As a result of the great CopyFail exploit, spouse decided it was time to review all our various domains and clean up the trail of abandoned ones, and realized that this one was active and being posted to. I hadn't mentioned it because I assumed he would notice right away and then when he didn't I decided not to mention it until he did.

He's been working on a Cypher post-apocalyptic setting (only on his local hard drive, though maybe now I'll finally split Gameropolis into multiple blogs/settings/whatever again), which has made me tempted to mention this to him, but I kept biting my tongue. But now the cat's out of the bag, and I guess I should switch to a blog platform that allows comments or something.

(But being able to run a super-basic static website everywhere means I don't have to freak out when exploits turn up. The site lives on my hard drive, I just upload a new copy every time I post. Worst case, I delete the entire VM and spin up a new one, and the only outage is the time it takes for new DNS to propagate.)

Comments

Spouse, via Discord: I want a static site. I don't want to deal with a comment system and moderation, upgrading software the server, etc. I don't see enough value in comments, though there is that feeling of just "shouting into the void".

Underground Oracle doesn't have a blog... they have social media where they just post ads, and they have a Patreon, where they post "blog posts".
