Long gone are my days of hosting my website using a dynamic web content management system like Wordpress or some custom PHP thing. My needs are simple and a static site generator is perfect. A couple years ago, I was trying to decide which one to choose and started with Pelican and it worked fine but I wanted something that felt a little more modern. Enter Hugo.

It’s 2025 and the need for privacy is more important the ever. Over the next few weeks, I plan to document the things I’ve done to add privacy to my life. I’ve made changes to my mobile phone, smart speakers around the house, services I use, and more. This is my first Privacy post, but I plan to expand on my journey as I go.
