2023-11-29 from the editor of ~insom
------------------------------------------------------------
Just took `insom.me.uk` off the Internet for a bit. (The
website, it's still my main email domain).
Having revamped it in ~2020 I am once again feeling like not
having a blog. I saw that Jeelabs will also be going off
line. The author is just archiving and then taking it down
(something he also did before, then came back, now is going
through with taking it offline).

This will be the third time I've done something like this.
In 2004 or 2005 I wiped the site. In 2015 or 2016 I archived
it and started blogging somewhere else, then I came back to
it in 2020, posted a few times and it's time for it to go
again.
Owning a personal site still seems like an important stake
in the whole Internet not being social media or walled
gardens -- but it also does not make my happy to run it. I
think when I replace it, it will be with something which is
not a blog. Blogs aren't for me, any more (except, kind of,
this place -- which idk if anyone reads and I kind of like
that).
Something without timestamps in the URLs that draw attention
to being a moment in time. Or to the long gaps inbetween.
