The archive of what I posted on Twitter, which I now self host due to a lack of trust in Twitter and some other reasons.

I'll soon begin refelcting all my Mastodon posts here too. I'm happier self-hosting or maintaining an archive of my content on URLs that I can own.

There are tools to help you do this too. Such as this one from the makers of Eleventy.

@tlakomy It's the only issue I've had so far, to be fair.

@jaffathecake Clearly @DailyMailUK are more interested in being first than being accurate. Or being responsible. Or being honest. Or being journalists.

Lots of big questions at this time of year. But this is perhaps the biggest. https://twitter.com/comedyincrown/status/933699747000483840

@ianfeather I'd love to kick this around. What might not have been practical a few years ago is getting more possible. But yeah 7 million pages is rather a lot!

@ianfeather Good question & genuine consideration. I don't have data to share ATM (but imagine case studies will surface). @GoHugoIO is *lightning* fast. In dev it can also just regen the pages/templates in focus and there are techniques for handling big sites: https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2016/08/using-a-static-site-generator-at-scale-lessons-learned/

@ChrisFerdinandi Some good background in this post which echoes much of my thinking:

I'd also recommend. Exploring @GoHugoIO. It's a blazing fast SSG and fun to build with.

After that explore some of the growing oss ecosystem via: https://www.netlify.com/open-source/

@ChrisFerdinandi You'll probably already know loads about it. Much of it is not really new. But when you add in some modern tooling, automation and microservices... it can unlock all sorts of fun!

@jshez Yep.

In fact, it has a very configurable publishing workflow. In effect it is an authoring UI which manages your content in git. And it removes the need for authors to ever know about git or even have a Github account.

But behind the scenes it is git PRs and merges. I'm a fan!

I love, and recognise, this sentiment from @smashingmag:

"In times when we fight all the craziness and narrow-mindedness around us, we need to remind ourselves how wonderful a vast majority of the web community actually is..."
