I feel you op, hugo broke sites for me too. You had one job and all that…
But build yourself a static site generator, its a few hours work tops.
Then you have something to blog about.

Re: I Blog with Raw HTML
#72As other comments mentioned, the content is written in Markdown and rendered in the browser. So “blog with raw HTML” feels like a stretch... that said, View Source in the browser shows the exact HTML document that's presumably hand-written in the source repo [1], so I guess it comes down to the definition of “raw”. It could mean “not pre-processed”. [1]: https://github.com/poga/devpoga.org/blob/58a202485cedeae9157...

And the definition of ”HTML”. Document is markdown.

#73This is novice stuff. I write my blog by modifying the filesystem's binary structure by hand with a hex editor. There is no Javascript or CSS whatsoever and the document uses only elements, attributes, and behaviours that were both described in the original HTML v1.1 DTD and that have continued to appear in every intervening IETF, W3C, and WHATWG issuance since then. Many of the elements are therefore deprecated and currently unimplemented in all evergreen browsers. Nevertheless I live in firm expectation of their eventual reinstatement. The HTTP service is one I nicked from a grad student in my CS department circa 1995, it speaks only HTTP/0.9, and is written in a mixture of ksh and dd, requiring no other utilities. This runs on a SPARCstation 20 from the same era that has been repaired from scavenged parts so many times that the hostname spontaneously updated to "theseus" a few years ago. Fun fact: impurities in the copper I smelted to replace the power supply windings led (as you can no doubt imagine) to induction spikes on the drive rails, and the subsequent fsck erased all blog entries mentioning Jonathan Schwartz. So nothing of value was lost. Readers may be pleased to learn that despite all this I'm not totally retro; since SunOS 4.x is now out of support, the Kodiak is proudly booting NetBSD.
The blog itself is, of course, optimised for viewing in Lynx. In fact it only works in Lynx

#74Really weird flex, but okay.
Re: I Blog with Raw HTML
#75I blog with raw HTML too, but I don't blog about it. The "blog about the tools I use" tarpit is somewhat unique, it's like if online chefs were obsessed with creating knife and fork recipes.
What you've never seen a chef on a cooking show geek out about his favorite knives and pans?
I think that’s misunderstanding the point they’re making. It’s not talking about knives, it’s talking about knife recipes. As in, “I use the pairing knife to cut the salmon” which is definitely similar to “I use HTML to write my blog”.
Maybe if it was a unique, special pairing knife, sure. That could be a real conversation. But it’s just a normal pairing knife. You’re just announcing you make the thing, with the other thing that makes the first thing.

Real programmers use octal not hex.
