My blocker was in infra shaming (from myself). I had started on WordPress years ago on a t3.micro instance, and all was well. Then I wanted to self-host since I have a substantial homelab and at the time, was an SRE. But I knew that my K8s (k3os technically) cluster wasn’t great, and I wasn’t using Helm correctly, and… all of this made me think I had to get everything perfect, exactly how I wanted it, before I could use it for publishing tech opinions.
A few weeks ago I found out you can have GitHub Pages with a custom domain, so I extracted my posts, converted them to Markdown, and now I run Hugo. So much easier, and I don’t fret about what imaginary people might think about me.
