Robert Kingett<p>So I’m playing around with <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/Hugo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hugo</span></a> modules, and this really is a much easier way to do Hugo. Is there a database of these modules somewhere? Maybe like a getting started directory for modules that you can use other than themes? somewhere? I know you can use them for other things, but I’m having trouble figuring out what else to use them for other than themes. When I launch the new website, I’m going to upgrade my static site generator guide because this is so much easier. <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/SSG" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SSG</span></a> <a href="https://caneandable.social/tags/staticSite" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>staticSite</span></a></p>

My little personal blog is currently hosted on a little raspberry pi. The contents live on GitHub, the deploy runs automatically on push, and I use Cloudflare Tunnels to auto host it.

It's been working great, but I woke up today feeling an incredible amount of 'ick'. I don't want to spend time thinking about security, but I do want to move.

I think maybe it's time to change to a more basic setup with a remote VPS that doesn't involve any tech giants.

Anybody have recommendations for their favorite cheap hosts?

My test #blog at test.damianvila.com now has Mastodon comments! 😁 (just the last post).
I think it's mostly ready. I just need to report an issue with #Publii (the app generates FIGURE tags around IMGs without checking if one already exists, at least 1 or 2 nodes up), but other than that, it's looking good! Pretty happy with everything (even when I had to hack a few things 🤣) #staticsitegenerator #staticsite #mastodoncomments

I got inspired by @grumpygamer@gamedev.place and re-made my static site using @publii (because, you know, I'm a Designer, not a Programmer 😅). It's here: test.damianvila.com So far, it works as intended and it's going to save me a lot of time if everything goes ok. #staticsitegenerator #staticsite #blog
