I am just like you except for the netbsd source part, and I have my own private cloud/nas with virtualization. I also at one point just started using AWS S3 as my personal dropbox on chrome for sharing files with myself, since I backup encrypted snapshots there from my cloud anyway.
but I think there are many people out there that love a gui for storing files in the cloud. i know my parents/parents friends' all use it.
nice! this is really cool. I hate writing markdown and although I write javascript, html, css, and all sorts of json/regex/xml I can't for the life of me remember markdown (other than bold/links) etc haha.
either way my 1 change would be show the toolbar by default, upon loading my repo for the first time it was a bit un-intuitive but once that appeared it was great. gh should have this built in or switch to html for readmes.
you can scan your site with cloudflares tool https://isitagentready.com/ for all that new agent / web mcp type of goodness. love your service btw. I think im going to make the swap. there is one domain that I rely on for ddns and the service I use, while reliable, just really sucks for reasons you have already outlined
for me the answer is libraries: most of these other languages don't have the libraries that Javascript has. it would not be an efficient use of my time, tokens , etc to rewrite in rust et al
this is great. Google has a vendetta against small personal blogs and is one of the original reasons why I fell in love with Google was because I got to discover all these indie publishers. as much as I love sub stack and Reddit these platforms along with all the garbage and slop is pushing us down.
you are absolutely right, standards are so important in web design esp when you take into consideration ppl with ADA needs, elderly people having a familiar env etc
to be fair a lot of ppl still run this way and just have really good backups, or have an offline / truly on-prep server where they can flip the dns switch in case of true outage.
Yes and for many services that is totally fine. As long as you have backups of data and can redeploy easily. It's not how I personally do things usually but there is definitely a place for it.
I agree with you, even for the servers I am responsible for I always make decisions like putting db on supabase instead of local, hosting files on s3 with versioning/multi region etc. then of course come up with a backup and snapshot system.
