I hope to actually write stuff here more

I think I just managed to remove a lot of the frustation of writing a gemlog

I was having a number of problems with gemini

My server kept crashing at random
I have never actually used any CI/CD configuration with github so I was manually writing stuff on my laptop, committing it to a repo then pulling on my VPS.
I'd get super confused where the hell I needed to put things cause my /gemini/ directory was a mess of weird symlinks

Things I did about this

abandoned gssg

I'm sure it's a great tool but it seems like a lot to solve a very simple problem. I want to run a shell script and have vim open a file and then I want that file to be linked by index.gmi

This is a trivial problem. Throwing software I do not understand with config files and stuff at it doesn't seem the solution.

So I wrote a bash script. It's trival and simple and I know exactly how it works and if it breaks it will be easy to figure out what I did wrong.

Moved to SoureHut for hosting

SourceHut now hosts gem capsules.

This means I don't have to worry about my server which I am constantly breaking by doing purposefully stupid things. I'm free to expose stuff to ssh and not worry that someone can open a few instances of the ascii aquarium and break all my shit. If it breaks, thats kinda also Drew's problem now. And I like it when my problem is also someone elses problem

automated my stuff with builds on SourceHut

now I git push and it is magically online
