> the cloud operator, given that all of the above choices are self-hosted (or at least require some system administration skills), would immediately go for a hosted solution like CloudFlare Pages, Netlify, Vercel, or one of the source code hosting sites that also have static site hosting solutions like SourceHut pages or GitHub pages;
i think of myself as a graybeard (in the article's parlance; i find the term exclusionary) and i use cloudflare in front of github pages. every year i've spent as this craft has seen me accumulate more than a year's worth of new things i'd like to program or learn, 30 years in the list is very long. spending my time and energy doing IT for a static web site is a major waste
- pdimitar 4y agoYeah exactly. As I am saying to another person in this comment section here: it's not about if I can do do the thing in HTML+CSS and upload it. Of course I can. But it's extremely low in my list of priorities. I prefer to write a Markdown article, run just one command, preview locally and if happy, do a `git push` -- the rest is being handled for me. Way too many people wear their meaningless manual busywork as a badge of honor. No time or patience for that crap. These are the things that the computers were invented to do. Let them, they do it better. You are a creative force, use your energy on creative endeavours, not on pointless BS. I, like you, have no less than 500 things in my mental (and partially written) backlog to "check one day". I want to eventually get to that point, not to write HTML.
