Most of my posts/boosts will be about my transition and LGBTQIA+/leftist topics, but a few will be about Software Engineering.
If you want to follow, please have a bio and/or a few public posts, or link to old/alt account that already followed me.
in the spirit of moving away from US tech companies, my next step would be migrating away from Azure for my personal projects.
it would be perfect if Hetzner would have a hosted kubernetes service, that way I don't have to think much about infrastructure and can just deploy my stuff (well… my ancient blog circa 2008-2012 is ASP.NET WebForms on Windows, but we can ignore that 😅).
there is something called CloudFleet that does exactly that (managed k8s on Hetzner), but I haven't heard anything about it.
If anybody has any solid suggestions, I need k8s, file or blob storage, and maybe managed sql db (but I can manage without that for personal stuff).
@ics I've seen a similar idea in a tweet
TV ldea: #NotAllSnakes Men who say "Not All Men" are introduced to a variety of snakes. Not all of them are venomous.
I recently spent a few days on a small little project 👀
So I used to have a blog that I wrote on from 2008 till 2012, and it was hosted on a domain under my deadname (***selim dot me), I wrote the code for the blog myself (in ASP WebForm 😂) and it's been running on Azure for many years until that day (believe it or not, I had a few posts that got hits from Google searches).
So I wanted to stop paying for Azure but I also hate the idea of deletion, I don't want to completely erase my old self. So I settled on converting it into a static site (so that it's free) and I also redacted my deadname from all the pages.
It now lives on https://legacy.nourselim.fyi, check it if you want to see a blast from the past 😊✨
