@threadi was statischen Seiten angeht, nutze ich mittlerweile #Zola, da es sehr zügig voran geht weil es in #Rust entwickelt wurde. Entsprechend noch in der Git Abwicklung automatisiert läuft es fliessend lokal und ist so gleich online ohne Rechner- und Datenhunger ;)
Today in Labor History April 2, 1840: Émile Zola, French novelist, playwright, journalist was born. He was also a liberal activist, playing a significant role in the political liberalization of France, and in the exoneration of Alfred Dreyfus, the Jewish army officer falsely convicted and imprisoned on trumped up, antisemitic charges of espionage. He was also a significant influence on mid-20th century journalist-authors, like Thom Wolfe, Truman Capote, Hunter S. Thompson, Norman Mailer and Joan Didion. Wolfe said that his goal in writing fiction was to document contemporary society in the tradition of Steinbeck, Dickens, and Zola.
Zola wrote dozens of novels, but his most famous, Germinal, about a violently repressed coalminers’ strike, is one of the greatest books ever written about working class rebellion. It had a huge influence on future radicals, especially anarchists. Some anarchists named their children Germinal. Rudolf Rocker had a Yiddish-language anarchist journal in London called Germinal, in the 1910s. There were also anarchist papers called Germinal in Mexico and Brazil in the 1910s.
Gibt es eigentlich einen zugänglichen »Websitebuilder« zum selbst hosten? Ein Web-Klicki-Bunti, dass ich bei mir als VM aufsetzen kann? Für Leute, die Lust auf ne eigene Webseite (am besten als Endprodukt statisch!) haben, aber kein besonderes Interesse an technischen Details? So als Themeauswahl wäre #HTML5UP mehr als ausreichend.
One of these days I'm going to replace my semi-defunc-abandoned #GitHub Jekyll blog with a self-hosted #Hugo / #MkDocs / #Zola or similar static site generator.
I've written a #blog post on how to integrate #Fediverse /#Mastodon#comments with a #Zola#website. It's taken me some time to get everything working in terms of style and semantics but in the end it really wasn't that hard at all. Happy to present to you my #howto post:
The motivation is to run it locally to provide a way for static site generators like #Zola to run an external command 💡
For example, if you want to run an external command that converts a LaTeX math expression to static HTML, now you can without forking the static site generator 😉
OK, now I have found a solution (look toots above) using #Rust thanks the tip from @beowulf. Although I briefly shut down #100DaysOfRust, this motivates me to continue learning #RustLang practically. I will something similar to #code but look at @rust for inspiration 🙌
«#Zola: Your one-stop static #site engine – Forget dependencies. Everything you need in one binary.»
#Hugo's slogan of being "The world’s fastest framework for building websites" is a shameless lie.
It has been raised up 3 times on Github with benchmarks showing that other full-featured static site generators like #Zola (#Rust) are faster, sometimes by 10x. Each time, the issue is closed and locked.
I migrated a couple of websites from Hugo to Zola and won't look back.
Feel free to ping me if you need any help with Zola 🥰
My website is now self-hosted on an Raspberry Pi 4 in my living room! 🤯️ And it seems to still be pretty fast! It's running Rocky Linux and Nginx. Next step: auto deploy the website via Git hooks when I push a new version.
I tried building the Rust-based SSG Zola https://www.getzola.org/ on my Raspberry Pi (so I can automatically build and deploy my blog by just pushing to its repo), but even with a single job Cargo very quickly eats all the RAM and swap and ends up being killed, making the web server unusable in the mean time. Is there some way I can limit the RAM usage of Cargo?
Today in Labor History January 13, 1898: Émile Zola's J'accuse…! exposed the Dreyfus affair. The scandal began in 1894 when the state convicted Captain Alfred Dreyfus of treason. He was a 35-year-old French artillery officer of Jewish descent, falsely convicted for espionage and imprisoned in Devil’s Island in French Guiana. Émile Zola’s open letter “J’Accuse” helped build a movement of support for Dreyfus, putting pressure on the government to reopen the case. In 1899, Dreyfus was returned to France, retried and convicted again, but was pardoned and released.
Emile Zola was French novelist, journalist, playwright. He was an important part of the literary school of naturalism. He was nominated for the first and second Nobel Prizes in Literature in 1901 and 1902. He published over 30 works, the most well-known being “Germinal,” about a coal miners’ strike in northern France in the 1860s. He influenced many modern writers like Tom Wolfe, Joan Didion, Norman Mailer, and Truman Capote. “Germinal” influenced my novel, “Anywhere But Schuylkill.”
Today in Labor History December 19, 1900: French parliament gave to amnesty everyone who participated in the scandalous army treason trial known as the Dreyfus affair. The scandal began in 1894 when the state convicted Captain Alfred Dreyfus of treason. He was a 35-year-old French artillery officer of Jewish descent, falsely convicted for espionage and imprisoned in Devil's Island in French Guiana. Émile Zola's open letter “J'Accuse” helped build a movement of support for Dreyfus, putting pressure on the government to reopen the case. In 1899, Dreyfus was returned to France, retried and convicted again, but was pardoned and released. They eventually reinstated him as a major and he served during the World War I. Roman Polanski made a film about the affair called “J’Accuse,” after the Zola letter. However, much of Europe and the U.S. banned screenings of the film due to Polanski’s U.S. rape conviction.
I wrote about a quick and dirty set up for generating a static site weblog with the Zola static site generator written in Rust on my static site weblog generated with Zola. Is that meta or .. ? https://josh.is-cool.dev/a-static-site-with-zola/
Avec #Zola j'aurais un flux #rss sans effort. Et ce serait un énorme bonus d'être compatible activitypub et mobilizon pour les partage dans le fediverse.
Today in Labor History June 16, 1869: In the small mining town of Ricamarie, France, troops opened fire on miners who were protesting the arrest of 40 workers. As a result, troops killed 14 people, including a 17-month-old girl in her mother’s arms. Furthermore, they wounded 60 others, including 10 children. This strike, and another in Aubin, along with the Paris Commune, were major inspirations for Emile Zola’s seminal work, “Germinal,” and the reason he chose to focus on revolutionary worker actions.
