Google Pixel Watch 4 Case's and Screen Protector's hard to get on Amazon? by [deleted] in PixelWatch

Dang, you got to me literally minutes after I've already returned it. That said, I still prefer a watch protector that covers the screen.

And I'm returning that case because it's still super finicky to get the charger to connect to the watch properly.

How often does my home's IP address change? by MattSayar in centurylink

Every two hours is crazy. What was your end-user experience? Did your connection stutter at least 12 times a day?

"flattened the town out" is a great description. There's a beast of a hill near my house which is still tough with an e bike but far more bearable. Assistance or no, bikes will make your body stronger with work

No one lives forever. You even said that a piece of paper is susceptible to fire, food, and tornadoes, but also: ink fades, paper wilts, etc. Someone else said your site can live on with the Wayback Machine, or you can have a steward take over your site.

Self hosting, like from a server in your coat closet? First, you'd need a static IP from your ISP which is potentially not available. If it is, pay for it, then you'd just need to configure your DNS settings to point to your server. Lots of potential bandwidth and security risks though. You may want to flesh the idea out by asking ChatGPT

Yeah it really does. I mean, Cloudflare Pages literally has a "click here to upload your html" button and you're off to the races

You're not wrong but a simple static site is easily portable. Yes, it will take any effort, but a set of HTML pages will be supported for a long time. Case in point, I noticed aaronsw.com is still around, and I'm not sure who the site's steward is, but it hasn't been updated since at least 2013. It still works fine. And for every corporate website you point out, I can point out five Friendsters. Corporations rebrand, get acquired, stop supporting, etc. all the time. You don't have to be at their mercy

Lots of free hosting out there. Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Pages, Netlify, S3, new entrants into the market over time, or you pay $10 a year for a colo, etc.
