I agree with everything here. The internet wasn’t always a constant amusement park.

I’m rather proud of my own static site

With respect to the presentation of your site, I like it! It's quite stylish and displays well on my phone.

If you don’t mind me asking, how are you hosting your site?

[-] banana@thebrainbin.org 2 points 2 months ago

I like your pictures!

[-] otacon239@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Thank you!

If you don’t mind me asking, how do you host your site?

[-] otacon239@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

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.

Well...

Maybe that’s a dark mode thing? I know Dark Reader breaks almost anything with an already dark theme.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 months ago

Lol, no. I made a usercss for this (currently not released) but explicitly disabled it here. But that one uses a base style that switches via @prefers light/dark:

@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
  :root {
    --text-color: #DBD9D9;
    --text-highlight: #232323;
    --bg-color: #1f1f1f;
    …
  }
}
@media (prefers-color-scheme: light) {
  :root {
    …
  }

Guess your site uses one of them too.

I admit I used Publii for my builder. I can’t program CSS for crap. I’m far more geared towards backend dev.

Beautiful, I bookmarked it.

Thank you for sharing.
