Moved the blog from GitLab to GitHub

• July 18, 2026

This blog is hosted on Cloudflare Pages. The build has been wired up to Gitlab, so when I git push, the site is rebuilt in a Cloudflare Worker. I chose Gitlab because GitHub seems to be notoriously unreliable lately. But Gitlab has been worse for me.

Specifically, I’ve been having the following issues, all of which are intermittent. Gemini sent me down a few rabbit holes but eventually agreed that the problems are on Gitlab’s side.

• Latency. Simple pull and push commands will sometimes take 15 or 20 seconds.
• permission denied (publickey) errors. The same command will work on the next try.
• fatal: Cannot rebase onto multiple branches errors when pulling. Again, the next try will work. Gemini suggested this is because of a race condition on Gitlab’s side.

These aren’t huge problems, but they’re annoying. They interrupt my workflow, can cause me to forget what I was doing, or, like today, can send me off on debugging tangents (and then I definitely forget what I was doing).

This has me thinking, though. I don’t really need either Gitlab or GitHub. Maybe I should just deploy from my local machine using wrangler and use my home server as my git origin.
