Today marks one year of using WordPress to manage this website; I know since I paid yearly for WordPress hosting and today is the renewal. While I have years of leveraging WordPress under my belt, prior to this site I had never really used it in this capacity. I previously just ran free blogs at… Continue reading One Year of WordPress

Enable Directory Listing On Specific Directory With Nginx
Note: In the sample below, I’m using Ubuntu Linux as the host for my web server. The instructions should be the same for other flavors of Linux, though the path to your Nginx sites configuration files may be different. Generally when you navigate to a website, such as https://unusually.pink/, you don’t actually get to see… Continue reading Enable Directory Listing On Specific Directory With Nginx
Cloudflare Analytics
Anyone who knows me, reads the type of things I tweet about, and/or listens to the Same Shade of Difference podcast knows that I’m an advocate of online privacy. I’m all for blocking trackers, avoiding services from invasive companies like Facebook, and generally trying to keep as much of what I do online known only… Continue reading Cloudflare Analytics
Twenty Twenty-One WordPress Theme
While I made the change a few weeks ago, it seems fitting that my first post of 2021 should be about my swap to the Twenty Twenty-One WordPress theme. For anyone who isn’t aware, each year WordPress releases a new “official” theme for the platform. While theme-elitists out there may scoff at them in favor… Continue reading Twenty Twenty-One WordPress Theme
Adding SSH To GitHub
Between the Thanksgiving holiday and some shifting priorities when I got back to work, I hadn’t made any new commits to my GitHub account for about 10 days. This meant that I didn’t have any new posts to my recently-launched GitCommit site that makes a bit of a microblog from my commit messages. To be… Continue reading Adding SSH To GitHub
Connecting An Existing Firebase Hosting Project To A New Site
As a follow-up to my last post on GitHub Pages, I mentioned that I moved one of my websites to Firebase. Firebase is a platform from Google for creating web and mobile applications. As a PaaS offering, there are a lot of different parts to the service, but as a platform for web applications hosting… Continue reading Connecting An Existing Firebase Hosting Project To A New Site
GitHub Pages Hosting
As I had mentioned in my post about Dropbox Passwords, I’m looking to cut down on the number of services that I pay for each month. One of the areas I’ve decided to cut down on are my domains; I’m letting a few domains that I never ended up finding much of a use for… Continue reading GitHub Pages Hosting
Self-Hosting A Static Website
Earlier this week a friend reached out to me regarding a website. He had just finished developing his very first iOS game and was ready to submit it to Apple for approval. One of Apple’s myriad requirements, though, is a website containing the author’s privacy policy. My friend had no website and no idea how… Continue reading Self-Hosting A Static Website
Switching To Squarespace
If you happened to see this site around the time when the first post went up, you might notice that: The site looks very different now. A lot of what’s in that first post no longer seems to be true. For example, this is not the Rusty theme for Hugo. Those technically savvy would also… Continue reading Switching To Squarespace
It’s all about being Unusually Pink.
This domain was a completely random purchase. Earlier today while taking a break from work (which was sorely needed… I had 3 weeks off over the holidays, and coming back today was not easy), I decided to hop on Mastodon for the first time in quite a while. A friend of mine who was previously… Continue reading It’s all about being Unusually Pink.
