Prefacing by saying I’m a total noob to webdev.
I’m trying to move my personal portfolio site off of Squarespace and onto some sort of static hosting. Since I know nothing, I’m cobbling together hugo templates and using LightBox2 to show image galleries. The blog I’m referencing includes LightBox2 using this:
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.4.1/jquery.min.js" integrity="sha256-CSXorXvZcTkaix6Yvo6HppcZGetbYMGWSFlBw8HfCJo=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/lightbox2/2.11.1/js/lightbox.min.js" integrity="sha256-CtKylYan+AJuoH8jrMht1+1PMhMqrKnB8K5g012WN5I=" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
I would prefer to not subject people viewing my page to any external tracking if I can avoid it. My page has zero tracking/analytics for this reason. I briefly tried downloading LightBox2 and directly including it instead, and was able to get it working mostly, but some things were broken that I would need to debug. Before I do that I was wondering, is this even a problem? Is including stuff from cloudflare cdn like this sketchy? It’s possible I’m being overly paranoid but I have no idea.

Might I recommend github pages? Should be able to host all needed dependencies there too.
https://pages.github.com/
PS - jerboa android client didn’t show your markup, may I also suggest using 3x backticks to make it formatted as you expected? Like so:
I would recommend gitlab pages over github pages. Github is owned by Microsoft so who knows how private it is anymore.
Yea, that’s smarter. I didn’t know they had that as well, but in hindsight it makes sense
Thanks fixed. Interesting jerboa and the web version of lemmy are developed by the same person but using the “code” button in the web frontend only uses one backtick. That might be worth a bug report.
I’m actually trying to get away from github also, so maybe codeberg pages instead? This is a part of the process I haven’t done enough research into, I wanted to get the static site working locally first then “shop around” for hosts.
There’s a few issues with jerboa that I’d like addressed, maybe I’ll look into building it and issuing some PRs for it when I have more time. Can’t imagine it’s easy to maintain such a code base alone.
Few things off the top of my head are keyboard hides text with long comments, and sharing links for federated communities gives a link to the instance it was posted on and not the instance I’m on.
Also not being able to make communities in jerboa is a bit of a bummer, should also be easier to subscribe to communities on other instances too (web client).
