Today on my blog, a bad bot requested the same URL 30 times in less than a second, all from different IPs from residential and mobile ISPs with faked browser user-agents. I understand if they would have requested 30 different URLs in the same time frame, but 30 times the same URL?

If I would be using a dynamic blog like #WordPress without proper caching, the blog could have been down. Thanks to a static site generator like #Jekyll or #Hugo, I’m just annoyed, but not impacted.

I’m really into minimalistic themes and enjoy making them a lot. Some with barely any styling, some with a lot of color.

If the tools don’t suffice, you find other ways to make it happen by using simple #Unix tools.

I extracted using UUIDs as web feed IDs instead of URLs in #Jekyll (or other SSGs) into its own post so I could explain all the code that’s making this happen.

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.

O how hard it is to manage a #Jekyll site, compared to #GoHugo...

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!

Can someone point me to an explainer on what is happening in the #Hugo SSG (Static Site Generator) community? I hear stuff about "pay for features" but 'm not really sure what is happening. (FTR, I still happily rely on #Jekyll for my sites, but am always willing to try alternatives and Hugo was obviously a possible choice)

@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.

I wanted to give my personal site a facelift, so I've been playing with a couple static site generators today.

I started with #Jekyll but couldn't get theming to work properly. I gave #Hugo a shot next and things just worked. I'm still getting the hang of things, but I'm really digging the results!

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

Transitioning my blog #Jekyll to #11ty came with some obstacles. I wrote up a few python scripts to practice my python skills and facilitate some of the drudgery. Well that was the goal, it was more like practicing my #regex skills.

It won't help everyone in the same situation but maybe it'll inspire:

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?
