GitHub Pages has been performing really poorly lately. I'm not exactly sure what the exact problem is; it might be something strange with Azure DNS or a glitch with the auto Jekyll rebuild script on their site. Regardless, it's just not handling things well. It's not building new posts or adding tags to them – meh...

But, as we developers often say, "Everything works perfectly on my laptop!" 😁

I've finally had enough of it, so it's time for some changes that I've been contemplating for a while:

1. Moving my domain to a CloudFlare (Godaddy sucks).
2. Changing my nickname on GitHub (because I can). Anyway, my page is broken now, so it's the perfect time!
3. Ditching GitHub.io and hosting my blog on a VDS or even at home via an Orange Pi Zero 😂

Stop laughing – no one can stop me from using Ngrok + Cloudflare's free CDN, NO ONE!

So, yeah, I wrote a new blog post, but github.io pages wont update it even after an hour after "deploy".

Keep in touch, it wont take long 🙂 I am only need to find this orange pi and blow the dust off it

Oh sheesh, we might not even need coudflare there days, lol 🤨

This piece of garbage is online. There are some troubles with DNS, and I have also decided not to use ngrok. This story, along with some instructions, will definitely be written as a post later on 😂

Do not say nothing. The site is back online... from GitHub Pages 😱


Yeah, it is a huge pain in the ass to serve your blog from home NAT.
Okay, it is not a pain, and it might even be cheap enough, but I feel that it is starting to take a lot more time than I thought.
I'll talk about it later in a separate blog post, I believe.


Anyway, the new small post is online now.

I am pretty sure that the problem was either in Azure CDN or in the default Jekyll build flow (now it lives behind Cloudflare).
Fortunately, there is now an option to configure your own GitHub Actions for the building process; I might be checking it out later.

I am not sorry for buying Pi3b because it cost me less than the market price, and as a bonus, I met a nice guy 🙂
There are a bunch of cool things I might build with this little bastard; probably the next purchase will be a soldering iron 😂

Long time no see, everyone! Hello there 🙂

I'm here to bring you a serious talk about Object-Oriented Design Patterns.
Stay tuned for some insightful and engaging content! Thanks 🧠

Yeah, I know, software design and system design.

Yet, today I bring you a post about Jekyll and how to set up your personal site or blog in one evening without any coins leaking out of your pocket.

I've been asked to write about it, so at least a few of my beloved readers might find it useful and interesting.

Hey guys, I've just updated my page.
I got rid of the separate 'About Me' section and consolidated all the necessary information on the landing page – including greetings, a CV download button, a recap of my working experience, and a learning tracker.
What do you think? 🤨

I've also added the Bookshelf page, where I'll mention all the great books that I highly recommend for everyone 'in IT guy' to read.

This is a painful topic; I wasn't expecting, posting that on dev.to 😏
