A Tale of Two Blogs During today’s “internet” outage, my old personal blog went down. It’s running WordPress on Kinsta, which relies on both Google Cloud and Cloudflare, so it got caught in the disruption. Meanwhile, my newer personal site stayed online. It’s powered by Nostr, hosted on distributed IPFS nodes, and accessible via Ethereum Name Service. Even though the .com version uses Cloudflare, the underlying setup doesn’t depend on Google. Neither site is critical, but the difference is worth noting. This is exactly why decentralisation matters. A single bug from one provider shouldn’t take down half the web.

Added a Links page to my NOSTR powered site. Pulls links from kind 30003 using the `links` or @Nostree label. You can see it in action @ https://danielwonder.com/links/
