It’s basically how it always goes with ones web page. You plan on doing a lot a blog post, documented all the cool stuff you build and guides to the great tools you find. However reality hits and you end up spending all your time just trying to get by. I wow this year will be different… :P
I bought a house in the southern part of Denmark and have loads of project in the works. I can’t wait to get started.
I’ve have now for a few years basically lived in a van, it just always ends up being the easiest solution. I always have my stuff with me, always have my own bed to sleep in, have food and snack readily available. Somehow it just works for me, but don’t go into this lifestyle because of dreams or hopes that everyday will be an adventure. Believe me when I say, that living this way has huge consequences.
First of all the space, you don’t have it! Everything needs to be weight and measured, you need to ask these questions:
...So I’ve been looking at how to write posts on the go in Hugo. My setup is having a Nextcloud folder with the Hugo binary and the entire website alongside. This means I’ve have version control on all the files, courtesy of Nextcloud and have a version of Hugo I know works with my structure. I’ve never experience Hugo making breaking changes when upgrading, but on the off change it did, I will be able to continue updating my site until I was ready to implement changes required for new version of Hugo. For at static site generator the security implications of running an outdated Hugo version is in my opinion nonexistent. But always look at the changelog,there might be new features you are missing in your current build. Having everything in one folder really is a killer feature, it means you are always able to work on the site, from any computer, anywhere in the world.
...I’ve been rebuilding my webpage using the static page generator Hugo. My aim is to make a lightning fast webpage that only loads the bare essentials. This naturally relying on a lot of css being supported by the different browser, but by using HTML5 i hope to end up with at site that’s readable even if the css fails to load.
Hugo comes with alot of help builtin, it creates sitemaps, headers, footers and the like out of the box. Changing the name of a post, HUGO will handle the internal route and change the link all the places it need to be changed. I have a super simple site, so I was just coding everything directly into HTML. This rarely caused me to have problems with links or the like, but I’ve been thinking about adding a blog to my homepage. Mostly I wan’t a bit of an technical blog where I can make mental notes of how/why I implemented different solutions. Often I come back months/years later and I cannot understand why I made a specific implementations and I’ll be afraid to change when, if I don’t fully understand the implications. Having a blog add new complexity if just writing directly to HTML, I need to link all the posts, have navigation back and forth between the posts, sorting and such.
