Last post here / the Freebie model online
This is my last post on blogger.com. At least, that is the plan. It has been a great 18 years. I like to thank the owners of blogger.com and Google later for providing this service. I am continuing the chem-bla-ics on a new domain: https://chem-bla-ics.linkedchemistry.info/
I, like so many others, struggle with choosing open infrastructure versus the freebie model. Of course, we know these things come and go. Google Reader, FriendFeed, Twitter/X (see doi:10.1038/d41586-023-02554-0). My new blog is still using the freebie model: I am hosting it on GitHub. But following the advice from a fellow cheminformatician, I now front this with a owned domain name.
