I like that preparing for the solar-powered website/ "how much energy does the internet use" workshop I am teaching tomorrow at the UZH children's university has also given me a reason to add a low-resource version of my own homepage, which only serves a simple about page. I've implemented it as an initial choice on the root address, which now gives the options to visit a minimal, the full English, or the full German version of the website. https://marioangst.com This has actually gotten me thinking about this design pattern (if it can be called that) - an internet that serves a minimal page with 20% of the information of the website that 80% percent of visitors are probably after as a default might not be such a bad idea. Technically, I am using a #Quarto profile that only renders the index page at / and a separate quarto website rendered to /minimal.
