Namesilo DNS. Hosted on Netlify pointed from private gitlab repo. Hugo SSG. I like your blog :) Subscribed in RSS. OTOH, writing content is a challenge for me. If I try to start writing a tutorial, there seems to exist many others, with some of them being very high quality content. In the end it becomes futile to figure out what to write. Would appreciate any tips to start writing about something.

#32Eleventy is great for me because it's written in Javascript and I use Javascript every day for work. Very fast and capable. Can't say how it compares to other static site generators because it's the first one I've used.
My setup includes nginx and Letsencrypt, and that's pretty much it. The Ghost blog uses a SQLite database.
I wouldn't blog on any third-party service since they could kick me out anytime for any reason. My website is my digital garden. I don't monetize it, don't run ads there, don't sell anything. No reason to run it anywhere but on my own server.

#33The hosting is my local provider, I sent updates via FTP (oldschool huh?) and keep my website behind cloudflare to save some bandwidth.

#34There are plugins for every feature you could possibly need.
You admittedly have to put in some time for researching and comparing those and not fall for the temptation to install the first plugin you come across for a particular feature.
