I'm making good progress on my website! I'm using Hugo with Kayal right now. May try to have a crack at making my own Hugo theme in the future.
Now I wanna know, what's the best place to host a static site made with Hugo? I've looked at GitHub Pages, Neocities and Nekoweb. Maybe a DigitalOcean VPS if I ever want to mess with other things beyond static sites but not at the moment.
It needs to at least be accessible via my domain.
Ich feier #hugo immer wieder, allein wie toll man mehrsprachigkeit einbauen kann: https://codeberg.org/RollenspielMonster/website/commit/29f62496e8e996a33d1126a576f2508a26cf531f
Ich überarbeite gerade ein wenig die Webseite von #RollenspielMonster aber weiß grad nicht so ganz wie ich das übersichtlich darstellen soll. Hat jemand Ideen wie man das schön darstellen kann?
I recently published a blog post about how to
1/ set up a website with the @gohugoio framework (connected to GitHub)
2/ add the #ananke theme as module
3/ run on AWS amplify
You can find it here:

I would say it is in „it works“ stage. Not good, but seems to run.
I was facing issues with some #gohugo updates and this theme myself. I hope, this is helpful.

ERROR deprecated: data.GetJSON was deprecated in Hugo v0.123.0 and will be removed in Hugo 0.140.0. use resources.Get or resources.GetRemote with transform.Unmarshal
在衆多 static website generator 當中，Hugo 算是運行速度很快的。不過它也有個問題，如果網站有許多圖片，那麼每次 build 的時間就會比較長，圖片越多，時間越久。
@magnus919 or you can use Mastodon API to retrieve your toots and save them as markdown files in the #GoHugo content folder. See: https://deuts.org/x/all/
Oh something else in #ObsidianMD that I did for #GoHugo convenience that I kinda regret: the public portion of my vault is structured as a set of leaf bundles. Which is great for keeping images and other resources close to the site content. But it's absolutely lousy for back linking and referencing other Obsidian notes (everything shows up as index in Obsidian instead of the name of the folder the leaf bundle lives in).
There's not a ton of content on my site yet, so I might really start hacking things up to eliminate the leaf bundles. I'll try to preserve the site structure through use of explicit slugs for existing content. But no promises.

OCOR version 0.2.0 released at https://gitlab.com/bit-man/our-content-our-rules/-/releases/v0.2.0 !!
A user tool to migrate your posts from different social networks to your own hosted site
In this new release:
- zip provided by medium.com can be used for post creation. No need to unzip it, just feed #OCOR with zip file
- ignore posts, in case you use a new #OCOR version fixing some bugs and don't want to rewrite some posts
If you are wondering what OCOR is and how it was designed, take a look at https://www.bit-man.guru/posts/our-content-our-rules. Currently, supporting Twitter and medium.com (from requested data, zip file) and converts them to Hugo posts #gohugo
Remember to audit your backups!
When I migrated my old Arch servers to Debian with ZFS last year I also changed the entire data layout on the arrays. I broke things out into smaller sized chunks to make ad hoc backups run swifter, modularize things so I stood a change of remembering what was what just by doing a directory listing, that kind of thing.
All week I've been working on finally getting a web site going for the root of this domain. Basically composed of trying out a bunch of hugo themes, loading some markdown files from another live site into the content directory to see how it renders, yadda, yadda.
In the process of doing this, at some point I must have fat fingered something and deleted/moved the source files for the active site. I only discovered this when trying to copy the posts from the active site to a new one I was testing with a new theme.
rsync -av ~oldsite/site/content/posts ~newsite/site/content/.
"... No such file or directory ..."
Wat...?
Ok, whatever, start looking at the incremental backups... hmm, not there... not there... not there... wat? List the backup crontabs again... no reference. Other host with backups that don't match this pattern... not there... WTAF?!
The location where I have my web dev stuff located is not backed up at all!
In the root of the array where this is located there are 4 other directories that are backed up but for some reason this one is not. Either I had a blind spot on it or I forgot or I didn't set it up because there were no web projects when the server was set up or...
I got lucky - had made a bunch of copies while experimenting during the week and was able to find "out of band" copies of the files. But, if during testing I had blown away all my testing data without knowing there were no backups I would have not been happy!
Anyway...
Audit your backups!
Test restoring from your backups!
I was quite proud of myself last night. I updated one of my blogs and did a bunch of background changes so that all the fonts and JavaScript and such are local. Changed some style and layout stuff that had been bugging me. Upgraded Hugo to the lastest version and fixed all the customizations of the theme I am using that broke as a result. I hadn't touched it since August. Great stuff, felt good to get back at it.
Today I noticed that the RSS feed has the wrong baseURL in it - the dev server TLD is stuck in all the XML files in the public directory. Spent something like 6 hours trying to fix it tonight with no success. Geez. Two AM... Time to step away.
Web development with Hugo or just plain HTML and CSS is such a happy place for me. It is fulfilling to craft cool and fun things that are portable, fast, pretty and functional 
Oh cool! Zed editor doesn't display front matter when previewing markdown! Awesomesauce!
