+If you are reading this it means either you are trying to understand who I'm
+(are you a recruiter by any chance?) or you are simply bored. In any way, this
+is the very first blog post, and it means you have come to the end of the road
+(since this is the beginning). I always loved to have a place where I can write
+down my thoughts about a new technology, a framework or what I did in order to
+achieve a goal in a hobby project. That is not all though: I was searching for a
+place where I was also able to express my ideas regarding modern dilemmas like
+privacy issues and decentralization. I am not the kind of guy who likes social
+networks, so I never had the chance to express them. Until now.
+
+## How this blog is built
+
+### The website
+
+This blog is a very simple [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) website. If you do not
+know what it is, its basically a static website generator. It takes Markdown
+documents and converts them in HTML pages. If you applied a specific theme then
+it builds the page according to that theme. Hugo has a huge selection of themes
+in his [dedicated page](https://themes.gohugo.io/), so basically picking up one
+and starting from there is very simple. If you are curious about how I made it,
+you can check out the source at my [personal git server
+instance](https://git.poldebra.me/polpetta/bitdispenser.dev), where I started
+hosting my code when [Microsoft bought
+Github](https://news.microsoft.com/announcement/microsoft-acquires-github/). I
+have simply picked up the simpler and cleanest blog theme out there, following
+Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's idea:
+
+> less is more
+
+It will be a success if more than two people actually starts reading what I
+write here, at least I want them to read without this blog without having their
+eyes bleeding with an extravagant color combination.
+
+### Hosting
+
+The real problem of hosting a website nowday is not how to build it (as you can
+see) but _where_ you can host it. There are plenty of cloud provides: AWS,
+Google Cloud, DigitalOcean, Scaleway, etc... every day there is a new one
+popping up. They all offers the possibility to host your website pretty easily,
+especially if the website is a static one like this (e.g. using a S3 bucket).
+Since I like challenges and I also like to learn new stuff, I though that
+hosting the website in this way was boring. At the same time, I wanted to have a
+good uptime and to not meddle too much under the hood. My (dream) requirements
+were:
+* always up
+* good response time
+* possibility to host as much data as I want
+* using a hosting free as in beer and free as in freedom
+
+Now, reading this I imagine you are thinking I'm going crazy, and maybe I'm, but
+that is not the case. In fact, multiple weeks prior to writing this article,
+while trying to kill the boredom caused by COVID-19 lockdown, I discovered
+[IPFS](https://ipfs.io/). I already heard of it at University, but I never
+bothered too much to understand what was about. I though "well, it surely is
+some sort of filesystem". I was somewhat right, but not the way I thought.
+
+IPFS acts like a peer-to-peer network, where nodes hash the content
+they want to share to let other nodes grab it. You can grab this content using
+your local node or using one of the many available gateways. Nodes can "pin" a
+file too, in order to keep it locally and to serve it to other nodes. If a files
+gets pinned by different nodes and gains traction it basically becomes
+undeletable from the web.
+
+ <!-- TODO add multi page hosting section with IPFS -->
