How to blog: Blog posts are timestamped snapshots of your past.

blog.autiomaa.org: New blog is available via subdomain of my personal website.

The minimalistic layout of my tiny new blog on this platform feels nicely focused. Less focused on the constant flood of randomised posts (and reposts) from other people, more focused on the writing itself. It is kind of what personal blogs used to be in the past. Small but personal.

Many people seem to be considering to move away from GitHub, but even while their own repositories might move away from it, most of the Open Source software dependencies are still going to stay on GitHub. Largely because it is slow to move communities from one platfrom to another.

Trying out Micro.one: Trying out Micro.one because it’s really nicely priced at $1 per month. While it has a bit less features than the other Micro.blog plans, having the basic things is enough for me at this point. The biggest feature is not having to worry about the build pipeline of a personal blog.
