静态网站悖论
个人网站的两种不同实现方式：一种是复杂的内容管理系统（CMS），另一种是简单的静态 HTML 文件。文章指出，尽管大多数普通用户倾向于使用复杂的解决方案（如 WordPress），但实际上，只有少数专业软件工程师能够选择更简单的静态网站。

前两天刚好听朋友说 square space 已经涨到了近乎搞笑的 $25 月费，做不用来盈利的个人博客实在难以 justify。这篇文章中吐槽得很在点子上：
normal users are stuck with a bunch of greedy clowns that make them pay for every little thing, all while wasting ungodly amounts of computational power to render what could have been a static website in 99% of cases.
普通用户被困在了一群屁大点功能都要收费的贪婪小丑手里，与此同时浪费着人神共愤额度的算力来渲染 99% 的情况下都可以作为静态的网站。
当然原文中说的“只有少数专业软件工程师才能选择更简单的静态网站”略微夸张并不认同，因为静态站至少是比 self-host 的动态 CMS 少太多维护了。我的 backlog 里也一直躺了篇安利新手用静态站并拉踩 WP 的文，不过网上这种文已经有无数了也还是拦不住前赴后继往各种 CMS 的坑里冲的新手，觉得写了又有什么意义呢就还搁着没写。（当然迟早会像以前反复造的无数轮子一样被废话欲战胜的 but not today）

🇬🇧 Keir #Starmer ha dichiarato: "non sapevo quanto oscuro fosse il rapporto" tra Jeffrey Epstein e Peter #Mandelson e si è scusato "con le vittime" per aver "creduto alle bugie" di Mandelson e per averlo nominato ambasciatore. Starmer ha detto di comprendere "la rabbia" pubblica, ha definito Mandelson indegno di un ruolo nella vita pubblica e ha promesso di pubblicare tutti i documenti sulla nomina, spiegando di aver rinviato la divulgazione su indicazione della polizia per motivi di sicurezza nazionale.

📰 Epstein’s Inbox Claims Another One: Mandelson in Cuffs
Peter Mandelson just went from “New Labour mastermind” and ex‑ambassador to the U.S. to 72‑year‑old suspect in a misconduct‑in‑public‑office case that carries a potential life sentence. London’s Met Police arrested him at his Camden home after getting U.S. Justice Department emails showing he shared information with Jeffrey Epstein while he was a cabinet minister in Gordon Brown’s government in 2009. His London and Wiltshire properties have already been searched; he’s resigned from Labour and the House of Lords, and his lawyers are suddenly very quiet.
This isn’t just one fallen operator, it’s a systemic rot story. Mandelson was fired as U.K. ambassador to Washington last year when the depth of his friendship with Epstein became public, despite Starmer’s team insisting they’d vetted him. Now Parliament has ordered the release of those vetting documents, two senior government officials have already quit over the scandal, and the prime minister faces calls to step down for appointing a man who was apparently emailing a convicted sex offender from inside the British state.
All of this comes days after King Charles’s brother Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor was arrested on the same charge — misconduct in public office — over alleged transmission of confidential documents to Epstein. One royal, one über‑insider of the Blair–Brown machine, both pulled into police stations off the back of the same inbox. The message is not that Epstein corrupted a few bad apples; it’s that his address book was the British establishment.
For decades, Mandelson was sold as the guy who understood power: architect of New Labour, twice‑fallen, twice‑resurrected cabinet minister, resurrected again as Starmer’s “shrewd” choice to manage Washington and even win early tariff concessions from Trump. Now the public watches him bundled into an unmarked car over emails he thought would never see daylight. The British state keeps telling the world it’s a model of integrity and rule of law. The Epstein files keep answering with pictures of who was actually picking up the phone.
