Thanks Medium for blocking all my educational articles ... Time to move out anyway 😉

@lupyuen not sure if worth it, but I've been trying out ghost on a yunohost instance and it works nice!

@Fkrauss No worries I'm already migrating my articles to GitHub Pages ... Mirrored to GitLab for redundancy 🙂

@lupyuen Very interesting articles. Enjoying the one on Seeed Fusion PCB. What will you do now, without medium driving content to your articles?

@fluffy Thanks! 😀 My new articles on are already hosted on GitHub Pages, so everything is good.

As for my older articles ... I'm kinda ashamed of the PCB and Blue Pill experiments ... I'll just let them fade away with Medium 😉

@lupyuen Ha! Well, what then would you recommend for a custom PCB in 2021? I found this line to be quite romantic: "over one weekend this hardware newbie managed to pick up the basics of PCB design, make simple PCB modifications and submit a valid order for assembled PCBs. "

@fluffy Haha I should really defer to the experts ... I made two PCBs with Seeed ... But only one worked 🤔

@fluffy The old articles are still visible on archive.org, without the pics and gists (source code)

I'm a little upset that Medium won't let archive.org do a proper archival for posterity... 🙁

(My new articles on GitHub Pages archive properly with archive.org)

@lupyuen Maybe write a scipt for the job? I believe many will have tje same demand.

@randomwalker Someone should offer a paid service for migrating Medium articles to GitHub or GitLab Pages 😉

@lupyuen Thank you for this, as a reader/consumer I hate medium (or any service that requires a login to read). As a rule if i see a link is a medium article I wont even open it. So appreciate that you reconize that and share it through other more open means too.

@freemo @lupyuen as a workaround you can use pocket or more FOSS-friendly version - wallabag. It cuts off a lot of useless info from the page leaving all important stuff and you can read it later from web or phone/tablet (in this case even offline).

@torresjrjr @freemo @lupyuen Man, SourceHut's been lookin' like a real good GitHub contender for a while now. I wish it was more popular!

@lupyuen Wait I'm out of the loop; why are they blocking you? :o
