@soatok it might be worth considering lighting up something like a pelican blog? i did it on a lazy saturday afternoon last week and made it all enlightenment e16 themed :D

@Viss The entire point of the blog was

  • If I try to host something myself, I will get DDoS'd and that's annoying, so I don't want to self-host
  • If I decide to self-host, I don't want to self-host anything like WordPress
  • If I decide to write my own blogging software to ensure it's secure, I'll spend forever working on the actual infrastructure instead of just... writing.

    • So that's why I didn't do that instead.

    @soatok fair enough! pelican spits out static content, so thats why I went with it. My entire blog is ~182k, so on the off chance I get hit with a flood or something, its not like the thing is serving up megs of jquery or vue.js or whatever :D

    sorry if i came off weird, that wasnt my intention

    @Viss @soatok Chiming in on number three, this is why static rendering SW is so nice. :)

    @vvelox @soatok yeah thats the way pelican works. you write your blogpost in markdown, give it the correct header lines it wants, drop it in the right dir, run pelican, that spits out a dir of static html files, then you just rsync them up

    @soatok @Viss I've been fond of hugo for that. That said I really should play with that some more. Just realizing it's been close to maybe 5 years since I've really touched it.

    @vvelox @soatok the last time i tried to write stuff i was using write.as because of similar concerns. I didnt want to use wordpress and I didnt want anything heavy or complex or busy. It was ok for that, but im very much one of those self-hoster types, so if i can, I'll self host something. this is the pelican blog i built: https://hax.lol/blog

    @soatok @photomatt If almost anybody else did this, it would make me immediately switch to a different product.

    This is Wordpress, though. This is not even in the top ten craziest (most problemattic?) things the company has done recently. I'm just glad I stopped using them ages ago.

    @soatok @photomatt One-liner to turn this off:
    sudo rm -rf /var/www/wordpress.AI.begone.com
    (replace /var/www/wordpress.AI.begone.com with the path to your wordpress installation).
