Moving to Cloudflare Pages

No more fruit

I moved this site to cloudflare pages ages ago. This was so that I can continue to use Hexo.io while detaching myself from hosting the site locally - which I was doing on a raspberry pi in my garage. The hexo generation occurs from my Mint daily driver, with posts written using Dillinger.io because my brain simply refuses to memorise markdown for longer than a day. The result is stored in a git repo with Cloudflare pages running a production build as Ubuntu with npm/hexo for each build.

At some point I lost the original local Hexo install on the pi and rather than trying to reconstruct the lost markdown source documents of every post, I opted to just start again. I also opted to change the theme to something darker now that my eyes detest bright screens. This will no doubt need some more tweaking to get the filesize back to the bare minimum that it used to be and for any 404s.

But for now

I will spend the next few days poking and tweaking this to hopefully remove all the dead ends. I may even switch up the theme a bit. I might even go crazy and decide on what I should be using this all for. First step is to get tags working again so that I can make a post about how I did this, because I just know I’ll forget. Again. For the fourth time.
