Lost Web Site

Unleash the Box

In computing terms, a container is an environment for an app to operate inside of, configured with all necessary dependencies and isolated from the host system for security.

I use docker for facility with several management programs for agility in deploying containerized apps for public and personal use.

Containerized apps are good for all kinds of things: monitoring systems, automation, organization, entertainment, publication and more.

Some good places to learn about open source apps & containerized deployments:

• Awesome Self Hosted
• r/Self Hosted
• Selfh.st

A few catalogs of apps that can be deployed here with just a few clicks:

• Yunohost
• RunTipi
• Easypanel

Web Design

I don’t make any claim to be an great designer; tending to prefer technical aspects and dictating form by function.

That being said, I’m perfectly capable of bootstrapping a quick user interface or throwing some pictures up on a page.

Some perks of designing with lost.ws

• My web stack is 100% open source, which means I don’t have any software costs to pass on to the consumer.
• My infrastructure is built on small business: limited time flash sales and promotional loss leaders allow me to operate a fleet of servers for pennies a day.
• Tiny overhead and small footprint allows me to design and host for less than market pricing.
• Simple, minimalist creations that are easy to maintain.
• I can host and design your site: one stop shopping.
• Managed/Unmanaged: flexibility in the level of involvement you require with more nuance than just all or none.
• Unchained: most app hosting service only host one proprietary brand they sell as a service. I can offer you hundreds of options.

Most importantly, I’m a real human being. I’m not anyone’s employee following a script, nor an AI that has been trained to frustrate you.

The first thing I do is look, listen, and learn: I need to find out exactly what you want, and what your vision is.

This is the cornerstone of good business.

Data Ownership

For the Future

There’s always some new service or agency offering you this or that for free: gmail, youtube, facebook, etc, offering free communication, publishing, and data storage. Sounds too good to be true: and it is.

These agencies aren’t just giving you free stuff. They’re studying you and manipulating your behavior by controlling your access to information.

Beyond these major issues, there’s the inevitability of vendor lock-in. Once you’ve uploaded to a corporate cloud, your precious memories become their assets, and they can charge a fee for retrieval or auction them off to the highest bidder.

By producing your own content and communicating on a personal platform, you can ensure you never have to face censorship or pay increasing fees to access your data.
