Its free because the files are already public via GitHub, so it doesn't cost GithHub much extra money to run.

Anyone can go to a public GitHub repo and see the files, right? So if the GitHub Pages website's files are in a public repo, all GitHub has to do is slap a domain name in front of those files.

If a subdomain from a hosting provider works for your use case, then there's nothing wrong with that.

I have 10 years of experience making websites for a living for huge tech companies, and even then I still use ec2-[hash].compute-1.amazonaws.com as the domain name for a gaming website I run for just my friends.

If you don't care about professionalism or SEO then its fine.

I'm pro-choice, but I don't agree it's that black and white.

I don't support, for example, the right for a MAGA doctor to feed a patient bleach or ivermectin as a COVID cure. I also think the FDA should exist.

definitely doctor's should preform the Abortion when it is necessary to save the woman's life

But this is absolutely true. Its wrong for the goverment to restrict or dissuade scientifically proven effective medical care.

I never get tired of either of these memes.

"Police say". Right... Let's review what we know.

"It was [a] very loud voice, then suddenly everything got silent and again somebody was screaming," Jaiswal recalled. "I was so afraid. It was just next to my window, but I couldn't get up and see."

Why wouldn't the witness describe the sound of a car crashing into something?

The vehicle attempted to leave and pinned the officer.

Right because when I'm making a getaway, I focus on pinning the cop against a wall, not driving away.

Police are not releasing any additional information

Mmmh. Don't cops love saying if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear?

We don't have all the facts yet - obviously if a person was trying to kill a cop by driving their car into them then deadly force is warranted. But I'm instantly skeptical in this situation.

If you don't have SOME domain name, then people can only visit your site with an IP address.

Additionally, you pretty much have to have a domain name if you want HTTPS encryption - if you don't have an HTTPS certificate, people's browsers will show lots of scary warning indicators on your page.

But if you're asking about buying your own domain name (firstname-lastname.com) vs. using a subdomain from your hosting provider (myblog.wordpress.com) then it comes down to preference. Having your own domain will make you look more professional and get you more clicks on average.

My answer assumes:

1. "personal website" means you want a blog with a few static pages
2. "moderate technical knowledge" means you know how to use a CLI and write some basic JS/CSS.

For this use case, I highly recommend a static site generator framework like Hugo.

Make a repository on GitHub for your Hugo website, and set up your content as markdown files inside the repository.

Then, hook your Hugo website's repository up to a managed static site hosting solution like AWS Amplify or GitHub Pages. Finally, set up your website's domain name and you're done.

Once these pieces are set up your authoring workflow is:

1. Open your Hugo website locally from a local copy of the Git repo and edit the markdown files to change the content of your site
2. Once you're happy, commit the result
3. Amplify / Github pages will automatically pick up the change and redeploy your site with the new content

And that's it. There's no servers to maintain, so the only upgrade you have to do is keep Hugo and any dependencies up to date within your repo.

No sarcasm necessary. This is literally how tech industry employment works.

This has nothing to do with technology.

Cool. So they'll launch it "loose" and then tighten it. We all know the playbook by now.

There's child porn on the internet. Let's ban the entire internet to stop it.

At least then I won't have to read your dumb thoughts anymore.

You're exactly the kind of person who would beg to shut down central park because someone got mugged there, just like he talks about in the article, which you clearly didn't read.

The battle for Omegle has been lost, but the war against the Internet rages on. Virtually every online communication service has been subject to the same kinds of attack as Omegle; and while some of them are much larger companies with much greater resources, they all have their breaking point somewhere. I worry that, unless the tide turns soon, the Internet I fell in love with may cease to exist, and in its place, we will have something closer to a souped-up version of TV – focused largely on passive consumption, with much less opportunity for active participation and genuine human connection. If that sounds like a bad idea to you, please consider donating to the Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organization that fights for your rights online.

I lived in China for a few years and the number of Chinese people who think they can speak English is a lot different than the number of people who actually can speak English and be understood by other English speakers.

I'm from the PNW and I read this thinking "mmhmm yep I could see how that could happen."
