Hope to see you soon!

#Eleventy
How Eleventy Survived: Funding, Growth, and Open Source Reality, by @zachleat and @matthewejohnson.bsky.social (@fontawesome):
I've been using Eleventy to build this blog for getting close to two years. It works great. I have some idiosyncracies in how I transfer the blog that is more complex than just an SCP so I created a yarn task for it. The template I use already used yarn so I just continued with that. I created a task called "yarn transfer" that does an scp to move the newly rebuilt blog but also preserve some files outside that process that would otherwise get blown away every time. All good.
The one thing that bedeviled me was the Github Actions. Ideally I would be able to build the site from Github actions on every commit and also set this up on a schedule. It's how I have done other static site generated blogs and it works great. However getting the SSH keys set up always failed for me. I tried a number of things and they all failed. Today I felt like giving it another shot.
This time I tried using the Install SSH Key action prior to the yarn transfer. Getting that key set up never worked right, even though I have my private key in secrets and everything seemed like it should. I set it up and I'll be damned if it didn't work the first try.
Once that worked, I did one more commit to set up a daily schedule. This will allow me to schedule posts ahead of time, namely my podcast episodes, and have Github build them and make them live without my realtime interaction.
This post is being written exactly that way. If you see it as the top post on this site, then the scheduled build worked!

@ultranurd I'm getting close to my 2nd anniversary of switching from Wordpress to #Eleventy. I have regretted it for 0 seconds. When Mullenweig says or does something awful, some shit decision is made about the project, I just smile to myself.
I left because I was tired of cleaning up after endless malware infestations. I stayed away for the self-satisfied smugness.
New by me: What my blogging workflow looks like.

@fed.brid.gy Is this something I am doing or something the bridging is doing? I did a nice refactor in #eleventy to make all my hashtags single words from the spaces I used to have. It looks like I expect but the hashtag that the Fediverse clients receive is all of them concatenated into one giant tag and lower cased.
Should I file an issue in GitHub for this?
New from me: January /now update is live. MSP + security work, Cloud Technologies school labs, site tweaks, Weekly Roundup is back, and I’m still writing The Cipher Fellows.

It's still a little janky but I finally managed to work out fetching read book data from my self-hosted instance of @bookwyrm and publishing it to #eleventy. Hooray!
Unfortunately it doesn't pass through read dates or reading goals to the JSON so I can't do anything fancier with it yet, but it's still pretty cool.
New temp pinned post:
I am looking for a job!
Info on my professional website.
NB. The website is my contracting/freelance site, but in the Netherlands, I would have a regular employment job.

Bhe je suis content, j’ai récupéré tous mes posts sur mon blog depuis le début des années 2000 et j’ai complètement changé de système, j’utilise désormais #indiekit pour le backend #Eleventy pour le frontend
ma “base de données” c’est des fichiers de textes, c’est plus sécurisé et j’ai contrôle total sur le code et l’aspect et expérience utilisateur, sans être coincé par les limites ou la manière de faire de WordPress ou Microblog ou Ghost (la liste est longue)
I blogged about @eleventy again.
This time, I wanted to create a sorted collection from a table-of-content markdown file, sorted by occurence.
This way, I've put prev and next links onto the page, so I'm able to navigate through it from first to last ☺️ #eleventy

Urgh! So I think a big reason my large #eleventy site has been failing is from using 'he' in the config file to decode html entities for things like apostrophes. For some reason the #wordpress JSON data has all that in there and it seemed a good way to fix it.
Taking it out has definitely brought the build time down (though still high), now I'm looking at eleventh transforms to do the change a different way. Fun!
Eleventy is super fun. Thanks, @jgarber, for the suggestion! In just a couple of hours this morning (while also switching over our wifi network and setting up a laptop for a friend), I've got all my posts imported, tags working, slugs for all the old underscore posts so I don't need redirects, and a bunch of cleanup done.
Another weekend and I might be able to actually switch this thing!! #weekendHacking #personalProjects #blogging #hashtagOverload #eleventy #openSource
il y a du ménage et du rangement à faire, vous ne rangez pas tous vos métadonnées en même temps hein, mais j'ai enfin mis à jour mon import d'abonnements à des flux web vers une sorte de blogroll.
