Semi-successfully migrated a Hugo site from GitHub Pages to GitLab Pages - I'm pretty sure I don't agree with the AI approach Microsoft is taking with Copilot seemingly ripping code and not respecting GPL licences.

I say semi, because the same Hugo site has the domain name repeated twice in the URL, but only for certain pages ... 🤔 ... not on GitHub, but only on GitLab ... 🤷‍♂️. Same code, different relative URLs ...🤷‍♂️ 🤔

Ahh ... all sorted now! That makes me happy!

@lolbat Yes, I am. That seems to be the way. It's rather neat. On GitHub, I was building on my computer, and then simply pushing public upstream. With GitLab, I'm letting it do the building. My issue was having the baseurl as profileName.gitlab.io/projectName rather than a simple website.com domain. I wanted it to have the base as projectName, but I didn't have the projectName domain.

Song representing my TGIF mood, even though work continues through the weekend:

I Just Want To Love You - Eikka

Electronic beeps and cycles, nice beats, bit housy, hints of the Orient.

Give me lasers and a smoke machine now!

Came across this spring yesterday with remarkable cooling properties. The Fuente de Corcuela at Moclin. I suspect originally built by it's wonderfully creative Arabic originators. It might have been 30c+ in the sun but on entering this area we were met by lovely cool air, generated partly by the shade but also by the water circulating through and away to lower regions. A wonderful spot and worth a visit if you are visiting the Granada area.

@elperronegro Lovely it is! 😃

Yesterday we hiked the Ruta Gollizno at Moclin. A beautiful descent into a dramatic gorge with rope bridges and a heavily vegetated (cool!) river valley, followed by a tough ascent in the afternoon heat back up to the town. The cold beers afterwards were most welcome!

A narrow bridge spans a gorge with overhanging rock walls to the right and a green forest further to the left
A steep sided rocky valley is to the left. Coming down from the right is a narrow hiking path with some hikers
A narrow path with 2 hikers on it drops into a wooded steep sided gorge

@elperronegro 😃 We did this with the kids the exact same way a couple of years ago, beers included 🍻, and we then wondered whether it was better to do it in the other direction, that is, with the final ascent up through the gorge ... 🤔

AdamBishop,
@AdamBishop@floss.social avatar

@elperronegro It seems so natural to take on the gorge first, that way you get to see the exciting bit almost immediately, but, heading back at the bottom, you are facing the wrong way with your back to actually quite a nice view over to Granada, and under the sun. But heading down valley first doesn't give you a great idea of what is to come when you finally head upwards 🤷‍♂️. Next time we'll try it for sure, but we already know what is coming 😅 .

Alas, I've no "real" internet until Saturday (subsisting on incredibly intermittent 3G/4G) so no semis for me :(

Today has been a long day. Been threatened at home by a man trying to break down a door and saying bad things will happen to me. Had to help prepare the school fête for tomorrow. Really didn't get much work done, though I started at 6am. And had a lot of hassle trying to transfer a site from GitHub to GitLab Pages. Still don't understand why the same code in both systems gives permalinks that work in GitHub but not in GitLab ... And I can't sleep 🤷‍♂️

@pabloniusmonk Thanks mate. Change of seasons affects us too (as well as full moons!), and summer has come far too early this year in Andalucia. On a positive note, there's a big party at our kids' school today, for the Día de la Cruz, one of the most heartfelt festivities in Granada. And everyone will be dressed up in Flamenco gear! 💃 Hope you get some good rest too. Certainly I'll be having a siesta tomorrow.

@pabloniusmonk ¡Gracias Pablo! We had a great day, great but exhausting! And yesterday was a day of putting out fires, figuratively speaking, at work and in our building comunidad 😳 TGIF for sure! Certainly you don't have enough holidays over in the States!

Early this summer, I'll be visiting for the first time! 🇮🇹 🥰 ( just to catch the hashtag in case it's more popular)

I'd love to read your recommendations, memories, impressions, and advice. Bonus points if you've lived or currently live there. Thanks so much to everyone who responds! ❤️

@ivana The pizza's divine - most fully appreciated when it's just a Margherita. I have a soft spot for Babà al Rum, though everyone prefers the Sfogliatella. Get lost but not too much in the Quartieri Spagnoli. Enjoy the coffee, strong and black like nowhere else, and pay it forwards. Do the Naples underground tour, you won't regret it.

AdamBishop,
@AdamBishop@floss.social avatar

@ivana I guess it depends where in Spain. In Catalunya, Valencia, Asturias, Basque Country, Galicia, etc., some people get annoyed that foreigners try so hard to speak to them in Castilian, rather than their own local language, for example, Catalan. "Why speak another 'foreign' language badly between us, when we could both better speak English together?" "If you are going to learn a language, it might as well be the local one." So, they'd sometimes really prefer you to speak English.

AdamBishop,
@AdamBishop@floss.social avatar

@ivana They're right of course. Though it is difficult for foreigners. It's like expecting to speak Spanish in Portugal. Or English in Wales. You can, but people would appreciate it if you tried a little harder. In Castilian Madrid or Andalucia, it's clearly different. Andalú is just a dialect, but Catalan is a very different language from Castilian. In Italy, apart from a few very small areas, everyone speaks Italian. A different accent, a different dialect, but essentially the same language.

Time for , a little walk, a bench overlooking the Alhambra, a glass of wine, or two, some tapas, and a hurry home!

@pabloniusmonk Before rushing home, we finished in a favourite bar of ours where they serve a wonderful sweet orange wine 🍊🍷

AdamBishop,
@AdamBishop@floss.social avatar

@pabloniusmonk Ah, wow, nice. We live just around the corner. I haven't seen that episode! If you were a student here, I don't suppose you have seen the film Granada Nights? (it's a bit like a Granada-version Auberge Espagnole).
