Gitlab on JOURNAL.ROBBI.MY

Taking down robbinespu.gitlab.io and robbinespu.github.io

Fri, 13 Sep 2024 04:07:07 +0800

Today, I decided to unpublish my old blog websites, robbinespu.gitlab.io and robbinespu.github.io, from public access.

I transitioned from GitHub Pages to GitLab Pages and started using my own domain about 2–3 years ago. The CI/CD scripts to build the old pages are still functional, and the repositories still exist (in private git). I’ve only disabled them from being publicly published.

Why? I’ve noticed that search engines are focusing more on indexing and crawling my old website. Although I added a notice on the old pages informing visitors that I migrated to a new domain 2–3 years ago, the traffic hasn’t shifted much. Most of my visitors are organic and likely just interested in the content.

Commenting System - Utterances removed, just use email

Sun, 22 Aug 2021 07:18:02 +0800

Previously I use Disqus as commenting system on my older version of website (back then when I still use Jekyll) but after reading they privacy policies and saw lot of complaints about from internet users, I decide to move on to Utterances.

On 21 August 2021, I decided to remove Utterances from this website too because it look silly for a Gitlab (host) pages using Github commenting system approaches.

I once think we can use good old mailing lists as an alternative, that why I configure, setup sourcehut and groups.io mailing list aka public inbox, so the discussion will be publicly for everyone and maybe it contain something useful for references but it is difficult to make hassle to handle.

Bismillahirahmanirrahim..

Alhamdulillah dengan izin Allah aku berjaya membuat salinan penuh laman blog (nenez9595.blogspot.com) Allahyarham pensyarah aku iaitu Prof Dr Hj Sazali. Boleh baca penulisan bahagian 1, 2 dan 3 sekiranya berminat dengan perjalanan yang dah aku lalui sebelum berjaya buat salinan penuh laman blog beliau.

Oleh sebab clone / mirror yang aku telah cuba dan buat tu hasil dia tak berapa cantik dan cun, maka aku fikir aku kene fix kan kod python yang aku buat waktu cubaan plan C yang aku ceritakan pada bahagian 2

Changelog / History

Fri, 25 Jun 2021 21:49:16 +0800

Version 1.0 - 1.2 (Blogger, Drupal and WP)

Look at that! This is my first design for my personal blog. I just use blogger platform + blogspot domain at this time, thus theme a self redesign based on existing basic theme from a blog (I forgot her name, but she are undergrad from UTeM that time).

The reason, I start write a blog is because my lecturer Profesor Madya Dr Hj Mohd Sazali (allahyarham), encourage everyone to wrote. He said it okey if you can’t publish paper or book, but you can write a blog. Make it something useful as amal jariah (benefaction) to everyone who read it.

Moved from Github to Gitlab

First of all, I decide to use Gitlab as my platform now. Previously, I using Github pages to host my previous blog ¹, my previous articles are still there. I start a fresh and new blog here on Gitlab.

If you ask me why I choose Gitlab, my answer is Gitlab offer lot of feature compare to Github.

Busy with real life

I kinda busy with my real life right now. Most of my free time are spent for family and because of my nature of work, I need to travel overseas during project commissioning or ramp-up support. Plus, I spend more time on developing and testing my project.
