Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link zck.org for a note on serving static HTML pages without the .html extension in URLs, such as an emacsconf page stored as a .html file. The one comment quotes this setup in a thread on cheap static hosting.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

https://zck.org/ , a static site on Nearly Free Speech.net. I post about Emacs and generative art. In the future, maybe some improv or guitar posts too. I also have https://theflyingbuffalo.com/ , a buffalo chicken review blog.

HN discussion> I do things like serve html without the .html filetype in the url; e.g. https://zck.org/emacsconf2020 is stored on the server as emacsconf2020.html How do you handle it?

on “Ask HN: Cheapest/easiest way to host a static site?”I use https://nearlyfreespeech.net for my static site. It isn't free -- it is pretty cheap -- but it has a lot going for it. It requires no custom tooling -- I upload via rsync. This makes it trivial to migrate to a new provider if necessary. I develop my site locally, then rsync it up. I have a custom domain pointed at the site, and also a custom .htaccess, so I have a good amount of control over the site. I do thi…

on “Ask HN: Cheapest/easiest way to host a static site?”I also made some number-based wordle-variants, which I call "numberdle". I found that it was hard to come up with good ways of guessing because wordle has the restriction that most combinations are invalid. You won't ever have to guess xwqqf, because that's not an English word. And more importantly, guessing some letters gives you information about the other letters. If you find out three letters, and have the targe…

on “Binary Wordle”I've tried to keep it Arc-compatible, but I always run it on Anarki. Run it like `(gensite "path/to/site/base")`. The site root is a folder with the following things in it: 1. a config file `conf.arc`, with config for the site. It has these keys (but I don't think they're all required): 1. sitename -- title for the homepage 2. site root -- url; mine is "https://zck.org" 3. description -- used in the RSS feed. 4. slo…

on “Gerbil Scheme – A Lisp for the 21st Century”> ...sometimes it feels like I’m the only one in the world that actually uses it to solve problems that I personally have. My personal static site generator ( https://hg.sr.ht/~zck/site-generator , generating https://zck.org/ and https://theflyingbuffalo.com/ ) is written in Arc. It's a very fun place to program. I've used other Lisps, but Arc for me fits a very enjoyable programming space. There's a small enough co…

on “Ask HN: Who wants to be hired? (September 2024)”I've been into generative art for a few years. I actually started posting my artwork here a few weeks ago: https://zck.org/art

on “Ask HN: Any Artists on HN?”The weirdest thing I have done in Emacs is using it to generate WAVE files, with a visual interface. The music loops, so you can keep playing with it. I've given talks about the package at !!Con 2021 and EmacsConf 2020. Info about this at https://zck.org/bangbangcon2021 . Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeTDIrJeriI . Bonus: the presentation itself is done from within Emacs, in another library I wrote.
