people normally couple a static site generator (SSG) framework with some hosting platform for an ez-pz pretty reliable & fast blog. i make a lot of unconventional sacrifices and people think it's weird - but the truth is that i _hate_ maintaining things. i need the thing to work today, and i need the thing to work in ten years. the reason i think they're simpler is because you don't need to think about arcane workarounds to generate content - you can just generate it easily, on the fly. it looks like this: #!/bin/sh -eu # # deploy my website cd /home/j3s/code/j3s.sh git fetch origin if git status | grep -q behind; then git merge origin/main go build mv j3s.sh /usr/local/bin/j3s.sh service j3s.sh restart fi this script runs every minute on a cronjob, and rebuilds my site if the git repo has been updated.
