Thanks for posting this! My website is currently down and I'm in the process of fixing it.


2020 and it’s still takes work to keep a website up, even if it’s simple. I feel your pain.


How are you hosting this?


HostPapa. I contacted them and they said it was a problem with their server, so I can't do anything about it sadly.


Yeah, imho, make something that generates static pages and then you have any host of options with (nearly) infinite scale -- s3/cloudfront, etc. And it's still pretty simple.


Since it looks like it's just GatsbyJS client, may I suggest GitHub Pages?


That's a good idea, in the beginning I had no idea how hosting works so I just went with HostPapa, but now I am considering switching.


I can highly recommend Github pages, which I use for https://blog.jeaye.com/

The HN hug of death has never brought it down, since Github handles all of the scaling.


If you use gh-pages [1], then it's as simple as `gh-pages -d public`.

I actually recommend Gitlab pages. I prefer their allowance of private repos. I made a guide [1] on how to switch from Github to Gitlab pages. I use Gitlab for my static sites and Github for my source.

I think it's working now.


Really making your own case, huh?


I really like this take. Haven't thought about sustainable emotions much, but this hits the mark.


It's nice to hear that you've found some peace! There's no point in being the best if you will crash and burn quickly.


AH yes that is exactly what I meant! I love the examples you put out here.


I see your point. I meant it more as a method to quickly get started on a task without having to think too much, but I realize that having to select the easiest part might be too much thinking already. I'll add a footnote for that.


Oh that's a good one, thanks for sharing!


Nice to see it works for others as well. And thanks for sharing how you code while thinking less, it's interesting to see how this can be applied to different areas in life.


That's true nothing ever follows a straight line from where you start to where you want to end up. You can't get away from the oscillating, but I do believe you can minimize it through practice and techniques.


Interesting, I've never had that work for me. I would just go to sleep.


That's a good technique for removing all possible excuses. It might take some effort in the beginning to actually follow the reminders, but as you said, after some training it becomes easier.
