Since I’ve transformed this website in a Blogging as a Service (BaaS) thing with the help of Github Actions and Github Pages my life was much easier. Let me help you do the same.

DigitalOcean was great for me when I started my first droplet, but I wanted to experiment with other technologies. So I’ve migrated my blog to Github Pages and my email to Apple Mail.

If you’re an IT professional that has to deal with old systems that have self-signed certificates you most probably had to add exceptions to your browser many times. Maybe even import those self-signed certificates locally. Unfortunately when you’re working on a customer’s jump host this is not an option. And starting with more recent version of Chrome this is not possible anymore, you don’t have the option to Add it as an exception....
