    Self-hosting my own blog has been a joyful experience of, every six months, getting reported that images fail to load on old posts because of a tweak to Nginx configs for the HTTPS site at some point in the arbitrary past. When did we make the Internet so ()#%(& complicated.

        Not for the first time I am reminded that I successfully got a site to render HTML and images when I was in 6th grade using AOL and now that I'm 37 and a professional at this it sometimes breaks in fun new ways that require me to do semi-material engineering work to fix.

        I have never had anything like this happen to me. Not once in ~15 years. I'm really curious how you managed to create such a fragile configuration.

        It's a legacy software story. Do you really want me to inflict a legacy software story on the world via Twitter?

        I wrote a web server that can help with that: https://caddyserver.com  - the HTTPS is automatic and on by default.

        I guarantee Caddy will take away the pain of HTTPS and will make configuration of the whole site easier. I read a lot of your posts, and I find them helpful. So let me know if you encounter any problems or want a personalized quick-start, I'd be happy to help with the transition!

        Hosting your own email server is a similar experience. A house of cards of DNS records, daemons, signatures and keys. Keeping it from collapsing under its own weight is an art.

        But it's simpler than ever to have a blog, self-hosted or not. Newer servers such as https://caddyserver.com/  even set up everything for you and let you have a markdown blog directly on the web server, no runtime/compile needed! Isn't it easier than before? Nginx is not new!
