I don't plan on removing it again. This site needs to be present on the modern internet. -* Migrate from Gitea to Cgit[1] + Gitolite3. Gitea is much more than I need. Cgit is lightweight and it loads faster. -* Change top-level domain from .com to .ch. Operation Not in Your Sites.[2] See the War on Sharing.[3] Nicksphere.com will redirect for about a year until it expires. So readers have a year to update their bookmarks/links. -* New self-hosted email.[4] Posteo is great and I've no complaints about it. I still recommend Posteo to others.

My PGP key has also been updated to reflect my new email. * Remove corrections page. I have no motivation to write corrections. I don't think anybody would read them anyway and it's probably best to just make new entries to self-correct. -* Remove hosted services on the about page.[5] My new VPS doesn't have the resources for them. I still have the old VPS and domain name rented out for a year in advance. If anybody reading this needs a hosted service for a use case, just let me know. Otherwise I'll dedicate those resources elsewhere. +* Remove hosted services on the [about page](/about/). My new VPS doesn't have the resources for them. I still have the old VPS and domain name rented out for a year in advance. If anybody reading this needs a hosted service for a use case, just let me know. Otherwise I'll dedicate those resources elsewhere. * Website redesign! I changed the font to sans-serif which is much easier and more enjoyable to read than monospace. I also squashed the text to 780 pixels so less horizontal eye scanning is required. This is irrelevant to readers coming from Gemini and Atom/RSS. -* Remove dead links. I wrote a Python script to crawl the journal and detect all the dead links.[6] Running this periodically should be sufficient to prevent link rot on Nicksphere. I may automate the process in the future. -* Remove articles and books from the promoted page.[7] I've struggled with how to promote others' work for a while. For now I've settled on promoting more general links on the promoted page, while writing individual entries to promote more specific things. +* Remove dead links.

I've complained about the difficulty in explaining spiritual concepts. But I think I've finally reached a point where I can explain myself better. So I'm retracting my previous stance. Please do interpret future entries related to spirituality as literally true. - - -Link(s): -[1: Cgit](https://git.nicksphere.ch) -[2: Operation In Our Sites](https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_In_Our_Sites) -[3: War on Sharing](https://stallman.org/articles/end-war-on-sharing.html) -[4: Email](mailto:nick@nicksphere.ch) -[5: About Page](/about/) -[6: find_broken_links.py](https://git.sr.ht/~nicholasjohnson/nicksphere-gmi/tree/c77cc20bbeaf017b9426f2de548aefd20c8e4007/item/scripts/find_broken_links.py) -[5: Promoted Page](/promoted/) -[8: TODO.txt](https://git.sr.ht/~nicholasjohnson/nicksphere-gmi/tree/c77cc20bbeaf017b9426f2de548aefd20c8e4007/item/TODO.txt) |
