静态网站悖论
个人网站的两种不同实现方式：一种是复杂的内容管理系统（CMS），另一种是简单的静态 HTML 文件。文章指出，尽管大多数普通用户倾向于使用复杂的解决方案（如 WordPress），但实际上，只有少数专业软件工程师能够选择更简单的静态网站。

前两天刚好听朋友说 square space 已经涨到了近乎搞笑的 $25 月费，做不用来盈利的个人博客实在难以 justify。这篇文章中吐槽得很在点子上：
normal users are stuck with a bunch of greedy clowns that make them pay for every little thing, all while wasting ungodly amounts of computational power to render what could have been a static website in 99% of cases.
普通用户被困在了一群屁大点功能都要收费的贪婪小丑手里，与此同时浪费着人神共愤额度的算力来渲染 99% 的情况下都可以作为静态的网站。
当然原文中说的“只有少数专业软件工程师才能选择更简单的静态网站”略微夸张并不认同，因为静态站至少是比 self-host 的动态 CMS 少太多维护了。我的 backlog 里也一直躺了篇安利新手用静态站并拉踩 WP 的文，不过网上这种文已经有无数了也还是拦不住前赴后继往各种 CMS 的坑里冲的新手，觉得写了又有什么意义呢就还搁着没写。（当然迟早会像以前反复造的无数轮子一样被废话欲战胜的 but not today）

#AFP journalist blocked from flying to #Ethiopia's #Tigray region
An AFP journalist was on Thursday barred from boarding a flight to Tigray in northern Ethiopia, where renewed tensions in recent months have raised fears of fresh conflict.
An accredited AFP reporter based in Addis Abeba was blocked from boarding a flight to Shire in Tigray because he did not have authorization from the Ethiopian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Dopo il quotidiano inglese #FinancialTimes oggi ne parla anche l'agenzia francese #AFP: "Le truppe turche per il salvataggio delle persone possono essere impiegate a #Gaza per trovare i corpi degli ostaggi israeliani sotto le macerie".
#Drone strike at #Sudan's border with #Ethiopia kills one: authorities
A drone attack blamed on paramilitary forces killed one person Thursday in the Sudanese town of Kurmuk, on the border with Ethiopia, authorities said.
"One person was killed, eight injured and 16 houses destroyed," a government source told #AFP by phone from #Kurmuk, a border town controlled by the army in Sudan's Blue Nile state.
In a statement, Kurmuk governor Abdelaty Mohamed al-Fiky blamed the strike on the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (#RSF), at war with the army since April 2023, and their allies, a faction of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-N orth (SPLM-N). Blue Nile state is the latest front in nearly three years of devastating war, now being fought mainly with deadly drone strikes. The fighting has left tens of thousands dead and around 11 million displaced, creating the world's largest hunger and displacement crises.

News: AI-generated war narratives fuel #Ethiopia–Eritrea tensions online: report
Artificial intelligence (#AI) generated images and videos portraying a hypothetical #Ethiopian military takeover of #Eritrea’s strategic port of #Assab are increasingly shaping online narratives and inflaming tensions between the two countries, according to a report by #AFP.
One of the most prominent creators, 24-year-old Ethiopian law graduate Eliyas Kebede Zemedkun, who has more than 87,000 Facebook followers, told AFP he has spent much of 2026 producing AI-generated content depicting Ethiopia occupying Assab to promote what he described as “Ethiopia’s national narrative.” “I am also motivated to use AI-generated content to challenge narratives that try to downgrade the national army through different demoralizing tactics,” he said, adding that he uses free platforms such as #ChatGPT and #Gemini alongside editing software to create the material.
