        "content_html": "<p>Yesterday, <a href=\"https://vladcampos.com/2026/06/29/the-microblog-paradox-are-its.html\">I wrote about the Micro.blog Paradox</a>, and that ended up triggering so many questions. Why am I even using a platform to host my site and blog? Why not build something the way I want? What if I try it by first going back to the basics, just like when I began sharing content online in 1997?</p>\n<p>Back then, we would write all the code on our computers and upload the files to a server. It&rsquo;s a lot of work to do it yourself and many extra details to pay attention to. But once the main structure is built and running, it&rsquo;s just a matter of incremental changes.</p>\n<p>So, I started looking for places where I could host a site like that, and there are actually many places available: <a href=\"https://github.com\">GitHub</a>, <a href=\"https://www.netlify.com\">Netlify</a>, and <a href=\"https://neocities.org\">Neocities</a>, just to name a few. I chose Neocities for now as a testing bed and as an homage to where my online presence started: GeoCities. Which is also an irony in itself. The mess Yahoo did to GeoCities can easily be classified as one of the first enshittification processes of the Internet era.</p>\n<p>In the end, it doesn&rsquo;t really matter where I keep my site. The files on my computer can be easily uploaded to a different place, and in no time, everything will be running as if nothing ever changed.</p>\n<p>It took me a few hours, but the first draft is already live <a href=\"https://vladcampos.neocities.org\">using the free Neocities tier</a>. The plan is to start publishing on both sites and keep tweaking things to make sure I can build this the way I want to.</p>\n<p>I guess the <a href=\"https://vladcampos.com/en/dcm/\">Digital Caveman projec</a>t is more like a never-ending path.</p>\n",
