A low-cost, paid subscription would be a way to pay for hosting in a country of your choosing plus have some cash for you, too. But you may be stuck with WordPress as a platform if you go that route – if you want to publish a blog.
But if you want to do an email newsletter, you might look into Tuta mail plus a payment link for subscriptions.
It's doable for sure, but I don't know that there's a single perfect (as in, one platform doing it all) solution.
(Ghost has a decent reputation. They're in Singapore, but they don't have a free starter plan.)
That's actually cool. Tuta is a name I've come across a couple of times recently, and with the third recommendation rolling in, I think I'm going to look at them for my email going forward anyway.
Thanks for the ideas! 😀

in reply to Pete Prodoehl 🍕 • • •this I would do in python. Chat gpt would get you 95-100% if you know python already. I personal would use chatgpt.
It may exist already. But configuring a tool that can do this is going to be just as hard as writing it in a general purpose language such as python or bash. So why use a new tool?
Pete Prodoehl 🍕
in reply to poleguy looking for lost tools • • •@poleguy I will not use ChatGPT and do all I can to avoid using AI tools.
I would rather struggle (and learn) for days digging into how to best do it and walk away knowing exactly what the code is doing because I created it.

in reply to Pete Prodoehl 🍕 • • •Notice, I didn't say _you_ should use ChatGPT. I already know how to do it in python with no chat gpt.
I'm still happy to help. I don't think you're asking for direct help though, or you would have asked for it, right?
But I'm also happy to share what I know and my experience.
Parsing the date in a filename or inside a file is no easier/harder, so long as the format is consistent. I'd use the internal date/time not because it is easier, but because it won't break when renamed.

in reply to poleguy looking for lost tools • • •@poleguy Ah, I read "Chat gpt would get you 95-100%" as you suggesting that I use ChatGPT...
I'll write up some code in Python to do the job. Shouldn't be too difficult.

in reply to Pete Prodoehl 🍕 • • •Oh, weird... I thought I had saw you post something about just starting with python.
You might have been using it longer than I have. Ha!
I felt I got into it pretty late... but I don't recall how long ago I actually started... maybe 2015?
Pete Prodoehl 🍕
in reply to poleguy looking for lost tools • • •@poleguy Dive into Python came out about 20 years ago, and that's probably when I first started to dabble, but didn't get too far. I ran Python code & applications other people wrote, but barely wrote my own.
I think 2019 was my first "time to sit down and really learn Python!" experience. I had been using it (lightly) at work for a few years at that point, but not too deeply.
As often is the case, there's a blog post:

in reply to Pete Prodoehl 🍕 • • •Just read your post.
It's funny that I never ran into the problem of something like "import random" pulling in ./random.py instead of the library I wanted.
It does seem really like a brain-dead design choice...
and the fact that your editor caught this indicates how bad the problem is.
python's handling of relative paths and imports and scripting is an abomination.
When I just tried it on the command line it happily imported itself recursively with the hi-jinks you'd expect.

in reply to Pete Prodoehl 🍕 • • •I just searched in my exo-brain (my personal notes database) and see evidence that I may not have made my change using python after-all.
Also, I was going the other way: I was taking the date of the file and writing it in to the meta-data.
I can't find my actual script, but saw this in my notes:

in reply to poleguy looking for lost tools • • •Pete Prodoehl 🍕
in reply to poleguy looking for lost tools • • •@poleguy In thinking a bit about it (instead of running to ChatGPT to solve my problems) I realized each file contains the date/time like this:
<time>2025-09-24T19:46:52Z</time>
So parsing that should be much easier than parsing weird filenames like:
