This is the exact setup behind this blog. If you want a fast, low-maintenance tech blog that deploys itself every time you push to Git — here is how to build one. By the end you will have: A Hugo blog with the PaperMod theme Automatic deploys to Cloudflare Pages on every git push A day-to-day workflow that is just: write → push → done Why this stack Hugo is a static site generator. It turns markdown files into a complete website in milliseconds. No database, no runtime, no server to patch or keep running. The output is just files. ...

This is the exact stack behind this blog. If you want a fast, self-deploying tech blog with zero servers, zero monthly bills, and VS Code as your entire CMS — here is how to build it. By the end you will have: A Hugo blog with the PaperMod theme VS Code as your editor, file manager, git client, and terminal — all in one Automatic deploys to Cloudflare Pages on every git push Why this stack Hugo is a static site generator. It turns markdown files into a complete website in milliseconds. No database, no runtime, nothing to keep running. ...

FTP isn’t a workflow. It’s a game of Russian Roulette with your source code. It doesn’t know who changed what. It has no memory of previous versions. It’s blind, manual, and prone to breaking mid-upload. If you’re still dragging files into a folder to “deploy”—or worse, manually creating site-backup-v2-final-actual-FINAL.zip before every change—you’re working harder than you need to. Enter The Solo Developer Workflow. In this guide, we’re building a professional pipeline: Local → Git → Server. No more “ghost files,” no more zip-file hoarding, and no more deployment anxiety. Just a clean, versioned, and automated path to production. ...

The Aruba AP-325 (Model: APIN0325) is an enterprise-grade 802.11ac Wave 2 access point that routinely appears on the secondary market after corporate Wi-Fi refreshes. The hardware is excellent — fast radios, strong range, rock-solid stability — but there’s a catch. Most surplus AP-325 units are “Campus APs”, meaning they require an Aruba Mobility Controller to function. Without one, they’re effectively useless. The good news: the AP-325 (and other similar Aruba models) can be converted to Instant (IAP) mode, allowing it to run standalone or form a controller-less cluster with other Instant APs. Once converted, it behaves exactly like a native Instant AP — no licenses, no subscriptions, no controller. ...
