Technically no. Work and School dictate when we get up and go to bed. It's all relative. We could create a timezone where 12:00PM is in the morning. We are just used to this idea that morning, afternoon, evening, and night need to correspond to specific time values. For example, China uses just one timezone. So local regions just adapt to what logically makes sense. In a perfect world, local regions would adapt to the amount of daylight we have for each season, like it was before timekeeping and timezones. So school and work would shift when they start based off the rising of the sun. This isn't practical though for multiple reasons. It would cause chaos and confusion for work shifts, scheduling etc.

I'm moving everything to self hosted GitLab CE now. Will just use GitHub as a backup. This is so ridiculous at this point.

This is a goldmine for the AI scrapers. Not like they haven’t scraped all our sites already, but still…

New comment by Group_B in "Jeffgeerling.com has been migrated to Hugo"

Group_B — Sun, 04 Jan 2026 16:13:15 +0000

I've been using Hugo for the past 3 years. Biggest lesson I learned is to just fork the theme you're using and don't use submodules. There's no rush in keeping your theme up to date. Also you have complete control over the theme when its forked. I've only had stuff break on occasion when updating to a newer version of Hugo, had to change a couple things with the theme which did not take too long to fix. Curious to see how comments will be implemented though. Does not sound straightforward to add to a SSG.

I'm thinking we probably need to get more organized and start picking up the pace with this. There are rumors, which of course I am not sure how credible, but word is that the Dash will be discontinued soon. Maybe we can add another channel to the Zulip to try to get things moving.

Can’t help but laugh a bit. Not a great day for Ubisoft. Hopefully this didn’t ruin the holidays for too many employees. That would absolutely suck to get a call in for this.
