Finally I started migrating my personal blog gulu-dev.com to hugo, away from Bitcron, which I’m afraid is probably no longer a great choice for blog hosting, after writing 107 posts there for 6 years (2014-2020).

More freedom, less stucking

I have already experimented with hugo for a while and have created a new blog this week, and will migrate all stuff from Bitcron in the near future.

There are several reasons behind the decision:

• gitee.com is pretty much faster than Bitcron/FarBox within China
• hugo is much more customizable than an automatic engine
• git-based-repository holds revision history intrinsically, and probably preserves more reliability and integrity than Dropbox file syncing

No More ‘504 Gateway Time-out’

The last thing kicked me away from Bitcron/Farbox is, intermittent 504, which is said “to be fixed when there is a fix”.

This is terrible.

I’m afraid Haipo no longer has much enthusiasm in this project. Though I’m willing to pay a bit more than I did for a stable service, it probably doesn’t yield enough revenue to keep it self worth maintaining any more.

The migration period

• There might be a few months ahead to complete the migration process.
• I will post on both sides before everything is settled here.

(2021.01) 情况更新

去年 10 月，我开始将我的 blog 从 Bitcron 迁移到一个更合适的地方。现在技术上的迁移已经完成，老的文章日后有机会再逐渐同步过来。

访问方式

• 新的 Blog 仍然通过这里访问：https://gulu-dev.com
• 底层是 Hugo 生成的静态页面，方便定制，速度和稳定性也较以前大为提高。

(2021.09) 再次更新

• 我开始使用 Netlify 托管整个网站的部署和访问（自动化程度大大提高）
