Dude, if you’re having heart palpations, go to fucking urgent care. That shit can be lethal. Atrial fibrillation? Atrial flutter? They can cause blood clots which can cause stroke. Urgent care will know what to do, even if that’s just calling a cardiologist elsewhere to look at your EKG or even stuffing you in an ambulance and driving you to an ER.

Don’t want to take medical advice from a rando on the internet? (You shouldn’t!) Then call your goddamned nurse line. They will sort you out and tell you exactly where to go.

Good luck.

You don’t even need a star cert… The DNS challenge works for that use case as well.

I use Ansible to meet this need. Whenever I want to deploy to one or more remote hosts, I run Ansible locally and it connects via SSH to the remote host(s). There, it can run Docker Compose, configure services, lay down files on the host, restart things, etc.

The site links to a site that accepts payment data. So because the author’s site is http, a MITM attacker could change the payment links from lulu.com to site-that-actually-steals-your-credit-card.com.

That’s one huge thing https provides over http… assurance of unadulterated content, including links to sites that actually deal in sensitive data.

Regardless of intent/effect, it’s sloppy and does not instill confidence in the data…

Yeah, look at the x axis labels. 5 years, 2 years, and 3 years. WTF?

I haven’t used an out-of-the-box self-hosted solution for this, but I agree with others that blog or static site generator software could work. I think the main challenges you’ll find though are: 1. Formatting the content/site for long-form readability, and 2. Adding a table of contents and previous/next chapter links without a bunch of manual work.

Fortunately blog and static site software have plugins that can add missing functionality like this. Here’s one for WordPress (that I have no first-hand experience with): https://wordpress.org/plugins/book-press/

I also want to ask: What’s your plan for discovery/marketing? Because one of the benefits of the non-self-hosted web novel sites is that readers can theoretically discover your story there. But if you instead just post it on your own site, how will readers ever find it?
