 - **It feels great to do things yourself**: I used GPT-4o for linux server command help, that was about it
 - **Always ask "what is this?" before using something**: this would've saved me hours of realizing a 12 year old perl script should not have been running my git ui.

+# update: moving to lightsail <span class="date">09/11/2025</span>
+
+Welp, ec2 costed way too much (~$15/mo!). Enter [AWS Lightsail](https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/): small compute with a flat $5/mo charge. This is a reasonably "scalable" solution for my website&mdash;unfortunately I do not have too much traffic as of now.
+
+Anyways, the migration is complete. Everything is nearly identical but my HTTPD config has been minimally updated as follows:
+- Now that I host project descriptions on `https://barrettruth.com/git/<project>.html` and gists on `https://barrettruth.com/gist/<code>`, support `{git,gist}.barrettruth.com->barrettruth.com/{git,gist}.html`
+- Minify and simplify letsencrypt logic for the domain
+
+Here's the updated config:
