Um, although I don’t want to cast aspersions based on my own ignorance — who the hell even is Anthony Martino? Is this his first shot at actually making money off his music, by suing a nonprofit?

I will say I did the most basic research into the guy, and according to his wikipedia entry his songs have been featured in some TV shows. Wikipedia also notes that “It is proposed that this article be deleted because of the following concern:lack of notability. Tony seems to have created pages for himself and related projects”, so draw your own conclusions.

Just don’t. If you can’t be arsed making a slideshow yourself, don’t expect others to bother watching it.

A Birmingham-based therapy site seems like an odd source for an essay on a 70 years old avantgarde movement, but whatever gets you into the Situationists, I guess 🙂

Argh! 😰

You’re right, I didn’t dig past a first glance, and I missed [counts fingers] some 60+ years worth of copy/pasting…

Looking good. I have to ask, considering what I have ahead of me — that newsblog going back to 2022, are those all Hubzilla-native posts, or did you import the older ones from another CMS?

Ooh, thanks! That didn’t turn up in my searches. Are you involved with this?

I’ll try to get by with my rusty schoolbook German, and browser translations if needed 👍

I was hoping for advice on the list I’d gathered, but you’re not making it shorter, Julian 😄

Thanks for the offer! I’ll bookmark this and put it forward to my co-admins. I’ll have to look into Wagtail myself a bit, too. 👍

Our first priority will be to migrate the site as fluently as possible to whatever CMS we transition to. Archiving it as HTML and starting from scratch with a new platform — that’s a last ditch effort, I think.

[Edit: I tried to cover the WP fork subject here]

Hugo as a longterm solution isn’t going to float with some of our users, I’m afraid. I can vividly imagine somebody turning the old site into a single “Hello world!” page given that kind of permissions.

We will need strictly limited access for contributors, and a clear, friendly input field for text…

maybe go for a combination of them

This is a very practical solution… until somebody (I suspect me) has to maintain three or more installs instead of one 🙂 But you’re right, this could very well be a way to solve the “one size fits none” conundrum.

As for using a WP fork — the point about the ActivityPub plugin breaking compatibility with ClassicPress makes me wary of this approach. And AFAICT ClassicPress is one of the more reliable WP forks out there? In the long term, I mean.

I’m fine with switching my personal browsers if/when one or the other FF fork turns to the dark side, but I wouldn’t want to hop this site between different WP forks the same way…

Thanks for the suggestions! I realise preserving URLs is perhaps the tallest order here, and that we may have to set up redirection to the new ones.

Failing that, archiving (a static version of) the site could definitely be an option. Considering the long history of the site though, our first choice is continuity over an abrupt break.

And here I thought this was a USpol comment.

Agreed, Nextcloud has gone from a lean little personal cloud to a hulking enterprise hub.

If you’re after something that’ll just sync your files between devices, try Syncthing. If you need files available online, maybe something like filestash or, like somebody else suggested, SFTPgo.

There are also tiny, lean calendar and contact server apps out there if you decide you need those. After self hosting NC for years I’m really happy spreading out the tasks over dedicated services rather than having all my eggs in one basket.
