Don't overcomplicate posting

I was checking out this software called utteranc.es, thinking about how I can add a comment section to this blog. Not sure if I'll stick with it or implement it. But one thing I noticed is that the copy representing "sites using utterances" are two dead* sites.

Blogs can die very fast, utterances was written in 2017, now it's 2025, those example sites are dead. Do I think my website will last another 8 years? Maybe, hopefully - I'll be in my mid 30's by then!!

shub.club was alive in 2017, but it's been down and deleted many times due to me not wanting to pay hosting bills; now I just coast off of github pages and cloudflare.

Moral of the story - don't pay for hosted software solutions, prepay your domain name for as long as you can, and host your blog for as cheap or free as possible! I love reading old blogs, keep them alive for me.

*sadsloth.net has become an indonesian fake slots website, I have no idea what's going on here. (Look at the image below)
