Rollins died Monday afternoon at his Woodstock, New York, home at the age of 95 and it behooves me to gather up the tributes to his brilliance and illuminate his impact on the music world.

Raised in Blytheville, Arkansas, his band played on Aretha's breakout album and since then he's played with everyone.

Use your raspberry pi or your old system and use duck dns if you don't have a static ip.

Hosting is not expensive and can be done on the $15/year plan, just paying for your domain name.

Own Your own platform. Everything else goes away or gets enshittified.

Except SDF

https://sdf.org

And the Internet Archive

https://archive.org

The Archive go away for a few days at the end of last year.

Soon to be a blog post using my own program, Plain Text Blog.

Thanks

@silverwizard

One of the reason I like static websites is because of the low overhead on the server.

Also you don't have to back up the website because it's already on your computer. Just backup your computer.

And because of this static websites are very portable and can even be run on free hosts. Just be sure to use your own domain so when the free host goes squirelly you can move.

Blogs, audio, video, full websites all have static host solutions.

I'm more into the actually pathetically ignorant.

I love that it's the lisp version that really got popular.

I didn't know that and I also remember Eliza.

I didn't tell the whole joke which is ...

Five OClock in the morning! I thought five OClock only came once a day.
