I found that Cloudflare Pages is way more flexible than GitHub pages and more “free” in a sense (as in I am not limited in packages and stuff).

Also, I changed the theme on the website. I thought it would be harder to do that, honestly.

Anyway, I was considering switching over from GitHub Pages to Cloudflare Pages. I want to change the theme from the plain default one to something that looks better and has more features.

The current blogbase is also partially a mess. I need to fix it.

Rest assured I will try to move all the posts to the new blog.

Transfer from tech to more general

Yes. A day after I made this blog, I am changing it. This means that instead of just technology-related stuff, I will be blogging about more of the generals/creatives, like art, music, etc.

How is this going to impact this blog?

Basically, nothing will change. But, I will be posting more generics, like basic articles about activities I have done. This could be considered practice for writing/English classes, including but not limited to, AP Language and AP Literature.

Anyway, welcome aboard.

The key is hosted on the OpenPGP keyserver, and its fingerprint is D53B7C199620E19314387D004E23E7D1BE44FB14.

I will be using this key to sign my GitHub commits and any files I release.

How To Import

via command line

gpg --recv-keys D53B7C199620E19314387D004E23E7D1BE44FB14 --keyserver hkps://keys.openpgp.org

via Kleopatra

Set your keyserver to hkps://keys.openpgp.org via Configure Kleopatra:

Go to Settings, then Configure Kleopatra, then paste the keyserver into Directory Services

Next, lookup zach10smith@proton.me (my development email) on the server, and select the one with the name on it that comes from the keyserver (not WKD). This should start with D53B 7C19 9620 E193 1438:

Go to File, then Lookup On Server, then search the email provided. Select the Keyserver key.

Finally, import the key.

Closing

You should be all set now. You can now verify signatures on stuff I provide (like files).

With Kleopatra, you should just be able to download the signature file, put it in the same directory as the file, and double click the signature file to verify.

With GPG, run:

gpg --verify {signature}

Replacing {signature} with the signature file.

This seems pretty simple. I am using GitHub Pages for this, and I just have to make a markdown file to post. Seems easy.

So anyway, welcome.
