I’m not gonna lie, I think this is kind of funny. I finally have what I’ve wanted for a long time and I can self host. But my workflow for posting here was all around pushing updates to Digital Ocean and it took me this long to set up things so that I could push them from here to the computer in the other room. Unreal, right?
I’ve been thinking a lot about trying to create and generate instead of just consuming. Going to take another run here at more regularly posting - we’ll see.
I used to to have a volume of output that kept multiple sites going, I’ll see now if I can just keep one getting new content with some regularity.
For years I used shared hosting for my sites. But I hit a point where I wanted to do a lot of things that were difficult to do in shared hosting. (Running my own code on different platforms, Let’s Encrypt, etc.) At the same time I realized that there were a ton of new, low cost options out there that would let me run my own “box” and do all those things while saving money at the same time.
This is my first go at my own post and sorting my front matter.
