Going to start #blogging. Mostly how-to’s, methodology, and philosophy (as it relates to #hacking and #infosec).

What blogging software or platforms do you prefer? Either hosted or self-hosted.

@tinker i wrote my own:

github.com/brennen/wrt

which is not to say i recommend that anyone use it, but i do recommend the practice in itself. if rolling your own blog engine sounds like a waste of time (and fair enough!), i advocate barebones static site generators that rely on files. files are futureproof; files are low on attack surface; files work with my text editor and git.

i wouldn't say i love jekyll, personally, but it works. i hear decent things about hugo & ghost.
