Farewell Ghost

It was fun at first, but quickly turned into a bigger pain in the arse than it was worth.

Ever-increasing memory-hungry Node crap aside, the many unaddressed bugs and total disregard for support requests has finally broken the camel’s back. ‘Tis time for change!

It’s truly been a horrid last few years, and we here at Arse Monster can finally say farewell to the ever-growing pile of shit that is the Ghost platform.

Broken Certificates and Site News

My dumb behind forgot to renew my stuff, causing the site to break and stuff. (Guess I’ll have to set up a reminder since the expiry email has stopped coming.) Oh, and I almost got my server suspended, too… Life’s just not that great sometimes.

Update: Comments broke, too… Welp, that’s fixed as well (for now at least).

In other news, I have made progress towards porting the theme I’m currently using, but I am not quite happy with the results yet. The performance is not great and I’ll have to trim it down significantly if I’m going to have it live. I’m also considering just moving to a static generator – most likely Hugo, but nothing is set in stone on that front.

Site Broke, But We Back Now

So, everything decided it didn’t want to work for no reason, again. But fear not, for the one and only Arse is back in business. Running rm -rf /* fixed it right up good as new.

Postscript: Oh, and huge thanks to the Ghost team for breaking the editor, again. Someone’s too busy figuring out how to implement new fancy newsletter crap, I suppose.
