Advent of Code 2020 in Go: Day 1 and 2

Published on in 👨‍💻 Dev

I decided to publish my Advent of Code solutions regularly (probably every other day) here on this blog. So there are a few more posts with code to read. After all, code is a big part of my life, so it should be more present here on the blog.

Advent of Code

Published on in 🔗 Links

This project has been around for a couple of years, but this time I’m taking part in the Advent of Code for the first time. Every day there is a small programming puzzle (with two parts). I found today’s task pretty easy to implement, let’s see how it will be the next days.

Look, I love (personal) blogs, but I couldn’t care less about your “strategy for making money writing on the Internet.” But, I’ve already said that.

Is a blog really that personal when it’s purpose is just to make money? 🤔 I would call that a business blog. Probably a personal business blog.

Martin Tournoij wrote about “stupid light software”. When you try to be a bit too minimalistic with your software, it’s probably “stupid light software”.

Yes, Tomáš! I was thinking about exactly that. Just a simple SVG favicon with an Unicode emoji, maybe this one: “👨‍💻”.

I just disabled BunnyCDN for my blog. I have made a huge effort to implement efficient in-memory caching in GoBlog, including support for strong ETags that stay the same across software restarts (because they are just SHA-256 hashes of the content). I will still use BunnyCDN for the media hosted on my blog though. A CDN is probably overkill for a low-traffic fast-software-with-caching blog on a fast virtual private server with fast network. GoBlog is not WordPress. 😁

Kilobytes clubs

Published on in 💭 Thoughts

It’s kind of funny how all those “.clubs” pop up, featuring lightweight sites: 1mb.club, 250kb.club, 520kb.club.

It seems like I don’t get Webmentions from micro.blog anymore. 🤔 I missed a couple of replies. Is it because I changed the Webmention endpoint URL when re-launching my blog?
