scripts/migrate-posts-to-writings.mjs converts all 20 posts under
content/posts/ into the new writings schema — normalizes dates to
bare TOML local-dates, converts the one unambiguous Zola shortcode in
use (youtube embeds) to a plain <iframe>, and strips the now-meaningless
{% raw %}/{% endraw %} escape tags. content/posts/ itself is untouched;
this only adds content/writings/*.
Also generates 301 redirects from the old /posts/<slug>/ URLs to the
new /writings/<slug>/ ones into sws.toml, inside marker comments so
re-running the script regenerates that block idempotently instead of
duplicating it.
Two posts (from-c-to-machine-code, self-hosting-gitea-and-mirroring-github)
use note/tip/warning/danger callout shortcodes that have no Astro
equivalent yet — flagged by the script rather than guessed at, since
that needs a real component once the design system exists.
Verified: astro check clean, full site builds (80 pages, all real
migrated posts render), redirect generation confirmed idempotent
across repeated runs.

How it begins
In this post-web2.0 age, people seem to blog less and less, and blogs seem to be dying slowly. People are separated in different Apps where the content is not searchable by search engines.
However, I still prefer to write using a blog.
Why this?
The best way to learn something is to teach others the knowledge that you have gained. Regurgitating that information will solidify it more firmly in your mind.
What I write?
Mostly random stuff and a few tutorials. I'll see where this goes.Although some of the blog posts may only be helpful to myself, but who knows, I hope they will be helpful to someone else in some day.
Static blog generator
I use hugo as a static site generator.After trying a couple of blogging platforms and trying to build a few from scratch I decided to throw in the towel and opt in for a ready made solution, no need reinventing the wheel.
Hugo is one of the most popular open-source static site generators. With its amazing speed and flexibility, Hugo makes building websites fun again.Hugo provides a robust theming system that is easy to implement but capable of producing even the most complicated websites.Hugo's Go-based templates provide just the right amount of logic to build anything from the simple to complex. For this site I decided to go with the even theme. The commenting system is implemented using Utterances
Blog site hosting
The site is hosted on github pages as evident by the *.github.io domain name.I prefer this mainly because it is free and I don't have to switch to a different hosting provider.
