Cloudflare launched some alternative (also compatible iirc) to WP built on Astro this year. I haven’t tried it but might be worth a look.

For read-only code sharing, I would say use cgit and a VPS.

If you need a forge with all the bells, grab a copy of Forgejo and modify it to your liking.

Either way, consider using a VPS or a machine you own with Tailscale/VPN. It can be as simple as you'd like it to be.

Most 3D prints are vinyls already! the surface encodes some patterns of the motor movements and medium curing process. Shame it wouldn’t sound very good and there’s no machine to play them.

I’ve talked to some local people who are convinced that panels slowly leach heavy metals into the surrounding ground.

They mainly argue against it on residential & farm land (Midwest USA) for this reason.

Settle for a modest 2TB and spend the rest on ice cream during your rides.

You are correct. Though I’m talking more about never-before-solved in-foreground problems such as: Spotlight Search or SwiftUI List views.
