A static website

I was thinking for a long time to have a place to express my thoughts, or simply to write my doings, mostly for my self, but making them public, required me being thoroughful.

After being for a long time a web developer, writing from basic html files full of <font> <table> <marquee> tags, then came Perl cgis, PHP, styling with CSS, some jquery and I also became a drupal contributor in times of drupal 6 and 7.

But then came EU’s GDPR, and everything became more complicated, when using cms you lose control of what things are including the third party modules, if they are tracking users or not, so I decided not to have a web site.

Not only that, I quit being a web developer at all and focused on my sysadmin career.

Few months ago my colleague and friend Alejandro showed me a web he started writing using markdown and compiling it to static pages, and I thought: yeah, it looks promising!

Static websites are the simplest way to improve the security of a website, because most of the attacks are performed against vulnerabilities of scripting interpreters or third party libraries, and protecting yourself against most of the http server vulnerabilities is as simply as updating your server packages.

So here I am, giving hugo a try, lets see how it ends.
