Thanks for the summary :)

Take your meds. You are seeing dogs again.

How exactly do you think that static file gets ‘updated with every change’ automatically? You need a backend process or script to watch for changes, format the data, and rewrite the file to disk. That is backend processing.
I have the feeling you are confusing wordpress with “wordpress.com”. Because the alternatives you mentioned are alternatives to that.

// edit: correction because I think there is a misundestanding here.

I take the L and admit that what you say is possible. But for me it would not make sense. Yes, static generation is an alternative. But my current setup is a WordPress/wp-cli publishing pipeline with scheduling, media handling, categories, archives, admin UI, and automation. Replacing that with Hugo or similar would be a migration/rebuild project, not just ‘remove the backend.’

What are you talking about?

I’m not even using hosted wordpress. I run my own server. I mean open source self hosting alternatives. Static sites are like somewhat opposite to what I do. Feed is the definiton of “not static”. And with running my own server I need cloudflare to cache stuff so traffic won’t overload it.

It’s basicall a shitpost blog with a 24/7 Meme feed.

Wordpress with wp-cli is perfect. I love it

😆

No caching just means the HTML is cached on the edge. It’s bad but it’s not that bad. Nobody can do anything because of lack of tokens or auth cookies. But they can read internal admin pages and sensitive information. You basically have cloudflare in front of your server and when admin pages are cached by cloudflare when somebody logs in, the pages are also cached and everybody can read them.

Can confirm. I am the average internet addict.

and as the post already confirms I am probably disabled.

What is a decent alternative then?

Vibecoding everything from scratch?

Thanks for the encouragement. It wasn’t the first time and it probably won’t be the last. Being stupid is paradoxically the price you pay for getting smart. Learning from your mistakes … like … multiple times…

That’s what the different Lanes are for. Timeless memes with no connection to current events and trends go into the basic autoposter. Funny trendy stuff with recent cultural context go into slowlane. Gets posted more often. And The fastlane is for polticial stuff and jokes that will be old tomorrow.

It’s a bunch of ugly shellscripts and cronjobs. I have to clean it up before I put it on github or the code police will arrest me.
