You Don&#39;t Need a Tech Stack. You Just Need a Text Editor. Plain text files built the internet before technology stacks were a thing. Honestly, there is no reason why your web presence cannot just be a simple TXT file. https://readbeanicecream.surge.sh/2026/04/17/you-dont-need-a-tech-stack-you-just-need-a-text-editor/ #tech #technology #plaintext #textfiles #indieweb #writing #blogging

@readbeanicecream@mastodon.social Well, even though you are right the biggest tech corporations in the world rely on the fact that a website is not a text file. Otherwise they would not be able to track you and show you adds.

@readbeanicecream@mastodon.social For your audio edition I noted you had not talked about making your own streaming service. I use jellyfin (for my DFlix streaming instead of a streaming service) and it will also serve your music via online (or even offline if you download to the right jellyfin client). Try it! 😁 https://daryl.wakatara.com/be-your-own-netflix-redux/ (improved setup)
