I wrote this some time ago. It is rather personal, but maybe some readers will find this useful.
I’m 42, dude. Limited mental energy. I would gladly be part of your server, though ;)
That is way over my head as I am genuinely a non technical user. I tried many times to have a statistic page and every time I failed. It may be hard to believe but some things that are trivial for hackers are not trivial for most people. For years, my domain name was going to waste. So my choice was between having a webpage on someone’s server or none at all. If a professional programmer wish to dedicate their very valuable time to make a static page for me for free, I’m all ears :) Until then, Bear Blog seems rather reasonable.
I would never self host anything myself, as I don’t know how. But there’s a response to that question on the project’s GitHub: https://github.com/HermanMartinus/bearblog/?tab=readme-ov-file#can-bear-blog-be-self-hosted
For years I was the only one in my family that didn’t wear glasses. When the doctor told me I needed glasses, I was so happy. I found glasses distinct, elegant, and, in girls, very very cute (my wife just started wearing glasses… wowza!).
My “real” me, the one I like and recognize in the mirror, has glasses on. And it’s not one of those glasses that pretend they’re not even there – it’s a thick black frame that dominates and complements my face.
I could totally get away with not wearing glasses in some situations, but (1) I like the visual comfort, and (2) I love wearing glasses.
Get the glasses that make you feel like yourself.
Do notice that the point I am trying to make is not that billionaires are good, but rather that it is possible to differentiate between two examples within that group.
I added a new paragraph to the article that will hopefully prevent that misunderstanding going forward.
Thanks for alerting me to the need to be more explicit and clear.
