Moving my blog from Bearblog to Hugo with Sourcehut hosting

After using Bearblog for like two years, I decided to move to Hugo.io for building my blog and host it via Sourcehut. (The reason why I prefer Sourcehut over Github)

Bearblog is my first blogging experience and I enjoyed it a lot. It is almost a perfect platform for blogging and it almost has everything what most bloggers need. For me, I just want to have full control over my blog without being dependent on a specific platform. I need this because I love tinkering the hell out of my code and I can not do that with Bearblog. This decision is just to improve my coding skills.

There probably will be missing things, bugs or weird things on my blog until I get comfortable with Hugo and Sourcehut. Since I am enjoying tinkering them, hopefully I will bring it to a okayish level soon.

After I fully finish the transition, I won’t be on the Bearblog discovery anymore. Bearblog discovery is a very good solution for interacting with other bloggers. But I can do that via webrings, mentioning and so on.

I will leave this Bearblog blog with it’s Bearblog subdomain for archiving and put a link for redirection to my main blog.

Since I am in love with Bearblog styling, I will use the same styling on my new blog. The domain is same: dostoynikov.com

After submitting few more posts, I will stop posting here soon.

Thanks for Bearblog, Herman!
