I see. I don’t know much about static site generators, but I remember at one point I found out that the plan9 website was generated from troff source. I tried to do something similar but never managed to get it to work. Maybe also because I’m not good with troff. Do you use markdown or something similar as input?

I feel the same about many of the services we use. It’s a balance between convenience on the one hand, and freedom/privacy on the other. I’ve been back and forth over the years with this. Had an ubuntu phone when they came out, and even something like copy/pasting wasn’t working well. There are so many options now, but it’s hard to break out of habits when the habits are comfortable. I’ve been thinking about switching from GitHub too. Really I just use it as backup, I don’t use different branches and merging etc. I wish I knew how to use it better though.

A random idea: Could the SDFEU be a place for skill sharing? I bet the combined knowledge of all the SDF users is impressive, maybe there could be like workshops or themed collaborative how-to writing, with the goal of increasing FOSS-ness and promoting non-commercial technologies in the internet age? I wonder if anyone would be interested in something like that.
