-errors nil)

	(defun flycheck-eglot-report-fn (diags &rest _)
	(setq flycheck-eglot-current-errors
	(mapcar (lambda (diag)
