Hi there. This little post is just a heads about an issue that I am
facing with the comment system that I run. Unfortunately, you will not
be able to post comments on the blog until, at least, next Wednesday
(November 21).

For those of you wondering which comment system I use, it is called
[Juvia](https://github.com/phusion/juvia). Due to privacy concerns, I
chose not to use anything like [Disqus](http://disqus.com/) because it
tracks you and your comments (read their privacy policy if you want more
details). On the other hand, Juvia runs on my private personal server,
and does not collect any kind of personal information when you make a
comment. The cons of this approach is that when my personal server is
down (like now), the blog doesn't have comments. But that's a minor
price to pay for the respect of privacy, I think.

Anyway, I hope to have the comments back online next week. Until there,
I plan to continue making posts here, so save your comments for some
time!

Thanks!
