[tantek] setting your Discord username is more of a statement, an IndieWeb badge of honor as it were.
#
[tantek] my domain is my identity, authenticate me.

chronological[m] Hi everyone, I actually use GitHub as my blog host but i sometimes create backups of the git repositories, how would this low tech solution fit into the indie web?
#
chronological[m] Does everybody host themselves?

jackiejude I do

[aciccarello] I use netlifly with a GitHub repo
#
toastal chronological[m]: I’d like to mirror on my home server, but my blog is hosted on SourceHut Pages. I moved away from Netlify recently since I’m not sure how the lost-leading free tier + VC funding will pan out in the long term.
#
toastal I’m also not a fan of what Microsoft GitHub is trying to do by trying to monopolize all of the developer hosting/tooling. I’d much rather self-host or support something independent than a publically-traded megacorp with its EEE history.

[snarfed] chronological++ sounds good! lots of different hosting options. we care about everyone using their own domain and having access to their data; underneath that we're flexible!
#
Loqi chronological has 1 karma over the last year
#
[snarfed] self hosting is great but definitely not necessary or even "preferred," just one of many options
