Wow, there's a great report that's now live that reveals some authors have been excluded from Hugo Awards considerations in order to not piss off China. This kills any credibility the Hugos have now surely. https://file770.com/the-2023-hugo-awards-a-report-on-censorship-and-exclusion/

Bastel gerade ein wenig mit und dem Theme rum und ich glaube, ich werde meinen Blog dorthin umziehen.

Das von mir unter eingesetzte 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?

The past couple days I spent so many hours trying to get PyPodcats website to work (using Hugo).

The reason it took so long was because I thought the theme uses bootstrap, and I was googling about "how to do X in bootstrap", but nothing seemed to work.

Then I tried comparing my bootstrap version vs the one from the internet. And that's when I learned that we're using tailwind instead of bootstrap 😥

If you are looking for a theme for static site generator, have a look to "Smol" theme:

It covers guidelines:

Hallo Fedivers, bräuchte mal etwas Eure Meinungen und Empfehlungen, welche fürs aktuell zu empfehlen sind.
Habe aktuell Grav am Start, aber teilweise kommt es einem so vor, als ob vieles nicht mehr oder selten gepflegt wird.
Haut mal raus was ihr so meint.

@rootsnase @ohobby hätte ich jetzt auch gesagt. In Kombination mit git kannst du über die Hooks sogar direkt das Generieren und Veröffentlichen automatisieren.

Hrm. Another question for (or 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 80? we called it. I'm still surprised that anyone thought it a good idea to host the & 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...

My blog is running with , and I have a script which runs as pre-commit and checks all files.

Things like:

  • certain keywords are cursive
  • certain tags exist, based on content
  • invalid links
  • http links
  • code blocks are marked
  • preview image exists
  • preview text exists
  • ... some more

Is this something other people are interested in? Then I make the script configurable, and more formal.

The best solution for the Hugo/World Con fiasco is simple.

Change the constitution so that starting with Chengu, any nation that censors for "compliance with local laws" gets on a list that must be presented for FIFTY YEARS of "Before you vote for this finalist know that this nation has engaged in previous censorship of the awards."

Let China wear the cone of shame for two and a half generations

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 . 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 files (or preferably) one giant orgmode file into posts on a website?

I know of -hugo but this also turns into.... a bunch of figuring out (of things I'm not entirely interested in).

Curious what the rest of you do.

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.

World Con is TRASH.

In 2010, Neil Gaiman's children's books weren't sold in China because they showed "disrespect for authority."

There's no proof yet these were connected, but we can speculate.

I made something quite cool (IMHO) over the weekend: a 100% client-side search engine for static websites:

https://github.com/gbxyz/webidx

You run a script to generate an database with an index of all the files, publish it, and then embed some which uses sql.js to query the contents of the database and display search results.

Perfect if you use , , etc

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.

So I decided to add short URL of the site, by the site, for the site: https://shom.dev/s/1ba87346

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.

    '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 () 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 🥰

    It appears that the answer to "Did the Chinese government pressure the Chengdu 2023 -Award Committee into censoring the award ballot?" is "Yes. Yes they did."
