Sammā Kammanta - "right action"
[ Skip past the blather to the ↓ Web how-tos ↓ ]
How-tos and resources for Doing Web Things, as discovered by the Balo Injie Anagārika World WebWalker formerly WoodsWalker, and his loyal followers. May be of interest to others.
Most of these how-tos are for working with ClassicPress (or WordPress v.4.9.x). Some are general web dev, apache, php, shell how-tos – my API for building websites.
All mentions of "wordpress" and "wp" can be taken for the most part to refer to Wordpress and ClassicPress. Any "cp" will be specific to ClassicPress. All my sites are converting to ClassicPress — for the most part WordPress how-tos should still apply. Will try to keep up on changes!
What you see here is all done with the magic of text files, a little bit o' bash, a little bit o' vim, a little bit o' CSS, and some heavy lifting by the apache web server. See how to do it in this file here. Ok? Now you don't need no steenkin' sasses and grunts and gulps and moans and groans! (Unless you really want them and you know why!)
How to find things:
The filenames pretty much reflect their content;
are named so as to order hierarchically (sorta like categories).

Why "samma kammanta"?
samma - right, good | kammanta - action ... this is the work!
-
“Do what you do
and give the fruits of your action to me.” - Krishna, Bhagavad Gita
- “The ideal Buddhist practice, in my opinion, is one that unites inner meditative development with external action in the world. When we cultivate love and compassion as a meditative practice, we create in our hearts a powerful force that can be unleashed and effect momentous transformations, bringing benefits to many. But the love and compassion in our hearts have to find channels to flow out in the form of concrete action.”
- Ven. Bhikkhu Bodhi
- 4th section "Putting Compassion into Action", in Parabola.org/2016/10/31/love-and-compassion-in-meditation-and-action-by-ven-bhikkhu-bodhi/

- Sammā Kammanta - "right action"
- The fourth step on the Buddha's Noble Eightfold Middle Path.
- Negatively: do not kill, do not steal, no sexual misconduct, so as to purify ones mind and body.
- Positively, any action motivated by kindness, generosity, the desire to help others or preserve life.

It is not enough to be compassionate,
we must act.
— Dalai Lama XiV
Why the Buddhism propaganda?
Can't help it. These concepts ... in the past not as conscious and verbalised ... now tied to sets of words and practices ... are the drivers behind what i do (for past 17 years now).
To explain the tech, without saying something about the philosophy behind it, seems incomplete, and even wrong.
And also, maybe in some utopian vision of counteracting the empty, ethics-less, and downright evil motivations that a lot of the Web and tech has sunk to.
Take what you like and leave the rest! :)
