The decision to start publishing this blog: Hugo + PaperMod, GitHub Actions deploying to GitHub Pages under a custom domain, a private source repo force-pushing built output to a separate public repo, and a GitHub username rename along the way.
A same-day side quest after getting the domain working: a static digital business card at a new subdomain, served entirely separately from the main app, with a vCard-download button, a WhatsApp click-to-chat link, and a small run-in with Cloudflare’s email obfuscation.
Got a domain with my own name on it, found a backdoor I’d accidentally left open while reviewing access settings, and hit silent delivery failures even with SPF/DKIM/DMARC all correctly configured.
