moving to hugo

For a while j404.dev has been powered by a framework I made called catacombs (hopefully I remember to link it…), but now that I’m planning to upload actual content and want to make it easy to do so, hugo seemed a better option.

Here’s what I learned in the process

The Linux Experience

Things I learned while using Ubuntu as a Desktop

Installation

My installation went overall smoothly, but I did hit a few hurdles and learned some important information for future installs.

Making a bootable flash drive

Most people will swear by software like Balena Etcher, but it turns out you can flash any .iso file to a usb on Mac and Linux without any additional software with the dd command.

I tried this a little after booting up ubuntu to try Arch on some ancient macs (which mostly failed /:). The Arch Linux wiki (which has great tutorials on most linux things) has a guide on using this utility, but the way I used it was something along the lines of: sudo dd if='path/to/my/download.iso' of='' bs=4M status=progress Where the paths given to if and of are the file you want to copy the Ubuntu.iso in my case, and the drive location which would probably be something on /dev (use at your own risk!)
