  • Website hosters of Lemmy, which hosting service do you use and why?

  • My fiction writing site (www.gorillarepublic.co) runs off of Grav. I wanted to go DB free, so flat file was big, wanted to avoid WP and Ghost, so this became it. It's fast, light and works for me, thought it needed panel beating to where it is right now.

  • Mercedes E350 2008.

    I wanted an old school Mercedes, but the old 90s S Class would have been too expensive to run so after a bit of research, I came across the W210 and then I realised than a W211 was within reach.

    So I bought it. Been a bit of drama with it. 2 fender benders, parts and maintenance. I DIY a good bit and I am happy with my decision. Gone cross country three times with it and daily drive it on my job which involved driving around 200 miles a day. It's comfortable, fast, and quite reliable.

    I am happy with my decision till a light comes on the dash. Still, cheaper than car payments.

  • This seems to be the way. Panel beating Grav. Dang. Wish it were more friendly, but still much respect to the development team.

  • I have used both WordPress and Drupal and they are pretty good. I leaned towards Drupal more, for its flexibility. Grav is superb for my needs. Lightweight, fast, very few requirements, its the best platform to use for what I am doing. However, for all those benefits, there are limitations, and to me, themeing and documentation are a pain. However, it is the best flat file CMS hands down.

  • Explored them previously, and today as part of my research, but would not work for my current situation. Hugo in the future though may be a potential move.

  • The reason why I picked it was the 2021 award and the previous awards. However themeing has been a pain point for me. Given that my story site is picking up steam, I want to start making it look better and I am still struggling with themeing. Automad themes well, but does not have the plugin/modules I need.

  • Varies between Autozone, FCPEuro, Amazon, Ebay and the junkyard. Saved quite a bit with junkyard parts.

  • What do people that are for the first time moving to a place where is snows need to know?

    Jump

  • My first time driving in snow ever was in January. From Columbia, MD, through DC into Arlington, VA. At 5.30 AM. Big truck guys we the most guys on the snow. I drove a FWD 05 Jetta and drive painfully slowly and made it. Patience and sensibility paid off abundantly.

  • which VPS do you recommend?

    Jump

  • One of the best decisions I made, two years later. 💪

  • Do you selfhost your own blog/website?

    Jump

  • I self host a Grav site among other things on a 15 Euro VPS.

    Also, I started with Ghost but the fact that they locked up the newsletter side of business to a single provider and were unwilling to rework things at the time made me walk away. Yes, I know you could go code side, and add others, but that was a complicated setup in itself. Grav works perfectly for me.
