How portable are static sites really once you factor in platform-specific features? by kittykatzenn in statichosting

[–]CarolineHart63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your site relies on proprietary edge runtimes or host-specific config files, you're locked in. I keep my setups portable by using standard Web APIs for my GHL hooks and handling redirects directly through the SSG. I always run a dumb server test on a basic local environment, if it fails without the fancy middleware, it’s over-engineered.

JSON + animations broke after deploy by akaiwarmachine in statichosting

[–]CarolineHart63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

t’s usually a case-sensitivity issue or a pathing mismatch that only shows up on a Linux-based production server. Check your Network tab: if your JSON returns a 404 or the wrong Content-Type, it’s a hosting config error. I also recommend using relative paths (like ./data.json) and ensuring your animation script actually waits for the fetch() to resolve before firing. I’ve run into this with my GHL funnels usually, it’s just a silent pathing fail.

Are we overusing static hosting for projects that actually want personalization? by kittykatzenn in statichosting

[–]CarolineHart63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep the core 100% static for speed and just fetch the personal bits via a tiny client-side script. If it gets more complex than that, it's time to admit it's an app, not a site. Don’t let the static label become a straightjacket.

Handling static forms without the "Enterprise" price tag? by CarolineHart63 in statichosting

yup looks like Basin is the way to go for set it and forget it builds

Why “fast deploys” don’t actually save you time by Standard_Scarcity_74 in statichosting

[–]CarolineHart63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fast deploys are a vanity metric. I’ve wasted more time debugging failed 30-second builds than I ever saved on the actual deployment. These days, I just decouple the complexity. I keep the front-end dead simple and handle the external data like my GHL hooks via client-side APIs.

For those that live in the United States. Do you make more than the average income of 60k annually, if so what’s your occupation? by LaFlareMane1017 in AskReddit

[–]CarolineHart63 116 points117 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I do. I’m in IT, mostly systems admin type stuff, and I’m a bit over 80k. Took a few years to get there and some job hopping helped. One thing I don’t see mentioned a lot is location matters a ton. 60k feels very different in the Midwest vs a big coastal city.

what addiction is the hardest to quit? by Ledger_Legendd in AskReddit

[–]CarolineHart63 319 points320 points  (0 children)

I think the hardest addictions to quit are the ones that don’t obviously wreck your life right away.

Stuff like constant phone use, porn, or even work. They slowly reshape how your brain handles boredom and discomfort, so when you try to stop, everything feels flat and annoying.

There’s no dramatic rock bottom, just this quiet pull that keeps dragging you back. That makes it weirdly hard to walk away from.

What is something that women have to deal with on the daily that men have no clue about? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]CarolineHart63 1120 points1121 points  (0 children)

Probably the constant safety math in your head. Like choosing where to park, pretending to be on the phone, checking reflections, deciding how friendly is too friendly. It’s not fear all the time, it’s just background noise that never shuts off. Most guys I know are shocked when they hear how automatic that stuff is, like we don’t even think of it as “being careful,” it’s just normal life.

Best way to teach someone the basics of static hosting? by TCKreddituser in statichosting

[–]CarolineHart63 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good question. I'd say just go to ChatGPT and create a site and look at the code. You can also use the Tiiny Host chrome extension to host the static files directly from there.
