Cheers on the note “my professional work isn’t here”. Makes me wonder if I should be more explicit like that.

I have to side with you on this.

And I do use those modern frameworks at work.

My goal was to keep mine working coherently in Lynx, but uses some JS for syntax highlighting and a click event or two that degrade well enough.

It’s also an awful hacked together static-ish blog in Go behind Nginx. I was working on an improvement last night and realized how much I’d learned since I wrote it. It’s funny and frustrating at the same time. Might be time to start over again.

I spent years rebuilding my site several times over, trying to appear as professional and modern as possible.

A while back I got fed up, spent about 15-20 minutes writing some basic html, and came up with a simple page. I haven't looked back since. https://danielvaughn.github.io/info/

I get a scary-looking warning in Firefox when I click that link. It says:

"Someone could be trying to impersonate the site and you should not continue.

Websites prove their identity via certificates. Firefox does not trust danielvaughn.github.io because its certificate issuer is unknown, the certificate is self-signed, or the server is not sending the correct intermediate certificates.

Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER"

To continue to your site, I'd have to click the button "Accept the Risk and Continue", which not everyone will do. I just want you to know in case you want to look into it.

Hm, it's just a Github Page, I'm not self hosting. Maybe something went wrong with github's cert.

You can (should?) change your github io settings to use HTTPS

Edit: never-mind I read back up and you definitely are.

Could be, or I have an over-protective Firefox. I still have the same issue with the link.

Works for me. Firefox on Android with uBlock Origin and DDG.
