Notes

Field notes and checklists.

Keeping a static site portable

Use relative assets, predictable filenames, simple cache rules, and a clear 404 page. Portability matters more than cleverness for small sites.

Maintenance checklist for small services

Check disk space, certificate renewal, service status, recent logs, backups, and whether the public page still behaves as expected.

Why boring pages age well

Plain HTML and CSS load quickly, break rarely, and remain readable across browsers and devices. Boring infrastructure is often a feature.
