As someone who reads science fiction and occasionally updates my blog built with a static site generator... the #Hugo hashtag is a bit confusing these days. Maybe #HugoAwards and #GoHugo are less ambiguous?
If I had to name one thing I really dislike about #Hugo static website generator is that almost every theme has its own specific configuration, syntax and set of specific things.
Even for very standard things like copyright in the footer or social network links (I understand custom icons and where to render, not specific config), they need specific config 😕
This, added to the fact I really suck at frontend, is making my migration a real pain.
Bastel gerade ein wenig mit #Hugo und dem #Blowfish Theme rum und ich glaube, ich werde meinen Blog dorthin umziehen.
Das von mir unter #Jekyll eingesetzte #Hydejack Theme bekommt nämlich schon lange keine Updates mehr. Ärgere mich damals dafür Geld investiert zu haben.
Wenn ich den Umzug mache, bekommt der Blowfish Entwickler dann eine Spende.
Hat irgendjemand von Euch eine Website mit Hugo, Jekyll oder einem anderen SSG mit einem Kontaktformular, das Daten nicht an Drittanbieter ausleitet? Wie habt Ihr das gebaut? Und wie sichert ihr es ohne Google Captcha gegen Spam? #Hugo#ssg#html#webdevelopment
Part 3 of "A Guide to Implementing ActivityPub in a Static Site (or Any Website)" is just out the oven!
In this blog post, I explain how to make your blog discoverable in the Fediverse as an account, and also address some of the annoying pitfalls I encountered.
Hrm. Another question for #Hugo (or #Jekyll really) users:
So you add a new News post. You go to upload. Uh. What files do you ACTUALLY upload?
In principle the answer is "well the new ones silly", but when your static site includes say, a Tag and a search system, how on earth do you know which changed and select only them?
Lately I just FTP up the whole folder, overwriting everything, and I feel like an idiot 😭 (or am I valid? maybe?)
I went to #Worldcon 80? #Chicon8 we called it. I'm still surprised that anyone thought it a good idea to host the #Hugo#Scifi & #Fantasy awards as well as all sorts of author talks in the country with the single largest censorship infrastructure in existence. All Chinese authors publish at the will of the government. Only government approved stories can be published or authors risk imprisonment and death. Why would ANYONE take any part in that, at all? Oh, big market...
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.
World Con was among the worst experiences in my life, where the formal writers event told me, literally "Stop writing dude" from two professionals. in the writing program I paid for for ritual humiliation, so to find out these vain glorious turds are now (like the WHO) owned lock stock and barrel by the CCP makes me feel vindicated.
Every 6 months or so I say to myself, "I'm going to document all my computer doings on a website," and I jump into #hugo . Very shakily get it to kind of work, get some posts going, give up, come back 6 months later and try to add a post and everything breaks.
I'm thinking I'm just gonna do HTML + CSS so I can... know what's going on?
Anyone else do this? Anyone know a good way to turn #orgmode files (or preferably) one giant orgmode file into posts on a website?
I know of #ox-hugo but this also turns into.... a bunch of figuring out (of things I'm not entirely interested in).
You run a #Perl script to generate an #SQLite database with an index of all the #HTML files, publish it, and then embed some #JavaScript which uses sql.js to query the contents of the database and display search results.
I like URLs that are descriptive but sharing them in posts take up a lot of valuable characters. I don't want to use a third party url shortner because of the chance for dead links. And even if I host it, it's decoupled from the content and adds another link in the chain that could break. Thanks to @kaushalmodi's ox-hugo, even obscure Hugo features are usable.
Wow. It looks like the Hugo awards are all sorts of pear-shaped this year. Babel wasn't even considered and the voting seems clearly jacked up across the board. I have suspicions about what happened, but I'm looking forward to someone smarter than me and with more information to explain things.
It appears that the answer to "Did the Chinese government pressure the Chengdu 2023 #Worldcon#Hugo-Award Committee into censoring the award ballot?" is "Yes. Yes they did."
