I shared my communications plan here: https://notes.dsebastien.net/30+Areas/33+Permanent+notes/33....
This enables me to connect everything and to have a single place where I maintain the content.
My end goal is automating publishing and updates to all platforms from within Obsidian.

I don't know, where do you draw the line? If I host it myself using nginx running on a VPS, does that count? Or still no, because I don't own the VPS? What if it's a dedicated machine, colocated? What if it's at home, but I pay an ISP? edit: Downvoted, care to explain why? I genuinely wrestle with this question. I self-host lots of services at home - and I also self-host services on a cloud VPS, which have better ava…
The cloud VPS isn't self hosting if you don't own the server. It would be like saying that you self-host your email service because you opened a GMail account
Great stuff, looking forward to your next blog post in 1 year: “How I rebuilt my blog on…” A fun hobby of mine is Googling “how I built this blog with [next.js/Gatsby/etc etc]” and going to page 10 of the Google results. It’s just hundreds of developer blogs with no blog posts other than the ones announcing how the blog was built.
I’ve noticed this a lot, too, and made this drawing as a joke: https://rakhim.org/honestly-undefined/19/
I will off course link to you site. It’s to illustrate a point about my blogspot blog haha…
I’ve been looking to switch over to something else. But I’ve been actively blogging since 2006 and I haven’t found a good enough way and platform to switch over to.

My blog is self-hosted on a Dell Latitude E7270 with 1 Gbit/s fiber connection. No Cloudflare. It handled the #1 position on HN last year quite well. I use self-hosted Ghost as a headless CMS with a Nuxt frontend.
These days for daily blogging I built Pagecord so I can just type an email and clicking Send :) https://pagecord.com
Cool setup, but the choice of Obsidian is kind of weird in this context (in an interesting way, see next paragraph). Instead of opening a subfolder of the Hugo project in Obsidian, one could just open the entire thing in VSCode or a similar IDE, enjoy a good markdown editing experience, AND use git integration and the integrated terminal (and possibly set up automated tasks) to run your local testing and deployment w…

Can I use this image on my blog? I will off course link to you site. It’s to illustrate a point about my blogspot blog haha… I’ve been looking to switch over to something else. But I’ve been actively blogging since 2006 and I haven’t found a good enough way and platform to switch over to.
(I'll update my website soon and will make the licensing clearer.)

Would you consider participating in a private beta of https://exotext.com/, a simple blogging platform I'm building? (example blog: https://rakhim.exotext.com/)
If so, please send me an email: hello at rakhim.org
> This stack gives me full control: no subscriptions, no vendor lock-in, > and no risk of platforms disappearing or changing policies. I'm not trying to dunk on the author, but this sentiment encapsulates a tremendous paradigm shift in the meaning of "full control", compared to say: * Writing in obsidian * Syncing files via git * Publishing via nginx hosted on the cheapest possible vps (with https via let's encrypt)…
While I know how to maintain a server, as I worked as a SysOp for many years supervising way bigger infrastructures, I just didn't want to spend my free time also with maintaining some remote host, installing security updates, checking fail2ban and so on.
Self hosting is always more than just "instaling nginx".
>> but it seems weird to talk about "full control" and "no risk of platforms disappearing" when you're relying on the free tier of two external companies
This ignores the fact, that OP is actually storing the content on it's own devices. Sure, OP is using some cloud services to sync them around and GitHub/Cloudflare to eventually publish it to the world. But there's no real dependency. OP could always and easily (!) move to another similar setup.
