Why?

I have been thinking about making a blog for a while because I will spend hours solving random problems only to forget what I did and running into them a year later. This will function basically like a how-to guide for myself but hopefully it helps someone at some point. Also, I know the name is kinda atrocious but it makes me laugh.

How?

I decided to use Hugo because it’s easier than making my own blog. (I tried, it works but is a pain)

I will also be deploying this on Azure because I’ve recently been studying for the AZ-204 certification. Luckily it’s pretty easy to deploy static sites on Azure, and even easier with Hugo because there’s already Microsoft docs on how to do it.

I am already using Cloudflare for some of my other hosting so I just made a CNAME there and added a custom domain inside of Azure portal.

Pro tip for future me: you can just put the CSS for the Terminal theme in the static folder, don’t mess with the submodule!

When?
