While https://melroy.org is using Jekyll https://gitlab.melroy.org/melroy/melroy-site. And my blog https://blog.melroy.org is using Hugo https://gitlab.melroy.org/melroy/melroy-blog
I'll look at those, do you suggest selfhosting webpages over something like GitHub?
I do. I love to self host everything I can. I like to have control over my own data. I host my own GitLab instance. I host my own Nextcloud instance. Running Mastodon, Kbin, Matrix, you name it.. All my DNS records point to my server IP.
ps. I'm also a contributor to kbin.
How do you feel about Cloudflare Zero Trust?
I don't like that the whole world need Cloudflare to be honest. My vision of a free and open WWW should not include a big centralized corporation like Cloudflare. Instead of fixing the Internet and DDoS attacks, we just move all to Cloudflare?
Whether it's zero trust or WAN, CDN or firewall solutions. I want everyone to be able to participate in the internet, to run their own infrastructure ideally without Cloudflare or cloud services in general. In fact, that is why I also try to create https://libreweb.org. The world needs a better internet, whatever that may look like.
I do want to move closer and closer to completely selfhosted for anything possible, but the knowledge required seems to never end, so I settle for things like Cloudflare Zero Trust to fill in the gaps.
yea it's a shame.. I don't blame you. The current Internet has just became too complex. Too vulnerable. Too many attack vectors. You need to know about web-servers, various package managers, load balancing, firewalls, DNS, automated IP banning tools/DDoS protection, horizontal scaling, vertical scaling, Kubernet, Docker, security; updates, automated updates, various HTTP headers, TLS/SSL, various encryption configurations and versions, ciphers, you name it..
I actually doubt if Zero Trust is tackling all of the security aspects.
