I'm curious about whose website this is. Does this person make one-off informational pages? This security.html page has one style, then there's popular_self_hosting_services.html with a different style, and the homepage with a classic, basic HTML style.

I haven't read the article yet -- I can't say if it's good info or bad info. But it's nice to know something about who's writing it when it comes to this kind of thing.

I think they have a lemmy account as I first saw them here, although I don't think OP is the site author.

Their javascript "game in less than X lines" stuff is pretty interesting and entertaining but their blogposts are mostly LLM slop. Of course, due to the fact that this article is just basic info, it's not that bad and is pretty accurate. But their more advanced blogposts begin to fall apart and have the LLM hallucinations, outdated info, and inaccuracies.

This video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40SnEd1RWUU has similar information (though a bit less and doesn't cover some things), but presented in the style of a comedy skit type thing.

This is OP's website. @monica_b1998@lemmy.world

You can see they also have a Reddit account, and they've been posting for 7-8 years. https://old.reddit.com/user/monica_b1998
