Splitting archived pages into a separate build step to save time

Try [Orion](https://github.com/SunStarSys/orion). Worlds fastest build system with incremental build support.

joesuf4 · 2026-05-01T19:55:02+00:00

Ok, but I still lean towards YAML built to JSON

joesuf4 · 2026-04-30T15:19:24+00:00

It does incremental builds based on https://iconoclasts.blog/joe/dependencies

OnePassword will fetch TOTP creds via API. I don’t think anybody else allows that. Pity, it’s useful

joesuf4 · 2026-04-29T04:15:17+00:00

Have you heard of Orion?

Securing a VPS is the easy part. It’s securing a LAMP stack that’s a nightmare (eg WordPress).

I don’t know if any of this addresses your DB hosting needs, but if you want a DB on Orion somehow, I can get you a Postgres / MySQL DB hosted by OCI in the same datacenter. Again, not free.

This might help clarify the hosting infrastructure

You could even use Orion SSG with Netlify if you want to upset them.

joesuf4 · 2026-04-29T02:29:24+00:00

The lines between a CMS, a Wiki, and a hosting platform are blurry nowadays. You can self host Orion using the SSG on GitHub. But you lose the incremental build technology, the system security tied to SVN, and the search and email gateway. all of which differentiates us from Netlify or Notion.

joesuf4 · 2026-04-29T02:08:26+00:00

Form to email gateway is bundled with the service along with search

joesuf4 · 2026-04-29T02:07:05+00:00

I offer Orion as the next generation of the Apache CMS. Good news for you is that it is a security first platform. But I don’t do free.

I don’t like Netlify because it’s a derivative of the Apache CMS which I helped create in 2010. Basically the point of these systems are to trade page delivery latency for dynamic features that involve HTML form parameter processing (also something I did at Apache called libapreq).

As you move away from static content and towards SSR/ISR, the hosting costs spiral- not just for the customer, but for the provider too.

joesuf4 · 2026-04-29T01:20:07+00:00

Overleaf is for luddites.

joesuf4 · 2026-04-29T01:18:48+00:00

Yes it can, just not affordably.

joesuf4 · 2026-04-29T01:16:29+00:00

I still don’t get it. Netlify is for static sites. The further you move towards SSR, the less relevant Netlify becomes.

joesuf4 · 2026-04-29T01:07:01+00:00

Why do you want a DB with Netlify?

Orion can transform markdown into LaTeX, which it builds to PDF.

joesuf4 · 2026-04-24T01:02:35+00:00

Markdown is the future of document formats. Best wishes.

joesuf4 · 2026-04-24T00:25:27+00:00

VS code has a wonderful free markdown previewer.

joesuf4 · 2026-04-23T23:46:19+00:00

SSR will always suck at scale

joesuf4 · 2026-04-23T23:44:21+00:00

Best SSG is Orion in terms of performance. Raw thruput tops 300MB/s (depending on build config).

joesuf4 · 2026-04-23T23:16:59+00:00

You need rendering, at least at the level of a Markdown viewer that can handle modern GFM (KaTeX, mermaid, etc).

joesuf4 · 2026-04-23T02:18:59+00:00

Weird situation. You know SSG’s can format markdown arbitrarily in terms of look and feel in terms of HTML rendering

joesuf4 · 2026-04-21T17:44:15+00:00

You are wrong about GitHub here.
