A few weeks ago there was a blog post on how to write good web links but I can no longer find it
#
mahboubine
did anyone come across it by chance?

do you mean the design of good links on your own site? or how to write good links to others's posts?

I might look into self hosting, are there benefits to doing it this way on your own hardware or is it probably better to use a cloud service to avoid losing access due to power outages/corruption and whatnot?

@bubbybumble basically its a tradeoff for what you just mentioned, it also kinda varies depending on what your doing with the website i.e if it has a database. Also generally you need an extra machine that would have to be dedicated to it. I'd say this is an area where cloud makes sense

what is self hosting
#
Loqi
self hosting is the practice of running the software for your personal website on hardware under your own physical control, typically on a home server, or sometimes refers to only the aspect of running web applications on a (possibly virtual or shared) server under your control but not necessarily in your home https://indieweb.org/self_hosting

just saw tantek's message, I think he left, I meant writing links to other websites
#
mahboubine
since people write "click here" and that's bad for several reasons
#
[r1y]
I try to link the object and any description in a sentence, eg: "I found this really great website about such and such" - I would link "really great website about such and such". sometimes i just link "click here" because i dont think it matters and I also believe some people simply need to be told _where_ to click sometimes πŸ˜‚
