Hugo, a static website engine written in Go: I might eventually switch WordPress to it

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/11/23

A long time ago, when just recovering from my december 2019 rectum cancer radiation treatments, I asked what Hugo was, to which tiara fan Jenn happily replied “[Archive] Jenn on Twitter: “It is a static website engine written in Go, … ““.

Like me, writing down or trying stuff is her way to remember things: [Archive] Jenn on Twitter: “For some reason, handwriting terminal commands helps to cement them in my head.… “

In 2021, Isotopp moved over to Hugo and I kindly asked if in the future he would help me out if I wanted to move from WordPress to Hugo.

The thread:

I will need to find a way to schedule posts though.

Note I archived Isotopp’s full thread at [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @isotopp on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App.

Wo ich arbeite scheint alles auf ein Markdown im Git und eine Variante von Hugo, Jekyll oder ähnlich zu konvergieren.

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/11/22

Yet another interesting post (I think it is via [Wayback/Archive] isotopp, but I cannot find the original message any more): [Wayback/Archive] Migration from Twitter to Mastodon | ads’ corner.

Kris helped me motivate to enter the Fediverse, so here I am: @wiert@mastodon.social

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/11/18

Given Elon Musk taking over Twitter, I decided to create an account in the federated social network Mastodon part of the Fediverse realm. In my case it is [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers (@wiert@mastodon.social) – Mastodon (which you can visit at mastodon.social/@wiert).

Right now the account is rudimentary. More meta-data and media will be added later.

Mastodon is open source at [Wayback/Archive] mastodon/mastodon: Your self-hosted, globally interconnected microblogging community and you can join via [Wayback/Archive] Mastodon – Decentralized social media (joinmastodon.org) after choosing a Mastodon server/website. I have chosen [Wayback/Archive] Home – Mastodon (mastodon.social).

Given a Mastodon has a trunk, messages on Mastodon are called “Toots”.

For now some of the Tweets and links that Kris ([Wayback/Archive] Kris (@isotopp@chaos.social) – chaos.social) posted helping me to start on Mastodon.

Exporting your Twitter content, converting to Markdown and getting the image alt-texts (thanks @isotopp/@HBeckPDX/@weiglemc for the info and @kcgreenn/@dreamjar for the comic!)

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/11/12

This is fine #Twitter

This is fine #Twitter (illustration inspired by KC Green; creation video below)

(Edit 20221114: script for high-res images; more tweets from Jan) (Edit 20221116: hat-tip to Sam) (Edit 20221120: archiving t.co links by Michele Weigle) (Edit 20221122: added article by Johan van der Knijff) (20221128 Tapue export tool by Mike Hucka)

Time to be prepared:

The below will help you exporting your Twitter content (Tweets, DMs, media), perform some conversions on them and optionally delete (parts of) your content.

Important: keep your Twitter account afterwards (to prevent someone from creating a new account with the same handle).

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/10/30

Edit 20221118-19: Added Twitidon

Lot’s of interest in Mastodon and other social media projects in the Fediverse now that Musk tries to reign Twitter.

Jan explained how easy it is to your existing Twitter peers in the Fediverse and import them using fedifinder.glitch.me:

HTML / XML / RSS link checker – Visual Studio Marketplace

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/10/04

On my list of Visual Studio Code extensions to try (after I change the shortcuts, as direct Alt shortcuts are not a good idea, luckily those are configurable)

[Wayback/Archive.is] HTML / XML / RSS link checker – Visual Studio Marketplace (partly paraphrased):

VSCode extension that checks for broken links in an HTML, XML, RSS, PHP, or Markdown file.

…

Checks currently open file:

  • for broken links in anchor-href, link-href, img-src, and script-src tags in currently-open HTML or PHP file
  • both clearnet and onion (Tor) links
  • for badly-formatted mailto links, and duplicate local anchors (anchor-name, anchor-id)
  • for working HTTPS equivalents of HTTP links

Optionally checks for invalid characters and common mistakes (missing tag content, empty attribute value, more).

Also checks for errors in a small subset of semantic HTML tags (in HTML and PHP files): checks that each page has header, main, footer; checks that each heading is inside a section, article, or aside; checks that each section/article/aside has exactly one heading in it; checks that heading values are nested properly.

…

To see/change settings for this extension, open Settings (Ctrl+,) / Extensions / “HTML / XML / RSS link checker”.

To change the key-combinations for this extension, open File / Preferences / Keyboard Shortcuts and search for Alt+H or Alt+T or Alt+M or Alt+L.

Jelmer Visser on Twitter: “Doelwit van een flamewar op Twitter? Dat is vervelend. Zo doorsta je de storm. … 1/*”

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/10/02

Good thread: [Archive.is] Jelmer Visser on Twitter: “Doelwit van een flamewar op Twitter? Dat is vervelend. Zo doorsta je de storm. 1. Blijf kalm, reageer nergens op 2. Traceer de ergste aanjagers, herkenbaar aan quotetweets met meeste likes 3. Zoek naar je eigen naam met een sokpop voor screenshots van geblokte accounts 1/*”

Herhaald appel aan #MeerOverMedisch (hallo @ReneSteenhorst): zorg dat je behalve per columnist de columns van individuele columnisten makkelijk terug kunt vinden. Bijvoorbeeld de geweldige columns van @IvanWolffers.

Posted by jpluimers on 2022/09/05

Ik herhaal mijn appel van een paar weken terug:

[Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Tip voor #MeerOverMedisch (ik hoop dat @ReneSteenhorst dit kan laten fiksen): zorg dat je behalve meerovermedisch.nl/columntypes/gastcolumn/ ook per columnist de columns van individuele columnisten makkelijk terug kunt vinden. Bijvoorbeeld de geweldige columns van @IvanWolffers.”

De volledige draad vind je op [Wayback/Archive] Thread by @jpluimers on Thread Reader App, waarover hieronder meer.
