russ_bain Hi all, I'm Russ. I'm new here.
#
russ_bain Who do you all use for hosting personal sites?
#
[tw2113_Slack_] digitalocean for my "serious" ones, and dreamhost for some offshoot domains i have created
#
russ_bain what's an offshoot domain
#
[tw2113_Slack_] single purpose quickies
#
[tw2113_Slack_] For example this single file site that just does Google/DuckDuckGo/Ecosia searches https://www.searchbyned.com/

#
russ_bain If I wanted to build a POSSE enabled site, like a scaled down version of arron parecki's site, that would likely have very low traffic, would you expect there to be a noticeable performance difference between digialocean and dreamhost?
#
russ_bain By 'very low" I mean basically myself and maybe on a busy day 20 other people
#
[tw2113_Slack_] probably not
#
russ_bain thanks
#
[tw2113_Slack_] i know Dreamhost is fully capable to handle traffic
#
russ_bain Especially the mad levels of traffic I'm going to generate ;-)
#
russ_bain I have a couple of domain names in mind: "russbain.me" and "russba.in" -- any thoughts?
#
[tw2113_Slack_] i'd probably personally err towards the first one, as the latter could be potentially misread as "russian" which well...hot topic
#
russ_bain Hmm, yeah. Good point. Hadn't noticed till you pointed it out.

#
[tw2113_Slack_] in terms of rooms within, here's a general list of the ones i found most interesting: cybercafe, digicafe, projects info/discussion, ideas-feedback, webring, zine, tehc-general, internet discussion, webweaving, old-web, alt-socila, othern-net-protocols, linux-foss, movies-shows, nostalgia, games, reading, holidays, share your art/website etc, graphics-buttons, links-resources, memes, music, help, html-css-rss, php-javascript
#
[tw2113_Slack_] honestly, a pretty good diverse mix
#
[tw2113_Slack_] bed time for me though
#

#
[tw2113_Slack_] What Peter linked
#
[tw2113_Slack_] And yeah it was pretty active even for late night for me. One reason I'm not logged in to discord all day. Unread notifications drive me nutty. Thankfully they have “Mark all read” options

#
[tw2113_Slack_] I recently got my export of photo data from Flickr, and plan to eventually submit them to https://wordpress.org/openverse/
#
[tw2113_Slack_] at least the minimum good quality ones. some of my flickr content is with really crappy photos
schmudde, gxt, angelo, hoschi-it, Sadale and alephalpha0 joined the channel
#
Murray yeah, the removal/limit on private posts is a real shame. Still trying to work out what to do about that :(
