From Cloud to Pi: How I Created My Forever Blog

Inspired by Derek Sivers' talk about cloud independence, I decided to free at least one digital asset from the cloud. As a writer who spends days crafting content, I chose to build my personal blog using simple HTML, CSS, and host it on a tiny Raspberry Pi Zero 2W. In this 15-minute talk, I'll walk you through my journey of creating this small piece of digital independence.

Key Points

• Why and how I set up a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W as my web server
• Creating a clean, minimal blog with just HTML and CSS

Who is this for?

Writers, bloggers, or anyone curious about hosting their own corner of the internet without depending on cloud services.
