Blog Posts

Big Posts

The stuff that mattered enough to be a real post, quick updates are at the bottom

Quick Updates

→ Migrating to Zola

Migrating all my HTML to Markdown by hand

Rest in peace semantic HTML, long live the readable input!

→ Overall Reworkery

Forget everything I’ve written so far. Or don’t, actually.

I’m going through the markup, actually using aside properly, and seeing if I can make the CSS hierarchical.

→ Big Backend Move

It’s technically dockerized now

…part of the reason why that last post took forever, I had to fix my site buildscripts to make them…you know, work again…

Although that was quite some time ago — I just only got around to it yesterday :)

→ One File per Blog Post!

…does not mean I’ll regularly add new ones

Blog posts are now powered by a shellscript to append them into one big file — permalink anchors are inserted at this step too — and a server-side include.

→ Principles thrown out

SkyNet is now accounted for

So I now have a robots.txt file. Pretty much just stops robots from crawling my stylesheet.

→ humans.txt

That parser is more lenient

Added a humans.txt — The robots.txt file is much harder to write, so this will be one of the few sites with a humans.txt and no robots.txt

→ Cleaning up

a bit of news, unrelated to the pope

Turns out you are NOT supposed to use one section per article, so I’ll wrap it all in a class’d section and use articles

My Page is having an indentity crisis

After breaking everything repeatedly — in part because listen 443; doesn’t listen on IPv6 — I now finally have a permanent domain at a sane price — And I am putting those subdomains to use!

→ Well, this is awkward

Turns out you can’t use sed to edit in place 

# IF YOU ARE READING MY BLOG, I HOPE YOU EITHER DON'T KNOW HOW TO RUN SHELL OR
# ARE SMART ENOUGH NOT TO RUN THIS.
me@machine ~ $ find /data/www/ -name "*.html*" -type f | \
    while read i; do
        sed 's/<html>/<html lang="en">/gi' "$i" > "$i";
    done

I deleted every HTML document that wasn’t a component by accident.

I did not set up backups yet, but at least it was only content, the part that is less painful to do than styles and images, because you can just come up with new things to say.

I should’ve probably used version control — found that out the hard way.
