Other note

Sooner or later you will hit html/template, and realize it's actually very weird and has a lot of weird issues.

Don't use html/template.

I grew to like Templ instead

Oh wow, it was not just some guy publishing fradulent papers in fradulent journals that nobody reads or cites. He had giant impact, was cited tens of thousands of times!

I hate the actual content he produces - the first time I watched it, I kept thinking it's a trailer because of all the cuts and I wondered, where is the actual video, when I realized no, I am watching the actual video - but I have to commend the grind.

He is trully obsessive about getting the most views, almost soullessly designing the perfect viral content, caring about every second. He literally starts with the thumbnail and title and only then works out the rest of the video!

I also like this 2 years old video of visiting his studio. This guy literally sleeps in his giant studio, everything is super optimized.

Of course the end result is entirely pointless. But still. I respect the grind.

(I also love when he "builds 1000 houses in Africa" or whatever, and he usually never even mentions the country or the place name. It's not that important. But at least he does some good, I guess.)

No it's not.

Libraries don't make copies. They lend you the actual books.

Copyright is literally right to copy. Scanning the book and doing something with, such as lending it forward, is copying.

(The covid thing strengthens the case of the book guys - the CDL suddenly let anyone get anything because Archive decided to change the rules unilaterally)

He also has a French citizenship despite having no connections to France, which he somehow magically gotten due to "merit foreigner" status in 2021.

Le Monde couldn't figure out why he gotten that citizenship, there is very little detail.

Durov was naturalized as a French citizen in August 2021, giving him European Union citizenship. Le Monde described the naturalisation as "mysterious", since Durov had not resided in France apart from brief visits. Le Monde suggested that Durov was naturalised via the rarely used "merit foreigner" procedure that is awarded directly by the French government to people viewed to have contributed exceptionally to France's international influence or international economic relations.

It's a static site generator. You have some templates, some content, some themes, all in a repo.

Hugo looks at that and generates some HTML that you then need to somehow serve yourself.

It has some positives and negatives with respect to WordPress. Mostly, unlike WordPress, you don't have auth (authentication AND authorization) within the system itself, but have some access to some repo+some CI system+some upload system+some HTTP server through.... some other means.
