History questions: which company invented JavaScript?

They need to stop bloating the web, so that browser development stops taking billion dollar budgets.

$11/m is a lot. If you just want a small site on shared hosting, try namecrane.com. For storage use Hetzner Storage Box.

Main thing I want is to override site css. Who cares what the browser itself looks like.

I used proxmox and have played a little with nix and guix, but simplest is just use debian, put /home on a separate logical partition from the system partition so you can reinstall the system without clobbering user files, and as people keep saying, backup early and often.

scrutinize the protocol beforehand.

Sorry but that buys into the data miners’ self serving myths. It implies the protocol is ok unless some failure makes it leak more information than was intended. In fact it’s invasive even if it works exactly as hoped. “Tracking” is a misnomer too. It’s hostile surveillance even if it’s at population level. (Any nonconsensual surveillance that produces info to be used by people you don’t like is hostile by definition. And it’s near guaranteed that some of the buyers-advertisers, political campaigns and funders, govt agencies, whatever-will be people you don’t like). So shut it down.

Simplest is use /etc/hosts to set up names, if there are just a few.

I’d say run a local imap server rather than dealing with the weirdness of storage shares across multiple OS’s.
