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!

Recommend moving the a static site rendered blog on Netlify... no servers to configure, just a build pipeline
