Nerd wanted!

My hosting solution just sent me the "updated" invoice for next year and they are out of their fucking corporate minds. So rather than giving them more money, I was thinking it would be nice to pay some self-hosting hacker type (furry or not) and support weird and small rather than large and capitalist.

I would need the following:
- the fairly lightweight website orsom.eu reliably online (all html/CSS with a tiny bit of JavaScript, quite low traffic, okay just using FileZilla for access)
- a couple of email addresses with 5-10 GB of storage (a webmail client would be a plus for emergencies, but just using Thunderbird and K9 is fine)
- EU based (preferably) and better if you can send me an invoice

Do you already have something similar for yourself and don't mind me tagging along for a few years until I have the time to set up self-hosting on my own? Let me know!

Boosts appreciated ❤️

@tino Fastmail might fit your needs if static hosting is ok for the website. Sounded like it might be given html/css/js.

@sigsegv Hm, I'm thinking static is fine but do have some dynamic features that changes the website layout based on browser resolution, in order to make it work both on mobile and desktop alike. Not sure where the line is drawn and all articles I find are way too long, so that'll be for another day 🙃

@sigsegv That is, at the moment I know much too little about static/dynamic websites to say if a media query works. Just got back to website programming after a fifteen year hiatus so am, to say the least, a bit rusty..

@tino my understanding… if the server doesn’t need to execute any code you provide it can be considered static. No database, no server side execution. If the media decisions are made by css/java running in browser then should be fine. But I also haven’t looked closely at this in a long time. I ran Wordpress in the past and took those sites down a few years ago. Have considered putting up static site from time to time but it’s not a priority for me right now.
