This actually is the broadest audience of those who watch YouTube. And it’s the same for me. I use private relay, incognito mode, a cookie less browser and still get shown about the same as you get, but more European-esque. Like some YouTuber cooking or whatever.
Lighting. You want your overhead or main lights to be bright enough to see clearly, but low enough so as to not be overpowering.
Also, discreet points of light distributed around REALLY amps things up. Use some gentle light to highlight a photo or painting, put a lamp on a table, a tchotchke on a shelf that is lighted or hides a small light to add a soft glow to the shelf it’s on… these kinds of light add warmth and character to a space easily and cheaply, and if you can manage to have them all accessible via your favorite digital assistant, power and dimming can be convenient as well.
I do secret Santa with my family so I only have to get my cousin a gift. He built a race car in the past year so I had a guy on fiverr make artwork of it and then had it printed and framed
If you are looking for true low maintenance, avoid needing a DB. So I’d stay away from the WordPress suggestions. Not to mention keeping WordPress CVE free is often a full time job and the opposite of low maintenance.
I’d use one of the many tools out there that takes Markdown and coverts it to HTML, stick that in a basic CI job on Gitlab or Github to build out my HTML and I just write markdown.
Once that’s in place how I would decide if I wanted a custom domain.
If I don’t need a custom domain, then I can just augment the pipeline to publish to Gitlab/Github pages.
If I want a custom domain then it depends on budget and expected traffic, but I’d likely just put it on an ECS container or in an S3 bucket and shove cloudfront in front of it, because if it’s small enough it will likely qualify for free tier AWS. If it’s too big for free tier then I’d stick with a container but likely either put it on a cheap cloud node with Apache and letsencrypt and one of the smaller providers like Linode/DO/Vultr
Appreciate the breakdown! Ngl though you lost me at the end with the ECS container/S3 bucket stuff (as in, I dunno what ECS is, I think S3 bucket may be something akin to a VPS? but yeah), but that may just be an indicator it’s much more than I’d probably need/want for my interests.
