Been a while since i did anything on this site, mostly because it was so cumbersome to update

What i used to do, is make my changes, ssh into the server, browse to the directory and then finally pull
manually.


Not anymore.
It may have taken me a stupidly long time, but i actually have a slightly better solution.

What i did, is write a simple program in rust, which basically updates a local git repository
if you send a GET request to a specific URL.

Commonly, this is called a webhook.
I honestly love them. Forgejo has easy to set up webhooks for when you push code, or do other things that you
configured, so it was really easy to configure this
behaviour.



I think that i will be using this blog more now, maybe ill also make the site a bit more... aesthetically pleasing..
