From WordPress to Hugo

So far, I've been using WordPress for this website. It's a very powerful and complete blogging software, with a lot of plugins, themes, search engine optimizations, etc. It has been in the market for more than 15 years and continues to be actively developed. It's the undisputed leader in blogging and it's very easy and quick to produce content with it. On the other hand, I haven't updated this blog for two years, with a single entry in the last 5 years. So why migrate it again? Well precisely for that.

@amvinfe has a post about how injunctions and superinjunctions are being used to protect entities but work against having an informed public, especially when it comes to cybersecurity.

The recent #Qantas injunction is a useful example of how an injunction won't solve the problem it is sought to allegedly solve, and it only leaves the public in the dark. If @troyhunt were to be sent the data from Qantas, he could not add it to his database for HaveIBeenPwned because he is Australian and HIBP is an Australian entity. So millions of Qantas customers will not be able to check to see if their information has shown up on the dark web as a result of the Qantas breach because of the injunction that was justified as being needed to protect them.

The topic of injunctions and superinjunctions is very near and dear to @amvinfe's heart -- and mine -- as we both got hit with a #superinjunction earlier this year.
