I agree with everything here. The internet wasn’t always a constant amusement park.
I’m rather proud of my own static site
If you don’t mind me asking, how do you host your site?
I host it via docker+nginx on my own hardware.
I’m in the same boat (sorta)!
Follow up question, did you have trouble exposing port :80 & :443 to the internet? Also are you also using Swarm or Kubernetes?
I have the docker engine setup on a machine along side Traefik (have tried Nginx in the past) primarily using Docker Compose and it works beautifully on LAN however I can’t seem to figure out why I can’t connect over the internet, I’m forced to WireGuard/VPN into my home network to access my site.
No need to provide troubleshooting advice, just curious on your experience.
I keep everything as flat as possible. Just the regular docker (+compose) package running on vanilla Debian. On the networking side, I’m lucky in that I have a government-run fiber provider that doesn’t care that much what I host, so it’s just using the normal ports.
I did previously use C*mcast, and I remember there was an extra step I had to do to get it to redirect port 80 over 443, but I couldn’t tell you what that step was anymore.
With respect to the presentation of your site, I like it! It’s quite stylish and displays well on my phone.

Beautiful, I bookmarked it.
Thank you for sharing.
Good luck get advertiser support for your “slow web”. Oh, wait…
I would question the assumption that advertisers on the internet is a good thing.
Interesting read. It captures a lot of how I feel and what I miss about the “old internet.”
I think I wrote this. This is my philosophy for how the web should be. Social media shouldn’t be the main Highway of the web. And the internet should be more of a place to visit, not an always there presence.
the internet peaked in 2000
Adding my voice to the chorus of “this is how I feel” because, well, it encapsulates exactly how I feel. Author’s personnal website is now in my RSS reader under a new category: Slow Web.
If anyone has suggestions for more website to add to that category they’re more than welcomed.
