Added dark mode for the site

Got tired of blowing my eyeballs out during evening work.
How? I used prefers-color-scheme. It tries to respect existing light/dark mode settings. Here’s the CSS short version.
Code Sample
:root {
--text-color: hsl(0, 0%, 0%);
--content-background-color: hsla(0, 0%, 100%, 0.8);
}
@media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) {
:root {
--text-color: hsl(0, 0%, 100%);
--content-background-color: hsla(0, 0%, 0%, 0.8);
}
}
#page-content {
background-color: var(--content-background-color)
color: var(--text-color);
}

Down to two major tasks for the hugo -> nikola conversion (redirects and content images).
Sometime after that I’ll decide if I actually want to use it!

Sometimes it’s the only way to learn why. Production IPC is a hundred badgers wearing bow ties. Nobody tells you what the bow ties are for but you better not forget them!

Looking at Eleventy docs again, because I love its core concepts. But I promised myself to focus on Python, to get better at work.
Just saw how to implement the core Eleventy ideas in my own Python site generator.
oh no

Give
if you haven’t already. Nice to have a newsfeed option besides “firehose” and “somebody else’s algorithm.”

(“delete & re-draft” is one nifty Mastodon feature)
Kind of a long read on the history of CSS, so maybe skip it if you have work to do.
Oops.
Also, an exception to “don’t read the comments.”

I admit this was more charitable than the wish I was shaking the monkey paw for.
