WordPress “Share this post” – how to get rid of it?
Most of the time I don’t want to share my posts on LinkedIn or wherever. It’s just their way of getting me to subscribe to a Jetpack premium service. I do understand, they need to make some money – for sure. But I just don’t want to get reminded I exceeded the number of free…

my WordPress Linux account has a crontab entry “echo hello”
