A minor #Ruby version upgrade in #FreeBSD broke my #Jekyll static site generator. Again.

My flow consists of a #Git hook triggering Jekyll, after which the generated site is rsync’d to the web server.

Question now is whether to keep it fast and simple, and migrate my #Forgejo instance to some flavor of #Linux or to complicate things and set up a Linux based Forgejo runner on a separate VM…

You can run Jekyll 20 times faster from a single binary. Just a friendly reminder. It’s a nice alternative if you’re a #Jekyll person considering #Hugo for speed.

New blogpost... Another one?

Yes! it's a pretty quick one about a simple tool I found to generate collages, and using them as banners for my #blogposts!

This is day 76 of #100DaysToOffload

There's a weird bashing of "you have to write your own website theme" and it's pretty toxic.

I'm happy for you if you host your own blog using a Jekyll or Hugo theme, or heck the default WordPress one.

Because it means you're POSSE & doing indieweb. None of this gatekeeper CSS nonsense.

In our continuing journey to learn to build websites using GitHub Pages, in this installment, @bart teaches us how to create our own theme with Jekyll layouts. Terminology of Jekyll is still tricky, but with some worked examples and a challenge this time, maybe it will start to cement in our brains!

You can find Bart’s fabulous tutorial shownotes and the audio podcast at https://pbs.bartificer.net/pbs180

Przy okazji dłubania przy najnowszej zajawce, udało mi się w końcu doprowadzić do działania paginację strony głównej na Jekyllu.

W życiu bym sam nie wpadł na to, że wystarczy zmienić nazwę pliku `index.md` na `index.html`, żeby plugin od paginacji zaczął działać

hello!

if you use a static site generator for your blog, like #Eleventy or #jekyll, AND

if your blog has a links section,

could you share how you’ve structured your link posts? i’m adding bookmarks to my website, and i think i could use a little inspiration

Hey guys, I'm looking for a journaling like theme for #hugossg #hugo #jekyll or #zolassg or in the last case #PelicanSSG

Ze spraw około-blogowych, poświęciłem trochę czasu na ulepszenie strony głównej bloga. W końcu są tam jakieś obrazki.

Pamiętajcie, że pod każdą zajawką na blogu znajdują się dodatkowe rekomendacje literatury w temacie. To jest ta jedna rzecz, która ma być unikalna dla strony głównej bloga, niedostępna na social mediach.

Dzięki za zaglądanie tu i na xiegozbior.pl! Zawsze mnie cieszy, że coś co publikuję, może się komuś przydać!

I kinda feel like going back to a side bar, thoughts?

In this installment on PBS about the static site generator Jekyll to create free websites on GitHub, @bart digs into the build process, and how the location, naming, and content of files automatically turn into web pages.

I justed posted this question on StackOverflow, about using YAML frontmatter variables to reference page-specific data files on a #Jekyll site using #Liquid.

Suggestions/boosts appreciated!

@bart and I take our first baby steps at creating a simple site using Jekyll and GitHub Pages in this week’s PBS. We got to install Ruby, learn about Gems and Bundler, learn about Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets (Sass), install Bootstrap locally and more.

New blog post: This post has been generated with Eleventy

Migrating from #Jekyll to #11ty @eleventy, and my impressions after using both static web generators. https://lamaquinadeturing.su/en/2025/02/this-post-has-been-generated-with-eleventy/

Hey, anyone looking for a #website, either #personal or to house an #academic project? @RyanChartier builds and maintains #MinimalComputing sites that run on #Jekyll - they are #secure, #EnergyEfficient, and don't rely on #plugins owned by other corporations. Check out his site at https://blog.ryan-chartier.net/ - he built my website and then handed me the reins and I'm very happy to have full control over my official page.

What are people’s preferred static site generators these days? I used to use Jekyll until an update broke my site. Now I’m using Hugo but I had to downgrade to an old version yesterday because the updates had broken my site. Do I re-configure my Hugo site or is there something better? #StaticSiteGenerator #Jekyll #Hugo

Okay, so I've set up a simple blog with #Jekyll. Do you have any suggestions on how to get some statistics on views without going full-blast Google Analytics?
