Burial of St. Lucy in Syracuse is interesting as the painting is displayed at the original place where it was commissioned, on the way of his hectic getaway. Ghastly, the context of the painting feels to be similar to the one you described.
Don't do one-off setups and quick fixes. The entire knowledge will be lost on the next instance failure. Launch and provision the instances automatically with well maintained scripts. Start with cheap VPS to initially avoid dealing with entire domain of problems related to physical servers.
I realized that the only reliable way to copy files between Windows, MacOS, and Linux is FAT32 formatted USB drive, assuming you have USB-C/A adapter available. Cloud object storage if you don't want to split the file into 4GB pieces, take the extra step to setup the clients, and upload speeds are acceptable. Between iOS and Android there is no local solution without PC in the middle and at least one MacOS machine is required. Most seamless is FTP server, but no free and acceptable FTP app exists for either. Very disappointing for an era when "AI is replacing and firing everyone".
Even for an European in another European country one has to have prepared ASCII-alised name(s), surname, and address in home country. ASCII characters and digits only. The variety of systems, encodings, and input methods is legendary, complaining is pointless. BTW JGC says his surname contains a hyphen but technically he is using the minus character.
It's as well a case in my region in Central Europe, we colloquially say that "the soil breeds the stones". Corrosion, freezing and thaw cycles, they crumble the geological limestone layer beneath and push the rocks to the surface. More up north it's not the case, the "field stones" are remnants of the last glaciation in northern Europe.

There are moments I'm about to deploy something similar and by now what's stopping me are laziness and other higher priorities. I'm staring at these aggravating items in server log and maybe someday.
> I've been hoping to write a script to backup stuff into an S3 bucket. I just never have the time.
Here it is [1]. Funny thing about backups is everyone needs something similar, yet everyone ends up rolling out their own tool set. Backblaze turns out much cheaper than S3.
(Un)fortunately web browsers [1] and URL shorteners block opening and redirecting to data URLs so they are useful mostly as bookmarks in the web browser.
No, my premise is very straightforward. Do not modify the text during the copy and paste workflow. Copy and paste workflow is well defined and established concept by now. That bad actors are doing it doesn't mean you should. No point in exaggerating my premise and ridiculing me.
Whatever are the motivations and reasoning, bank is doing exactly what the bad actors are doing. They modify the text during the copy and paste workflow.
Depends on one's determination and motives there are many ways to "disable refresh". One motive I imagine and don't approve is some want their website to feel like a mobile app, for whatever reason.
It's not limited to your web history. File paths are URIs as well, and so is a path to a specific page in a PDF or to a tab in a spreadsheet. Nothing prevents you from composing both local and web URIs and reopening them automatically at any time. The value you extract depends on the quality and reliability of the content you picked to bookmark.
> Hundreds of round-trips to external servers, languages that require some orders of magnitude more resources than needed... It shouldn't be so expensive to just serve a page, even considering robots
This is not a priority. The features are implemented by more abstraction, ie. TypeScript and web frameworks. Industry's low barrier to entry promotes studying frameworks, not technologies and standards enabling them. Anti-robot measures mostly prevent automated fraud and are there to ensure the ads are displayed, if the whole process will freeze your browser and eat your entire RAM they are fine with it.
Check the original article on memex in Life magazine. Something like 25% of the real estate of the article are ads interrupted by five full page ads and followed by another two full page ads. Prophetic. It's actually difficult to extract the article itself while reading.
