sad but hosting static content like his site in a cloud would save him a headache. i know i know, "do it yourself" and all but if that is his path he knows the price. maybe i am wrong and do not understand the problem but it seems like he is asking for a headache.
I think the author would agree, and is in fact the point of his post.
The only way to solve these problems is using some large hosted platform where they have the resources to constantly be managing these issues. This would solve their problem.
But isn't it sad that we can't host our own websites anymore, like many of us used to? It was never easy, but it's nearly impossible now and this is only one reason.
i think it has been a hard to host a site since about 2007. i stopped then because it is too much work to keep it safe. even worse now but it has always been extra work since search engines. maybe the OP is just getting older and wants to spend time with his kids and not play with nginx haha.
My current record is $19 (including shipping!) for two assembled boards of https://github.com/xobs/soundoff which is a little device that shuts off 5V power to a USB-A port when it detects the PC it's connected to goes to sleep.
I've noticed that some things can make the price suddenly skyrocket. Certain PCB specifications for one (though couldn't name anything in particular off hand). The one thing that caught me by surprise was that if I wanted to have JLCPCB solder the ESP32 for me the cost would jump by more than double, and the PCB would have to be physically larger. Something about their "Economic" vs. "Standard" PCB assembly where, for reasons I'm not clear on, the ESP32 could only be done under the latter. I opted to solder that component myself, of course.
using opencv for image diffs is common quick hack, but shadows will ruin this (bright sun all of a sudden), not to mention nonpigeons haha! hate to say it but yolo/ssd work good for this:
i tried to deal with sleeplessness by using multiple 5mg melatonin pills per night and it did nothing and made me fell gross. then my doctor said to cut 3 mg pills in half, and 1.5 mg worked far better than over-dosing myself! but he didn't tell me it was bad for me, but only i was taking TOO much of it.
