On my personal site (also built with Hugo) I post images of food I have eaten and media I have consumed. I could use Instagram, Bluesky or X but I want the content to be mine and stay mine. And I am doing it because I like to blog things not because I want the interaction on social media.

- dwood_dev 2y agoWhere did you settle on for your image hosting? I like GH Pages and Hugo, but it feels dirty to put images in a git repository. At the same time, GitHub does allow 5GB per repo, so I'm torn.

I wrote about this setup here[1]. [1]: https://rednafi.com/misc/behind_the_blog/ https://rednafi.com/misc/behind_the_blog/

- rednafi 2y agoYeah, the whole point of this is tracking the progress of something, not vanity interaction. This is why I decided to leave it out of the main RSS feed to avoid spamming readers.
- marcosdumay 2y agoSo... you want to use your blog as some kind of a log ported to the web? Yeah, most tools are built to support something different.
- rednafi 2y agoNot the entire blog, just a single page, yes.
