- Doing the multi-language glossaries (the purpose to not have to define the terms in each blog post each time)
- First idea: media wiki
- media wiki can be a bit anoying to update - but the recent versions of the PHPs are not really breaking changes, so updating PHP versions had become easier
- Other possibilities: blog posts with automatic translation, having both langauges on the same page,...
- Looking for a solution, that does not require PHP knowledge - no getting hacked because of the lack of knowledge
- See: language
- First idea: media wiki
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-2:GB

- Discord - no cohesion between the answer and question - Reddit has this better, since you can see the train of tought

- Scaning the phisical pictures to create a design for the website
- Is this not done anymore because of the performance reasons?
- Do personal websites need to worry about performance?
- Personal sites are easily more performant simply just because it does not as many adds and metrics
- Other people opinion can also constrain the thinking of what to put in the website (PNG vs. SVG - but PNG can be more performant in some cases)
