I agree that GitHub Pages and HTML/JS is the best option, but the Google Cloud free tier is also surprisingly great if you can stay within their generous limits. Each free Google account includes a lot of valuable infrastructure. Though much more headaches. cloud.google.com/free

The recklessness of this admin in dragging the country into a manufactured financial crisis and a potential path toward war is disgraceful. Shame on all who enabled it. This only serves to fuel insider trading, offering nothing of value to the hardworking citizens of this nation.

In a recent Powers That Be podcast on Prigozhin's assassination, Julia Ioffe explores Putin's unexpected tactical approach, likening it to a cat playing with a mouse (e.g., 'Koshka s myshkoy' in Russian). www.danielraffel.me/2023/08/26/k...

With streaming prices on the rise, the underperformance of much of the original content they've invested in is becoming glaringly apparent. If these companies don't act with more caution, they may find themselves facing consolidation. https://danielraffel.me/2023/08/13/streaming-is-full-of-duds/
