When using Cloudflare’s subdomain hogehoge.pages.dev, even without manually registering any articles, I end up hitting the Google Search Console limit.

Quota Exceeded Sorry–we couldn’t process this request because you’ve exceeded your daily quota. Please try submitting this again tomorrow.

After looking into possible causes, I found the following article:

• https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q13303664813

Search Console processes requests on a per-main-domain basis, so it’s possible that other users’ counts are being included. If you switch to a custom domain, it should resolve the issue.

Therefore, the only solution seems to be to get a custom domain (it looks like Hatena Blog was just exceptionally accommodating). However, since this blog has a diary-like aspect, it doesn’t feel worth spending money on it.

I’m not particularly looking to do SEO, but I still want to preserve the possibility of those chance encounters that happen via Google Search.

So, for the time being, I decided to try posting a technical article on dev.to.

• https://dev.to/lef237/writing-a-domain-model-in-ruby-without-using-class-5h06

I just copied and pasted the Markdown directly from this blog, but it displayed nicely. For technical articles, I think I might as well cross-post them here.
