  • I’m starting to think it’s something super specific to the particular hugo theme I’m using and how it wants users to insert custom js/css to get it all baked down into the right place in the final output. I’ll keep bashing on it, thanks for your help!

    Edit: OK this is kind of hilarious considering the community I posted to, but I actually think it works fine but something about my Librewolf setup is breaking it. It works fine in Firefox and Chrome, and since I jump around between them as I work I just happened to test in Librewolf right as I made this change. Not to get too far into the weeds but I think I’m going to just go ahead with not linking cloudflare. Thanks again.


  • Thanks fixed. Interesting jerboa and the web version of lemmy are developed by the same person but using the “code” button in the web frontend only uses one backtick. That might be worth a bug report.

    I’m actually trying to get away from github also, so maybe codeberg pages instead? This is a part of the process I haven’t done enough research into, I wanted to get the static site working locally first then “shop around” for hosts.




  • Something about how hugo is cooking everything down into a /public directory is breaking the overlay images (like the next/prev arrow). I’m sure I can track it down but since I’m pretty inexperienced this will take me some time (at cursory glance all the paths seemed good, so I’m not sure why it’s broken).

    I would also prefer to host it myself so maybe I should just do this…








  • It’s the same as learning anything, really. A big part of learning to draw is making thousands of bad drawings. A big part of learning DIY skills is not being afraid to cut a hole in the wall. Plan to screw up. Take your time, be patient with yourself, and read ahead so none of the potential screw-ups hurt you. Don’t be afraid to look foolish, reality is absurd, it’s fine.

    We give children largess to fail because they have everything to learn. Then, as adults, we don’t give ourselves permission to fail. But why should we be any better than children at new things? Many adults have forgotten how fraught the process of learning new skills is and when they fail they get scared and frustrated and quit. That’s just how learning feels. Kids cry a lot. Puttering around on a spare computer is an extremely safe way to become reacquainted with that feeling and that will serve you well even if you decide you don’t like Linux and never touch it again. Worst case you fucked up an old laptop that was collecting dust. That is way better than cutting a hole in the wall and hitting a pipe.
