Any tips for hosting a blog? i recently read this speech by deng about the pen being a major tool for exercising leadership and i want to start writing my thoughts to practice and get better.

    My advice is to choose whether you want to focus on writing or on learning how to set up the infrastructure for the website. If it is the former then go for something like writefreely or proprietary platforms like medium, substack, github pages etc.

      I’d personally avoid Medium as they’re quite unfriendly from a privacy perspective, though front-ends such as Scribe exist. Something deployable like Hugo would be the best variant imo, or making it by hand if you’re into that.

          Yeah, I know about Codeberg. Though I know they removed that anti-Cloudflare project, which is odd. I don’t know more about it, though I remember the devs of that project made a lot of drama with Codeberg.
