So the "domain takeover attempt" was a poorly phrased email by the company that provides domain service to my hosting provider because they are apparently doing some restructuring.

The search on batchrocket.artisan-ma.net is not working, as is the comment form. But those are not the most important parts.

I can see that, I am getting the attacks now also. Someone tried to transfer my domain (which is locked, so no issue there). There are also the usual attempts of hijacking PHP.
Unfortunately for the attackers, there is no PHP (or any other scripting language) to be found on this server.

Next issue:

when making a new post, it sometimes takes a very long time to load the scripts from https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/SyntaxHighlighter
I suggest hosting those on permies.com itself.
I am pretty sure it was spam. I saw this happen before. After the post was deleted it would still show up in the recent list.
If others are in a similar situation, leave a comment with the size of your website (and other requirements) here.

Given the last misfortune of the batchrocket.eu server, I am wondering if there are more people who want to publish a (simple) website without having to think about having to secure.

That being said, there are quite a few inexpensive options
- wasmer.io 150GB bandwidth/month (free), 100k visits/month, otherwise $10/month for 1TB bandwidth
- static.app ($6/month for 500mb website size, unlimited bandwidth)
- static.run ($3/month for 5GB website, 50GB bandwidth),

I am going to use the batchrocket.eu site as an example:
total website size is 33MB. 94k visits total, assuming over 10 years and 1MB/visit that is 8GB bandwidth per month.
So it could be hosted for free at wasmer.io .

I am considering to add a small editor and upload capability to my server, which would then allow easy hosting of small websites if people need it.

Depending on your driving/parking skills, you only need a gravel/concrete/wood strip wide enough to support the wheels and some margin, while the area between them can be left as sand.
I am not a fan of wood sitting on ground, nor would I like to park or drive a car on things with nails.

For concrete you will need gravel anyway so I would just try gravel in the area where the wheel tracks are and add some more as it compacts and sinks in.
The ground does not sound stable enough to be able to only cast two thin strips for the wheels without it cracking.

I stumbled on a pretty good candidate by accident:

And it is open source!
Modos Flow 13,3" E Ink Screen
with 3200 x 2400 pixels it has 300 ppi which is printer quality.
I guess it uses the same panel as the Dasung Paperlike 13K" 13.3

Well, now I had to make some research.
From my experience a FHD (1920x1080) screen in landscape is good for writing a A4 document in portrait mode if the text isn't too small.
So lets assume 1920px for 210mm., which is 9.14px/mm or 232ppi (pixels per inch).
A A4 page is 14.4" (for reference)

Now lets assume you want to view your page in portrait mode, then the screen would need 2720 by 1920 pixels.

possible panels:
2760×2070 11.5" (too small?)
3200×1800 25.3" (too large to be portable)
2200×1650 13.3" (only 206 ppi)

That would still leave the need to build a housing and build a text-writer that is optimized for this application to make writing at least somewhat comfortable.
There appear to be a handful of devices using the last panel, but it is discontinued and most are sold out. And even if you manage to get one, you would still need custom firmware.


There does appear to be a new one: "Dasung Paperlike 13K" 13.3" with 300ppi, but it isn't exactly cheap and it still needs to be connected to a computer (which actually is a good thing as it means running your own software is much easier). So that + some small computing device and a nice keyboard would do it for a portable typewriter.
