downloaded theme?

Yeah, from WordPress.org

linuxmodder: is it self hosted free site or purely a wordpress.com one

No, purely wordpress.com

I don't know how to self host a WordPress site

linuxmodder: Kohane then no

Ah

Damn

I don't like the themes they offer...

linuxmodder: @Kohane do you have disk space on your fedora install in /var/www ?

linuxmodder: and a persistent eth / wifi stable connect ?

Well, persistent...

Most of time, but I don't keep my laptop turned on 24/7

linuxmodder: or can you afford a simple 5-10USD /month droplet or similar from say AWS /Rackspace/DigitalOcean ?

linuxmodder: and a persistent eth / wifi stable connect ?

dont ever recommend someone host their wordpress site on their own pc

Why @Tobias4X ?

linuxmodder: Tobias4X with proper security its not bad ( I have hosted ones locally before)

its literally an "how to host your hdd in the cloud guide"

linuxmodder: Kohane most users are security retards

AWS has a Free Tier for one year, but don't know how will be the performance in the free instance.

I don't like the themes they offer...

I think you have to pay for them - you should be able to install a few free ones on the addons page me thinks

linuxmodder: lack of security == easy peasy powned

@Tobias4X I don't like the paid ones either

linuxmodder: Tobias4x, Kohane the free tier mentioned is 3 weeks of 24/7 on the house / month

linuxmodder: Tobias4X with proper security its not bad ( I have hosted ones locally before)

As in, a docker container in a vm on another pc.

@Tobias4X I don't like the paid ones either

Then you have to go selfhosted or pay somebody else to host it

me thinks

linuxmodder: or 750hours/mo on the free

Ah... Now I understand!

linuxmodder: Tobias4X , Kohane run containers inside /var/www/ or have the content in /var/www and the dbs and such container-ized or on a separate partition/machine

linuxmodder: and for the love of jesus NEVER disabled SELinux on such a setup

linuxmodder: Tobias4X , Kohane run containers inside /var/www/ or have the content in /var/www and the dbs and such container-ized or on a separate partition/machine

Dont.

Dont recommend hosting constantly pwned Applications themselves

linuxmodder: such a setup with selinux=0 is ASKING to be screwed

Especially to someone whos new in webhosting

Infact i dont fucking recommend wordpress in the first place

linuxmodder: Tobias4X, sadly its easier than teaching someone a full backend CMS solution with apache/nginx natively tho

linuxmodder: especially a new user

Know whats easier? Paying a Wordpress hoster

If your site is hacked they are up for it

Know whats easier? Paying a Wordpress hoster

This.

and they have backups and a data center

And not a Way to get into your home network for free

I never recommend using your own network to expose services to the internet.

linuxmodder: Tobias4X MOST of those providers have utter shit network controls Siteground is one such one I have personally had to deal with lately and wanted to kill myself when dealing with them on client's behalf

linuxmodder: again learn sane firewalling and sandboxing and give yourself that control back

Kohane likely wants his personal site up

linuxmodder: again learn sane firewalling and sandboxing and give yourself that control back

With Wordpress no level of firewalling can save you

An alternative could be leaving wordpress for hugo and do free hosting through github

a github page would be an awesome solution to this problem too, yes

And you are just writing a blog anyway, who needs interactivity there

Down with 10mb of js per site! :3

Potential problems could be learning git basics, finding the theme you want and learn how to customize it if it's needed.

linuxmodder: github.io is indeed sweet I have a few I'm rebuilding

Potential problems could be learning git basics, finding the theme you want and learn how to customize it if it's needed.

Themes? You meant: make it on your own :3

linuxmodder: Tobias4x the overall so that the html /css bar is low I think surveyor meant

I meant that there aren't so much theme compared to wordpress. And if you need to add e. g. a widget for the subscribing to a mailing list is not as easy as in wordpress.

Infact i dont fucking recommend wordpress in the first place

Why?

Why?

Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla (together with magento and such) make up the largest part of known vulnerabilities and new ones or zero days sweeping the "cloud" come out every other week

Kohane likely wants his personal site up

I already have a personal site. This is for a friend that maybe, if he likes it, will hire me.

If he hires for wordpress customisation i dont recommend working there

Aha. Well, I hadn't problems with WordPress so far.

its an ungrateful job

Just because you didn't

Doesn't mean it's safe

Aha. Well, I hadn't problems with WordPress so far.

The Idea behind a rootkit spamming on your site is that you dont see or know its there

Ah

ERROR: S client not available

My site doesn't receive more than 2 hits per day, so I don't really care lol

Some react to google links only (meaning you that boolmarked the site likely wont see it) but any google visitor will see another site instead

Well, I made a question and you're all replying things that are completely unrelated.

Thats the latest crap we had to deal with - of course infecting all sites at once

Well, I made a question and you're all replying things that are completely unrelated.

Paid Hosting by a wordpress hoster

everything else will be a pain in the butt

If he hires for wordpress customisation i dont recommend working there

I don't mind. I get paid, I'm with my laptop. It's not like I have a lot of job offers from where to choose.

Paid Hosting by a wordpress hoster

Okay. Got it. But I won't spend money just for the chance of getting hired, it makes no sense. I just want to make a site, interesting and good looking so he feels it worth to send some money to his designer friend. That's all. If it works out, I'll pay for hosting, no problem, but not right now.

github pages

free

and you can show off actual web design skills

not "i can click buttons"

Mmm...

That sounds like a lot of work...

That sounds like a lot of work...

Guess what web design will be

But I'll give it a try.

not "i can click buttons"

Or, you can just pick a blank html 5 theme and work on it, easier

frontend will require a lot more knowledge than pushing wp theme buttons :3

Or, you can just pick a blank html 5 theme and work on it, easier

boilerplate, of course

Mmm... I'll see. But lot of unpaid work doesn't sounds attractive to me.

But I'll give it a try anyway

Oh i need to invite you to a certain group, a former ms employee would now tell you to keep your head out of coding if not even the prospect of a job can make you code yourself in your free time

No, no, no, thanks.

Coding and webdesign is a job where without the passion to do it fully in your free time -too- you dont need to start

Okay

Got it

I take the Github page

Hahaha

Yeah, you're right @Tobias4X

I'll let you know how it works once I have it set it up.

If you need help i'm sure poeple around here can lend a hand, i'll certainly try once family time is over
