Did y’all survive Independence Day weekend? I think I did. I hope.
I think it may be time in the next few days to perform my server move from Vultr to Hetzner… again. I switched back to Vultr because I was not very impressed with the performance I was getting from Hetzner. Notably, I would have to shut down my webserver in order to rebuild the site when I was still using Next.js. There is a trade-off for better performance, though… I am paying double what I paid Hetzner per month for the privilege. Ouch.
So, considering I still don’t have a job, I should have made this move before I moved (which is another thing to add to the “things I should have thought about before I graduated and moved multiple states away” list) — but now that I am actively coming up on a situation where I need multiple separate VPS’s in order to do what I want, it would be much more cost-effective to go back to Hetzner. So… that’s what I’m going to be doing soon.
If y’all have any tips on how to build a CI/CD system for sites like mine (Astro + NGINX reverse proxy) or how to Dockerize Astro sites, specifically as part of a Forgejo Action (i swear to god it has been a lot harder than it needs to be to make a containerized setup work), please reach out opens in a new tab . I am just a widdle gal and I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing and everything is just way too confusing.
Finally, right now I am writing this journal entry in iA Writer opens in a new tab , but I think for my next entry I should be crazy
and write it using a Neovim Markdown extension… Technically, since they’re written in Lua, I could make my own extension to add basic
MDX parsing for the components I use (for example, making MDXCallouts look a little more like they would in the browser)…
which would also be a good excuse to start thinking about how I could represent these components in plaintext or

oh and pick up the phone, show me it was real opens in a new tab for me okay? thanks
