Been here, done that :) thx for a fun read :)
My most recent attempt to rekindle my old blog turned into a write-a-SSG-that-can-import-tumblr and then a quest to recapture the nostalgic MySpace/text-mode feel, and no actual new blog entries.
Writing an SSG was procrastination at its finest. I did manage to migrate to ghpages and make the old tumblr and google-sites versions auto-redirect.
- laurent92 5y agoYeah, on the other hand, my pro website is based on Jekyll and it doesn’t compile anymore because of version shenanigans…
- willvarfar 5y agoYeah I just checked and at least my SSG code is python3. That's a bit of a surprise to me, actually. Its telling how, over the years, I've had to keep moving my free-hosted blog to a new provider. This is the third time. I'm hoping ghpages are here to stay and don't start doing a sourceforge ad angle or anything...
- Santosh83 5y agoIf only network connectivity had scaled up as remarkably as CPUs did over the years, we could all be hosting services from our home machines in true peer to peer manner. Distressingly though ISPs are reinforcing the client-server model by asymmetric bandwidth, blocking ports, forcing customers to purchase business plans for static addresses and so on. All technically unwarranted, purely user-hostile behaviour.
