My SEO strategy is heretical. Search engine rankings accelerate spam from 0 to 100, so I keep a % of my sites' content unindexed. This violates incentives and makes for a good bot repellent. A search console’s sole purpose is to confirm the “efficacy”.

Writing or linking can also be risky or get you DMCA’d (it’s an angry world). If SEO is not a priority, then there’s maximum freedom. My technical friends and the curious know how to find things anyway.

My static micro blog experiment is going better than expected. Generation is still around 25 seconds hot on my old laptop as like the last time. Well… sneakily it’s closer to a semi–constant 5~10 seconds by tricking hugo into outputting empty base templates which “can” result in mostly reads by writing files that have changed (might make a blog post about this).

The temptation to bring in a js bundler is oh so very great. Deno bundle is obviously not designed to bundle js directly for the browser but you can get away with it up to a certain point.

I think my practical notes on xslt/xml are mostly complete and could work as a blog post this month. I got distracted last month trying out syncthing’s newest features… if I get around to editing those notes, they could work as a blog post at some point too.
