Annoyed by yesterday’s server problem. Essentially one of our servers was accepting incoming connections, but it couldn’t connect to another server to verify domain names for SSL certs. The whole point of having Hugo-based static blogs is to minimize dependencies, but there’s always something.

@manton is it the nature of the beast that something you cannot fix?

@manton I mean this problem with others that affect Micro.blog’s reliability

@pratik I'm not sure I understand the question. Reliability isn't one thing, it's thousands of little things. But I'm confident we get much better, there have been several server fixes recently that won't happen again.

@manton I understand that and simply trying to understand. I’m the last person to understand the technical details. Hence I asked, is it that perhaps Hugo in itself is prone to be less reliable? I may be wrong.

@pratik Oh, I see. I don't think so. There are trade-offs… The system I've come up with is much more complicated but also prioritizes performance (for blog visitors) and flexibility (for themes).
