The New Year's Resolution I would love to convince as many people as possible to take up:

Start taking back your web presence: Make yourself a website.

You need to own your domain! If your website is at <some-name>.<some-service>.com it's not your site, it's theirs.

You don't need to own the server! In 2026 having your server in your home is made intentionally hard! Renting from someone who does the sys-admin for you is valid!

It does not need to be complicated! A (relatively) simple wordpress site on a rented host is enough.

Then if you want to get fancy there's dozens of site generators and site engines and HTML resources on the web.

If you're comfortable with github and a static site generator, I'm part of Teahouse Hosting ( counter.teahouse.cafe/r/fedive to sign up ) and I am the author of stealthiswebsite.art and you can hire me if you have more money than time.
