Hey #indieweb - looking for recommendations for static #hosting. Optimally I'd like to pay a couple of bucks a month (<$8? <$5?) to host < 1 GB of static files - it's normally very low transfer, though with scrapers these days who knows. I don't really need any scripting or email or anything fancy, just a place to scp files to. I want both the company and the servers to be based in Canada or friendly countries. Smaller companies welcome. What do you use and like?

We’re excited to announce that, from Monday, we’re going to be the new admins of IndieWeb.social!

We’ve always loved how @tchambers has run IndieWeb.social. His direction has made it one of the best instances on the Fediverse!

Thanks to Tim for his trust in us to provide a safe and secure home for the server into the future.

It's been a few years since I built my website using Jekyll. It's starting to get stale. I learned a lot about IndieWeb while setting up, so I don't regret using it!

But the overhead of the build is starting to get to me. Longing for something that I perceive as simpler - paid services like micro.blog or omg.lol - or maybe 11ty. Not sure I can give up control to a paid service for my main site.

How to get my blog updates in a feed that contains only what you want to see.

1) get a free RSS reader app. If you're on iOS, NetNewsWire and feeeed is good. on Android, feeder. On desktop; Lifrea or Fluent (there are many others).
2) copy paste this link:
honora.neocities.org/RSS.xml
3) Click "new" and paste it in your RSS reader.
4) you now receive a link to my blog posts with a short preview of what it's about, and a link to the full post.

(I finally figured it out!).

So if Section 230 gets repealed (ugh), my understanding is:

1. You can post anything you want on your own website and are personally liable for it.

2. If you host comments (syndicated or otherwise) you could be liable for what's said in those.

So the answer might be an #indieweb style interconnected blogosphere (yes, I said blogosphere) and more peer to peer style interfaces for #activitypub etc.

ok maybe i should give yall a proper intro on me #introduction

if i get the inspiration i work on static websites, most notably my personal site, dokokashira.nl (that needs to be updated asap because of how many outdated things there are

still morphing and trying to discover myself now that i have a proper environment to do so

Just renewed the Libre.fm domain name for another year.

Thank you to everyone who donated in the last year and a big thank you to the people who have a recurring donation.

libre.fm/donate.php if anyone wants to chip in.

The main costs right now are a domain name and offsite backups for the data.

Right now our hosting costs are basically $0 but I am looking at getting a pair of dedicated servers to improve performance and that’s going to cost $100 a month or so.

Some great points here about email newsletters — including that email open stats are starting to become unreliable due to AI and big tech like Apple screwing around with the inbox (no, email is not immune to enshittification!). All this is part of why I moved away from calling my site Cybercultural a "newsletter". I'm not exactly sure how to define Cybercultural currently, but it will involve fediverse as a community-driver going forward. #IndieWeb #WebLife2025
