(Neocities also exists and if I wasn't wanting to use my own domain would be a great option, but if I do it's more expensive than the dreamhost-type places, and no cgi for silly fun stuff)

Option 4: Github Pages
This is kind of the odd one out. I'd be restricted to static pages only - with the static site tools these days this isn't a limitation for anything but dumb server-side toys, especially since I can still use Javascript to my heart's content. You can't beat the price, it's just the domain renewals I'm already paying. But can I trust them? Migrating static sites is easy as heck though so if they start causing problems I can move away...

Option 3: Get a single-board computer and do it at home
There's some real pluses here - full control being the big one. I can run whatever I want as long as my connection can handle it, and if I do something stupid it only hurts me. On the other hand, my residential connection is not exactly the best suited to hosting much of anything, with the random downtime, the dynamic IP, and the really narrow bandwidth.

Option 2: Dreamhost and such
This is pretty similar to SDF in most ways, but cheaper if I'm willing to move around every couple years to chase new-site deals, and without the nice social aspect.

Option 1: SDF
A public-access Unix system I already use for gopher and socializing and occasionally very dumb programming ideas when stuck on a windows laptop. The pros are that I already have some stuff there, and keeping that place alive is good. Cons are mostly that, if I want to use my own domain and have SSL, it's a little more expensive than the other options (unless I'm reading things wrong)

So, I've been playing with my web presence more. It's just playing, nothing serious, but still, it's enough that I'm wanting to go a bit bigger.

I've thought of four major possibilities for how to do this, and some pros and cons of each. I'm wondering if you guys can point out any I missed?

I seem to have misplaced my phone 😟 I hope I can find it...

Holy shit you guys in you can build level crossings between trains and paths, and the peeps will just bunch up and then cross when the train is gone.

i want to be doing something but i don't actually want to do anything

i guess it's my turn with the depression ball. yay.

bleh... I really need to get a proper webhosting thing where I can do ssl. I can do simple server-side scripts on @SDF but not ssl, and I can do static files with ssl at neocities or github, but I don't have anywhere I can do both.

Look, I try to keep politics under a cut, but I need you all to know that Trump's team is putting together what they're calling the "Fair and Reciprocal Tariff Act", and I think it just speaks to this President that he hasn't noticed or doesn't care that it's the FaRT Act.

hit $2M for the first time :D

I know Zandra is named after @zandra but I like to think Maple is named after @maple and the entire party is just a bunch of rad people

Yaayyy I finally got my favoritest enby on mastodon @Zemyla πŸ’‹ πŸ’œ πŸ’‹

I still wish that in ipv6 people'd settled on /96 as the prefix size for an individual home allocation. "An entire IPv4 internet's worth of addresses" is just warm and fuzzy.

(I'm being sillyly overdramatic, it's not actually a huge scandal)

Gasp, the Undertale runner forgot to do one of the yellow credits! SCANDAL! !
