I'm slowly moving off of NearlyFreeSpeech, but mostly because I'm going to my own self-hosting from a homelab (with what reliability downsides that will have), and I'm trying to retire my personal cloud bill.
For what it's worth, NFSN is the most excellent website host I've ever used, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone (technically adept) looking to spin up their own lightweight sites.
^ they are excellent. The philosophy, the principles, for which they are entirely unique among all providers. It's also entirely sustainable for many long term personal projects, you really can stick a tenner on your account and potentially forget it for years provided your site isn't stupid size (Although I only recently noticed at some point they stopped charging for per unit bandwidth). They've been around for a long time, and I hope they continue to be around for a lot longer. There is also something soothing about the no BS unchanging interface, not a single stock image in sight :)
I wish more services would use the prepay model that NFSN uses. For personal projects and even some minor business uses, I'd much rather have a site go down than be hit with a surprise bill because I misconfigured something.
I think this is the money quote -- noting that these effects are noted on neurotypcial, and not on ADHD brains and therefore may or may not be generalizable:
These results can only be interpreted in the context on normal brain structure and function, and thus would have direct implications for the illicit/neurocognitive use of MPH. Since the underlying anatomy and biochemistry of ADHD has not been definitively characterized, our findings may or may not be generalizable to the vast majority of humans who are properly diagnosed with ADHD and are prescribed methylphenidate. Nevertheless, this work supports studies [51], [57], [58], [59] that demonstrate that drugs shown to increase the levels of dopamine in the synaptic cleft can contribute to degenerative changes in the basal ganglia.
...the underlying anatomy and biochemistry of ADHD has not been definitively characterized...
That's an understatement. The same could be said of any "disorder" or "syndrome" the study of which is motivated primarily by commerce in pharmaceuticals. If humanity survives long enough, future medicine will see "ADHD" as lying mostly within normal human psychological variety. Our clumsy efforts at treatment will be seen as prescribing 6" shoe risers to everyone, whether they're 5'1" or 6'3".
That sounds sort of dismissive to people who have ADHD. It is a real condition with real effects on people's lives, who get very real benefits from medication. It is not like prescribing 6" shoes to everyone. Of course the type of medication and dosage is adjusted to the patient.
If I'm doing something collaboratively, I'll either use a DVCS or meet with people in person. Or hack something together via Google Docs. (OK, I'm starting to see how this could be useful).
That said, I use Draft on a daily basis and it's awesome.
