Open Questions:
- Do I need a Comment Provider (like disqus)?
- Do I need to migrate also the (pretty old) DE content?

My blog has finally moved from WordPress to Hugo.io static page. All EN posts from 2019+ have been migrated, older EN Posts will follow. As this is my first public release of the new site, I look forward to your Feedback.
