Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+## Shed a tear, fellow internet stranger Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+This was my very first blog, and I love it. I cannot imagine taking it Err z3bra.org 70 i+down, because I have so many good memories associated with it. Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+The loud-ass fan running 24/7 under my desk, preventing a good night Err z3bra.org 70 i+sleep, but necessary to reach 99.999999999% uptime between to electrical Err z3bra.org 70 i+outages… Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+Spending Wasting time typing posts in HTML, tweaking the CSS, Err z3bra.org 70 i+then markdown, tweaking the CSS, reinstalling the OS, building a makefile for it, tweaking Err z3bra.org 70 i+the CSS, starring at it, tweaking the CSS, … Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+Forcing myself into learning a topic because I HAVE TO WRITE A FUCKING Err z3bra.org 70 i+POST PER MONTH.

Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+## Monochromatic is dead, long live whatever! Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+But I grew up. I changed, and so did my interests. This blog's "engine" Err z3bra.org 70 i+is fairly static after all, and after carrying it over the years, Err z3bra.org 70 i+I need something different. Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+I'm more of a sysadmin than a programmer, and as such, I like building and Err z3bra.org 70 i+automating things. As I get older, I tend to be lazier than enthusiastic Err z3bra.org 70 i+about blogging, and the process I forced myself into with this blog Err z3bra.org 70 i+doesn't cut it anymore, and isn't "portable": Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+- pull out the repo Err z3bra.org 70 i+- `mkdir -p $(date "+%Y/%m")` Err z3bra.org 70 i+- write the article in markdown Err z3bra.org 70 i+- run `make` to generate the tarball Err z3bra.org 70 i+- realise I forgot to list the file in `config.mk` Err z3bra.org 70 i+- `make` again Err z3bra.org 70 i+- commit post in `git` Err z3bra.org 70 i+- [push it][4] and hope for the git hook to work (it never does) Err z3bra.org 70 i+- deploy the website manually from a tarball Err z3bra.org 70 i+- read the post online, and pick a typo… Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+This feels so painful now. Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+I still like to write about stuff, but I need a simpler way to do Err z3bra.org 70 i+it. I've tried a few times to change the way I blog there, but in the Err z3bra.org 70 i+end, it would mean changing all the URLs, changing the way I generate Err z3bra.org 70 i+the HTML, and totally recreate this blog from scratch, just keeping Err z3bra.org 70 i+the old articles. And as I said, this blog is full of good memories, Err z3bra.org 70 i+and being a nostalgic person here, I don't want to change it! Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+## So what's next ? Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+One thing's for sure: I'm not stopping my activity on the internet. Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+This blog will remain up, but will not receive further updates after Err z3bra.org 70 i+this post. Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+My main website (https://z3bra.org) will remain up, because I now use Err z3bra.org 70 i+it to promote the tools I write, so I'll keep updating that at least. Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+I brought back my gopher hole: [gopher://z3bra.org][5] ([http][6]), and hacked Err z3bra.org 70 i+together a [gopher proxy][6] to make it easier to read. It's far from Err z3bra.org 70 i+perfect, and rather fragile, but does the job. Err z3bra.org 70 i+At some point I'll put a relayd(8) in front of it and call it "finished". Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+I also started blogging over gopher, using [scribo][7]. The phlog is Err z3bra.org 70 i+currently hosted at [gopher://phlog.z3bra.org][8] ([http][9]). Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+This workflow suits me for now, and I like the simplicity of gopher. I Err z3bra.org 70 i+might look into [gemini][10] at some point… Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+## Closing thoughs Err z3bra.org 70 i+ Err z3bra.org 70 i+Running this blog was a great experience. Now it's time for me to move Err z3bra.org 70 i+on to something new and more refreshing. At this time, it means Err z3bra.org 70 i+[gopher][5], but this might (will!) change as time goes by.
