  • My blog was a custom PHP site from the early 2000s up to 2011.
  • In 2011 i built a new engine based on the Symfony framework.
  • In 2013, i switched to Python and rewrote my blog’s engine using the Django framework.
  • Somewhere between 2014 and 2015 i switched to GitHub Pages, using GitHub’s Jekyll version
  • In 2017 i went back to self-hosting, but still with Jekyll (although not GitHub’s version)
  • In 2019 i switched to Pelican, as it’s written in Python and i can hack it easier than i could Ruby

Today my site is available on https and dat (Dat browser like Beaker or DatFox is required). I also plan to make it available on IPFS soon.
