Also mal wieder aus dem Grafana-Stromverbrauchs-Tracking fischen, wann das Wasser fertig gekocht hatte. npub15pc5vt5kqgr60g389gl4n5zzuktz8wezz76klym9ew3puy3p8clqckhvce scy We're used to index.html being the file that's displayed when requesting what's actually a folder over HTTP. npub15pc5vt5kqgr60g389gl4n5zzuktz8wezz76klym9ew3puy3p8clqckhvce scy Oh, nice, Codeberg Pages supports proper HTTP redirects these days! npub15pc5vt5kqgr60g389gl4n5zzuktz8wezz76klym9ew3puy3p8clqckhvce scy I'm a proponent of static websites. Most generators use a folder structure with Markdown files and other assets as the input. npub15pc5vt5kqgr60g389gl4n5zzuktz8wezz76klym9ew3puy3p8clqckhvce scy So, if you care about the _content_, if you care about the web as a _publishing_ platform (and not something providing a streamlined, feature-rich, pixel-perfect "experience"), you should focus on making your site available for as many browsers and users as possible. npub15pc5vt5kqgr60g389gl4n5zzuktz8wezz76klym9ew3puy3p8clqckhvce scy There will be basically one software to access the web (Chrome and its derivatives), one entity to de-facto dictate the content (by choosing which standards to implement and which sites to add to blocklists "for safety reasons"). npub15pc5vt5kqgr60g389gl4n5zzuktz8wezz76klym9ew3puy3p8clqckhvce scy That being said, I feel like "the web" as in "open standards, and sites are being built with interoperability and semantic content in mind" is basically almost lost anyway. These days, we're building pixel-perfect web "applications". npub15pc5vt5kqgr60g389gl4n5zzuktz8wezz76klym9ew3puy3p8clqckhvce scy I haven't given this a lot of thought, but hear me out for a moment: npub15pc5vt5kqgr60g389gl4n5zzuktz8wezz76klym9ew3puy3p8clqckhvce scy This is great. npub15pc5vt5kqgr60g389gl4n5zzuktz8wezz76klym9ew3puy3p8clqckhvce scy "Havarierter Frachter mit Ammoniumnitrat an Bord sucht Hafen in Nordeuropa"
