  • St. Petersburg’s and Moscow’s old stations were built to show off superiority of communist state. That’s where you can see lots of polished stone, sculptures, giant golden light fixtures, stained glass, etc. Focus was not on the people. Then starting around 1970s the stations were built with much more utilitarian design. Modern stations built in Moscow in last decade or so look very nice though.

    NYC subway is just gross. I guess they are seriously underfunded to afford proper cleaning and renovation






  • Depends on what you want exactly. Easy and self-hosted are not usually go well together unless you’ve got enough experience.

    Easiest way for blog - use a platform. WordPress.com is great and has free tier.

    More involved, but still relatively easy - static site generator. I use Hugo myself, there is Jakyll that is popular too. Host it for free on GitHub or GitLab pages.

    I would not self-host a public web site for security reasons. But you can run a static site on some cloud service. A personal blog with small audience should be fine on Oracle free tier.
