I am contemplating a domain, or rather subdomain change, and new post paths for my #blog.
Going from:
blog.cavelab.dev/2026/01/rpi-alarm-keypads/
To:
www.cavelab.dev/posts/rpi-alarm-keypads/
Why?
- blog as a subdomain feels limiting, it's not only blog posts
- get rid of the date in the URL
- URLs to be properly structured, blog posts live under /posts, YYYY/MM is not the true structure
Why keep www? I like the esthetics of APEX domain, but I like the DNS flexibility of a subdomain more.

Done and done, the site is migrated, redirects are in place 🤩 https://www.cavelab.dev

@thomasjsn That new URL scheme (without post dates) makes more sense for many reasons, since posts might get updated in case there have been errors. While some old school bloggers are heavily against fixing errors from old blog posts, mainstream writers understand that it is sometimes needed.
