I'm rocking a Linode VM with nginx and static html files. Very little attack surface, no complexity, etc.
In the past I would have templates, analytics and the works. Today I just want to have the shit up there and that's it.
- dmvdoug 3y agoJust curious: what’s the difference between the past and today? What changed for you?
- guax 3y agoThere is different motivations, for one my website at the moment just hosts some of my photographic work. So instead of messing with frameworks and/or apps I prefer to make more photos, easiest way to avoid some kiddie taking it over because I forgot to update Wordpress or something is to have just html. One thing I noticed while messing with it tho is that the effort to do the basics today is much bigger than 10 years ago. Not because things are more convoluted but because the standards are much higher. You have to work on mobile and desktop, expectation of behaviour is also much higher. Animations are expected, etc. I also solve this problems everyday for work, last thing I want is to do it for me I guess. Funny is that Im also doing way more than I needed, because I could pay for squarespace or something and be done with it but I also want to control it too much?
