In the previous article Pages CMS: A Barely Adequate Backend for HUGO Blog, I mentioned that Pages CMS can be used as a backend management panel for Hugo articles. However, there is an issue that is not easy to solve, which is that Hugo’s default directory structure is difficult to adapt to Pages CMS. This is not a unique problem for Pages CMS; any other CMS might encounter this issue when adapting to Hugo. But with the strong support of the Hugo community, I eventually solved this problem.
After migrating from WordPress to Hugo, I have always missed the convenience of WordPress’s backend management and its mobile app. For this reason, I previously wrote an article on How to Update a Hugo Blog on an Android Phone. However, using Vscode and StackEdit on a phone is still somewhat cumbersome, mainly due to the small screen size, which makes fine-tuned operations difficult with touch controls. During this process, I also tried several Hugo CMS solutions, but none met my needs.
My Hugo blog has been hosted on GitHub for the past year, but with the upgrade of the Hugo version, a lot of invalid fragmented files were generated during multiple refactorings. Additionally, all the image files from my blog generated a large amount of junk files during the conversion to webp, causing the GitHub repository to grow excessively, nearing the 1GB warning line. Therefore, I decided to clean up the repository today.
This is an answer on Zhihu. The original question was Why did you give up on your personal blog (personal website)?. I think the reason someone invited me to answer this question is because I had previously answered some similar topics, but those were just brief responses. This time, I’ll elaborate a bit more.
Just after Black Friday, I originally planned to buy a few small VPSs, and indeed, I bought several. However, after a few days of testing, I only kept one. The main reason was that I got lucky and registered a new Oracle account, scoring a very suitable cloud server for free. This saved me money, so I returned most of the VPSs I bought during Black Friday.
Recently, I found a navigation website template that suits me perfectly: Hugo Theme Start. Since it’s built using Hugo, a static site generator, it naturally ranks among the fastest websites in the world. Deployment address: https://leftn.com
Recently, there have been multiple personal extremist incidents in China, some of which have resulted in significant casualties, severely impacting social stability and order. I previously wrote an article titled Some Thoughts on Homicide Prevention that briefly outlined and introduced the prevention and control of conventional homicides, from theory to practice. However, the content was quite broad, and there are notable differences in specific prevention strategies compared to the current personal extremist incidents aimed at societal revenge. Here, I will supplement my thoughts on preventing personal extremist incidents.
Many people today are accustomed to viewing the world through a binary lens—left or right, black or white, this or that. For example, when categorizing people, they often divide them into liberal arts students and science students. The typical stereotype of liberal arts students is that they lack logical thinking.
