The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@johneas10 @Netlify I'm afraid that this is not possible.
We can transfer domains out. But not in. (since we are not a direct registrar)

@paulrobertlloyd @bastianallgeier @Netlify That is not our goal, plan, strategy or roadmap.

I understand the observation and caution, and we've exchanged thoughts on this before. But how does one ever use any service if the concern is that the good places will *always* get purchased by the bad?

@brendandawes @bastianallgeier @Netlify The free tier is a valuable way to experience and gain confidence in the platform. But if your site is business critical, perhaps then consider one of the paid tiers which can provide SLAs and are where Netlify make $.

Also, #jamstack sites are super portable (but don't go! 😭)

@erikras @Netlify Using Netlify Large Media for the management of the assets in your repo won't change your bandwidth usage or limits when serving the files up.

Those limits and costs are summarised here: https://www.netlify.com/blog/2019/02/26/netlify-and-bandwidth/

@SaraSoueidan @duncanmacgregor @Netlify @deployhq ...@Netlify would not serve a site using MySQL. Instead, sites which depend on content in a CMS, use a decoupled model and pull the content in from a headless CMS at site build time.

If data is required at request time, we'd typically use #serverless functions and a DBAAS.

@SaraSoueidan @duncanmacgregor @Netlify @deployhq 👋
That's right @duncanmacgregor, @Netlify will pull your code, run your build in a CI/CD environment, and then deploy the output to our global CDN. The model is to pre-build the site so it runs entirely from the CDN with no origin server to maintain.

@plambweb @kentcdodds @Netlify Ha! I hear that!

I ended up with a domain that was not particularly short, but felt meaning full to say/hear (which suited my needs, when using it in presentations)

@sebastienlorber @superpatell @Netlify Ha. Sorry. Several threads. Few characters 😀

A good start is reducing the attack surface by pre-building sites and removing the webservers from the scenario at request time. Beyond that, serving from a CDN which can withstand the failure of several global cloud platforms is..💪

@superpatell @sebastienlorber @Netlify In the 1st instance, you'd need to manage all assets deployed into an external CDN from Netlify's CDN, treating it like an origin. Netlify does all of that for you already with millisecond speeds for cache invalidation on global atomic deploys.

The 2nd depends on the other CDN.
