Apologies for the laziness here, but I self-host a WordPress site with a bunch of old blog posts that are now private. I'm not ready to make it an offline archive yet (maybe I'll restart blogging one day), but I'm not interested in supporting or otherwise using WordPress any more. I don't have any major requirements or plugin dependencies.

What is a good alternative to self-hosting WordPress these days?

Edit: thanks for the suggestions so far. One key requirement is the ease of importing hundreds of WordPress posts from its output format. I don't really want to manually process them all, I did that to get them into WordPress way back when I switched to it.

Wow, they're really churning them out. I've still only seen the first season or two, and I really enjoyed what I saw. I hope the quality remains as high at this speed.

Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature, dude.

It's not a good source, but knowing they got it from there is useful information.

If you're on Lemmy then you're not gonna like the answer... It's ChatGPT.

I feel like Mozilla are in a difficult position. They're reliant on Google to exist, it seems. When they try to do something else to make an alternate revenue stream everyone says to stick to the thing they do that nobody in the world pays for.

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling like this. For what it's worth: happy new year. Perhaps 2025 is the year where you turn things around, maybe even just one thing!

I'm no expert at dealing with things like this, but perhaps there's something you could do to take that first step. Something that doesn't rely on you remembering to do something with other people, or keep communication going, etc. Maybe some sort of hobby like hiking where you can do it alone, and if you do bump into someone else, there's no expectation that you're going to have to maintain a 2-hour conversation with them, or meet up every time you hike. Just a casual nod to a stranger as they go by.

It could lead to you buying new clothes as you're in a different environment. Sunlight (if you're lucky enough to get some in January) can make you feel better. Exercise makes humans feel good. It'll lead to an increase in water intake, unless you're hiking between Starbucks'.

It's just an example that came to mind.

Have you tried therapy? I haven't tried it myself, but I know people who say it helped them.

Or, we tried pulling content to see if we could somehow save money, but the backlash was higher than expected, so we'll try it again in a little while with another show, and eventually we'll just stop bringing it back. Prices will increase.

I found wrapping paper with a lightly dotted grid on the back. So incredibly useful! Whoever came up with that has my eternal gratitude.

Oh, I thought that was just a really inappropriate question. I'm always top, and the sheet is always bottom anyway.

The whole point is for people to get it, though.
