I'm using this for my mother's website ( https://www.touchofglass.eu/ ), and my only complaint is that it assumes you version a website in a Git repository. You can work around it by uploading a tarball or something like that, but it is far less convenient than using sftp/rsync. But considering that we are far into the free 10GB a month and I only have to update it very infrequently, it seemed like the best solution.

Seriously, no WebDAV?

doesn't seem like a good idea

If you'd like an EU hosted Git Forge to back it, Codefloe offers a free built-in integration with no restriction on personal or private repositories. https://docs.codefloe.com/pages/

Why would i use codefloe and not a more reputable non-profit provider like codeberg/disroot/framagit?

It says it's community owned, but i only see one codefloe team member on the forums and a few people (like you). I didn't find any good community rules or pricing, any political statement about the mission, etc. The only thing i found deep in the comments is that it seems to be for people who don't want FLOSS? Also the pricing mentions mixing a non-profit and a for-profit for the best of both worlds, which as Mozilla has shown is a potentially tragic strategy.

To be clear, i'm in favor of more non-profit hosts. But from reading the site i'm not convinced this one is actually for-profit, what the community stands for, and whether i'm the target audience.

Do you mind sharing what (if anything) you're using to version that website? I'm wondering what folks use instead of git nowadays.

Back in the day people used to build a website without any versioning. Just make it and upload it. Make a change, upload it again.

OT: is Cloudflare not offering Pages anymore? I logged into CF dashboard the other day and was super confused because it appears to be replaced by Workers.

Pages is essentially discontinued and replaced by workers.

Stuff like Astro comes with Workers support.

They also have https://www.cloudflare.com/drop/

Out of curiosity, does a Ltd from the UK counts as EU nowadays after the brexit?

No? This company is based in Sweden, right?

That being said, the only reference to the EU is the domain itself - everything else says European, and the UK didn't move during Brexit.

Wow, your mom is so cool!

"Research has shown that being creative through art projects can help promote stress relief, increase self-esteem, help connect with others, and boost intrinsic motivation. So, participating in mindful art projects can open one's mind to more positive thoughts and offer alternative solutions to life problems."

And wise. Well done publishing the Web site which works without fuss in a calm way.
