You don't see a plaque when you walk into a building listing everyone who laid a brick as part of the construction.
We totally should do this though. Imagine how cute it'd be to have a construction worker be able to visit a building they helped build with their family or friends and point at their name engraved somewhere with a happy grin.
No one has such a tangible impact on shaping our world as people who create, they should be credited no matter the medium.
It is very stable and I like that when an update breaks it fails to build rather than failing down the road during runtime, but I never quite got the hang of running -9999 packages (Gentoo's -git equivalent), which I like running on Arch. Also in general getting new updates quicker and just having a bigger library of packages and the AUR available, since it was kinda getting old coming across software I use or wanna use that has no ebuild available and having to make my own.
Besides other pages alternatives you could try a cheap vps. They start as low as $10/year and any will be plenty for a static site. It's also fun to play around with hosting other stuff. lowendbox.com has some good listings.
I put off docker for a long time for similar reasons but what won me over is docker volumes and how easy they make it to migrate services to another machine without having to deal with all the different config/data paths.
As a child I kept having a nightmare of a sentient kite chasing me through a hotel. I don't think any media exists I picked this up from so maybe kid brains just love producing nightmares of getting chased by random objects.
Even if something is finished it's a risk if no one looks after it since there's always the possibility of security vulnerabilities, software is rarely truly done.
For Arch, packages are archived online for quite a while, you could still install neofetch via sudo pacman -U https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/n/neofetch/neofetch-7.1.0-2-any.pkg.tar.zst currently.
Installed packages are also left in /var/cache/pacman/pkg until cleaned up manually and can be similarly installed from there. The one thing to look out for is whether the dependencies are still available and compatible since, unlike on Windows, packages don't usually bundle their dependencies. For a closer experience in that regard there's .AppImage which is a self-contained package similar to an .exe.
I believe Let's Encrypt only allows wildcard certs for DNS challenges so it's not really in the scope of Nginx; but I haven't used other web servers, do they implement that?
Edit: Looked into Caddy, it seems to have a plugin system for DNS providers, that's pretty slick. I can't see that ever happening for Nginx they seem very opinionated in wanting to be unopinionated unfortunately. I'm still sad they rejected the PR to implement prefers-color-scheme for default error pages.
Having it available as a technology is great, what sucks is how Nvidia marketed their new 50 series on the basis of triple fake frames due to lack of actual hardware improvements. They literally claimed 5070 = 4090 performance.
