Well...I've been threatening to write a blog post about why are better for kids than 'normal' ones, and I finally did it 😅

clubb.cymru/2024/04/25/linux-m

@jason123santa yes apologies, it normally gets zero hits a month ago I assume the host has degraded all the specs

@davidoclubb A cheap vps might be worth looking into. It would require manual setup but the output would be that your website should support the amount of visitors your site is getting.

@jason123santa It's on Krystal which has always been spot on for me in the past...I think it's ok again now but let me know if there are more problems!

@davidoclubb You should look into optimizing your website a bit to handle the amount of visitors your getting. With $9 a month you could go with a vps if you keep having issues but it requires you set it all up yourself. Since its just a static blog I am thinking some static site host might work the same as wordpress for you.

@jason123santa Going static is on my list but I'm running a small business, doing infrastructure stuff, two kids, lots of pro bono interests...I will get there, and thankyou, I really appreciate your thoughts!!

@davidoclubb Well I don't know much since my site does not get much visitors. But you did give me the idea of setting up a visitor counter to see how much visitors my website is getting.

@jason123santa I use hosted on and I couldn't be happier with both

@jason123santa The three websites I manage all have the web stats visible for all visitors 👍

@davidoclubb Newydd orffen darllen e, mae'n wych. Beth wyt ti'n meddwl am rhoi iPhone i blentyn a chloi i lawr yr opsiwn i fewnosod apiau? Byddai hyn yn haws i lawer o rieni. Yr anfantais dwi'n credu ydy bod y plant yn mynd i ddefnyddio Apple pan maen nhw'n hŷn.

@richardnosworthy Diolch Rich! Ti'n gallu gwneud yr un efo Linux ('superuser' yn erbyn 'normal' user), ond mae well da fi addysgu plant sut i defnyddio i trio paratoi nhw yn well am y dyfodol!

Dyw plant fi ddim yn mynd i defnyddio Afal pan maen nhw'n hyn... 😆 Linux am fi am byth, ac am nhw tan maen nhw'n gallu prynu efo arian hunan!

@gavin57 it's been a busy day for my little blog, try in a few minutes...
