blog! “Can you meaningfully measure how environmentally friendly a website is?”

Think global; act local. That's the mantra, right? I can't stop coal plants belching out suffocating pollutants, but can I ensure my website is as environmentally friendly as possible?

There are several services which claim…

Online Tracking is Out of Control—#PrivacyBadger Can Help You Fight Back
Every time you browse, you're being tracked. Most #websites contain invisible tracking code companies use to collect and monetize your online activity. Many of those companies are #databrokers, who sell your information to anyone willing to pay. That’s why #EFF created #Privacy Badger, #free, #opensource #browserextension used by millions to fight #surveillance and take back control of their data.

Non-EU sites giving you this welcome ...

That "legal reason" argument... is bul***t

Their legal reasons is that they are not allowed to track you without your knowledge and your consent. And that is why they block you when you're visiting the site from EU. Because #GDPR requires sites to notify you of such possibilities.

The solution is simple: DON'T TRACK!

But there's no money in that. And if they had allowed you to visit and ignore GDPR they fear the EU would chase them down and give them a solid fine.

So if they can't earn money on you or they risk getting a fine when you visit their site, they rather tells you to «F*** of*!» and go somewhere else.

That's how valuable the tracking is for them. And it gives you nothing back.

So "legal reasons" .... yeah, right!

Every once in a while, I read my old blog posts that link to other articles or blogs. 99% of those sites are now offline or show a domain-for-sale page. It kind of makes me sad. Most of my own websites are still online after 20+ years. I wonder why they gave up.

That being said, this instance will be online forever - I'll make sure of it. Even after my passing, I want it to live on. My websites have survived even when hosting companies went bankrupt, and so will this instance.

I'm looking to migrate our website domains to services not owned by google/squarespace, and our web host to something cheaper than bluehost.

It's just a simple wordpress website for a card game, Penguinslap.com. We don't really get any traffic at all. Very occasionally we make a sale, and those links redirect to a PayPal site.

Any suggestions?

"In an age of information overload & an increasingly commercialized web, #artists of all types are the people to help. Artists can think expansively about what a #website can be. Each #artist should create their own space on the web, for a website is an individual act of collective ambition." — Laurel Schwulst

To anyone aching for renewed inspiration about everything our #websites can be, read & re-read this: https://thecreativeindependent.com/essays/laurel-schwulst-my-website-is-a-shifting-house-next-to-a-river-of-knowledge-what-could-yours-be/

Does anyone on fedi know an easy way to have an article with two separate translations on a webpage?

i.e. i have an article in one language, and i can click a button to change the text to another (prewritten) translation.

Hey #fedihire universe , like to work with a freelancer passionate about:

- #Django, doing it since 2007
- #JavaScript (preferably vanilla) since 1999
- and I love to speed up and optimize #databases, for speed, space, etc.
- fast, speedy, slim and very usable #websites (MPA but with SPA feel)

So I am backend and frontend experienced and love to help.
#Impact #startups preferred.

A simple development question for those experienced with building static websites from generative tools. Given these 3 major options to select from, do you have a preference?

Needs to be robust, flexible, as bulletproof as possible, secure, and can be easily maintained.

As previous post I’m in the last few days of moving about 60 #websites to a new server. Today was meant to be the last day, moving the main domain over. It went utterly tits up.

Set up the main domain and its subs on the new server, move all files over, then updated the DNS. 10mins later the server hit max load with swap file at 99.8%!

Hours trying to work out the issue found nothing, eventually reverted all DNS. Tomorrow I’ll start changing DNS entries one at a time.

Oh for heaven sake Does anyone know of a website that is free or a low fee for posting a Room for Rent for myself? Please let me know. Thanks
