Things are stable enough on the Dendron + Hugo workflow for my public brain that I’ve incorporated the aliases for historical redirects (cool URLs never change, though the thing they point at might) and adding (what will be) new site pages.

Plan is to publish after payday, going back to a paid host plan. Also it gives me time to fiddle with RSS.

Saw an ant struggling to carry a flower petal that was clearly a two-ant job.

I know y’all are strong, but even ants have limits. Get a buddy.

I refuse to see how any of this might apply to my own life.

Using a grid as my default background for Kinopio makes it easy to cluster the random links I’m dropping to process later.

@platypus I have not yet been able to find a citation or news piece, but I recall Washington State having issues with police warrants reactivating after September 9th (9999). It wasn’t as big an issue as it could’ve been, because they were already working on it, but a few were missed.

Already bookmarked these for my own nefarious purposes later, but here’s a couple frameworks for similarly minded “no framework” #CSS folks.

It’s not the technical jargon that’s gonna trip people up. They see “O notation” or “microservice architecture” and they know some weird dev kink is going on.

No what’ll catch them is how we — okay some of us — okay, I — appropriate perfectly normal words for our own ends.

Like how “boring” becomes an aspirational goal, and “clever” is a scathing insult.

The trick was to tweak the Distant Horizons settings a little for my setup (NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti, BSL shader) so I wasn’t spinning 100% GPU and CPU.

Forgot to take an “after” screenshot in my pre-work session, but here’s “before” with LOD render distance too high. Real obvious dropoff in render quality, and my PC sounded even more like a jet engine than it usually does in ATM9.

Where is my phone.

There we go. Logged in and all set to start the work day.

Good morning! Today’s #HelpfulHint

@WuMargaret thanks! I think it’s largely that we all go for consistent styles that emphasize the content, and avoid the gray-on-gray ant text consistently popular among “document-oriented” designs made by and for younger eyes I’m pretty sure

Okay took a tiny bit of fiddling, but I got the working files back in working state, and got my tests passing again.

oh look at the time

Sharing so it’s easier for me to remember: #justfile recipes can take splat arguments.

Means I can do

and that’ll expand to

writing a test to ensure that no unlinked files go into my site build (kinda important when you have private notes mixed in with the public brain) and couldn’t figure out why it keeps failing on this file and uh oh right because that file’s not linked by any of my pages

Continuously distressed by how many development practices with brand names and pretty logos are just Common Senseâ„¢.

Yesterday’s example: GitOps. It’s largely keeping your Infrastructure as Code in a Git repo, requiring an approved pull request before deploying, and not letting people bypass that by fiddling with production.
