Since the beginning, Netlify has been where tommi.space is hosted. It has to be noted, though, that Netlify is no champion of openness, free software, or sustainable infrastructure, hence not a service whose values I completely share. Nevertheless, it is awesome, since at the same time it both has more than what I need, and it is fairly simple. It hurts to say it, but I love it and I am sticking with it, since it really makes much of the work easier.
All of the relatively big files on the website (such as images and podcast audios) are hosted on Storj, and through a couple of tricks they are seamlessly served through Netlify. Storj too has its red flags, since it is based on the blockchain and I am still quite skeptical concerning all of this stuff. But, again, it wonderfully does the work, at least until Cubbit won’t get around static hosting, as Stefano, its CEO, anticipated to me someday it will.
[x] Decide whether Storj is a sustainable and ethical option: no
[x] Figure out a way to handle assets in /, but not present in the repository (hence stored somewhere else). Renaming with a subdomain or with a sub-folder? assets folder is used as pass-through copy
[ ] Write emails to all sustainable VPS providers asking to get the service for free to start a partnership.
