There's a case to be made, realistically speaking, that using a well-known framework or even a CMS like Wordpress means less complexity specific to your website to understand for the next person. FTP cough SFTP or Markdown/HTML is definitely not beyond non-technical people to understand and use, but sadly there could be some resistance nowadays I imagine.

I would look into static website generators. Sadly I'm not sure what is most reliable nowadays, but I would prioritize easy of use and installation, as speed is probably meaningless on your scale. Here's a random article.

There is !linuxmemes@lemmy.world and !linuxmemes@lemmy.fmhy.ml.

I mean... "who needs features in 2022" is onto something. But I use both, for various Nvidia and laziness related reasons, and have a dim idea what they do inside, as probably most flamers on the topic.

Obvious things I don't see mentioned:

• Bash scripts kept in the home directory or another place that's logical for them specifically.
• history | grep whatever (or other useful piping), though your older commands are forgotten eventually. You can mess with the values of HISTSIZE and HISTFILESIZE environment variables in your system.

They may not expose the actual PDF to you at all, just some software rendering of it. In that case I'd focus on making screenshotting efficient. Find a program that lets you save the whole screen to file automatically at once (one button press), or use Firefox ctrl+shift+s -> click on the page area -> save -> enter.

So far it seems that known bans (except the universal one for lemmygrad) are motivated by behavior of the users, not the contents on the instance. I hope it will stay this way. They do not have to read it, you can even hide NSFW here and it works. The other instances are not advertisers who fear NSFW the most.

By flocking to instances doing defederation you encourage this behavior and eventually they are/will be the most happy to ban stuff inside. I am happy to comment from here anywhere, including beehaw etc. (which we still can), but won't bother to make accounts on closed silos.

As one user I don't think you can "strategize" better than picking an open instance that is not overrun by trolls and vandals. I think this one is good enough?
