So, I was working on a page redesign, but stuff happened and it turned into a whole new gamedev section on my other site. Not sure in which direction to take it yet, but it’s a start.
followed james’ guide on how to create an rss feed with h-feeds for Aster's Asterisms ! the question then becomes how i can make it a clickable .xml people can add to their rss reader (altho rn readers can still copy and paste the url to their feed reader) and how to change the title of the feed…

To change the name of the feed, the headline of the h-feed needs to include p-name.
Right now, you have:
<h2 class="p-author" rel="author">Aster's Signals</h2>
Change that to:
<h2 class="p-name p-author" rel="author">Aster's Signals</h2>
Bing bang boom, the title of your generated feed will reflect the change.

Moved two non-static sites from the VPS to my home server and encountered various exciting problems … everything is sorted now I think 
2 more moderately tricky things left to move and then all that’s left is a few static sites.

Got tired of my site’s colors. Changed it to dark more. Altered some text and link colors to keep them visible.

The new color theme looks good.
Thanks. I just made another slight adjustment. Made the link color a bit brighter blue - trying to make sure things have enough contrast with the black background.
Yesterday was my and my wife’s 15th anniversary and she reminded me of a website I made a very long time ago, a project I used to learn about databases.
Pretty cool to see it still running, but I did go ahead and modernized it just a bit with things like switching to a built-in date picker instead of a custom one, and improved experience on smaller screens.
Hope you’ll enjoy!

Migration of everything from (ex-)VPS to my home server is complete. Now I can stop flipping the “days since sudo systemctl restart nginx” counter to 0

This is technically a blog post, but it goes over a bunch of little tweaks and additions I did after doing an audit.

Not sure what went wrong, but following an upgrade and a security incident, my PmWiki broke and I couldn’t fix it. As an already underused app wasn’t worth the trouble, the fix was to replace the whole thing with static pages using my new SSG. As part of the process, some pages now live on other websites where they fit better. Three old blog posts from 2022 were dropped because they didn’t belong anymore. Sorry about that, but sometimes it’s needed for a fresh start.
(Oddly enough, the exact same PmWiki works perfectly well in my local testing environment, and of course I plan to keep the archive.)
While I’ve added features to hVmark in the last few months, the functional hVmark-to-HTML example in the Github repo was still from last December. So, I added examples of all the new features, with some small elaborations that I don’t think were adequately covered the first time around.
And the output HTML is from the actual parser in the repo; it’s not from the main parser on HisVirusness.com, a theoretical approximation of what the output could be, or anything in between. It’s 1:1, source-to-output, because honesty is the best policy.

Added a page for my sneakers. Barebones atm, stock photos. Need to clean a bunch before photographing them and add descriptions. I wear all of them to varying degrees.

oh you’ve just sparked an idea for me! thank you!
Nice, love it :)
There’s an endless amount of things we can add to our websites that will most likely only serve to satisfy ourselves :)

I finally uploaded my website. I’ve been working on it for a while and it’s defenetly not finished, but at least it’s now up. Also I finally registered myself here (I discovered this place a while ago, but didn’t want to join until I have my website up). I don’t have yet one of those fancy links with an image but I’ll leave the llink here:
Hope you like it! :)

This is extremely cute, thank you for sharing! My anniversary is coming up next month, actually. Nice to know I’ve been married for longer than Kevin Costner and Cindy Silva.
This is so cute, I love it!
I’ve been annoyed with some things about the theme of my Jekyll blog for a while, and I finally fixed some of them.
When I started this Jekyll blog, I forked a specific theme that I liked, but made a bunch of modifications. I had been thinking that I may have to start from scratch and make a new theme or modify a different one, but I didn’t want to lose all the customizations I had made, like my extra metadata section for weather and mood.
I looked again in the config yml and theme’s CSS and was able to make several easy changes that made me happy.
One thing I did was remove my self-photo profile picture and replace it with a pink bow icon I had previously made. Not that I have a problem with my picture, but I felt that having my picture at the top of the page made it feel more social media, and less blog. I also don’t always feel like having my face literally right next to everything I share.
The site was immediately so much cuter with the bow on top! It’s especially cute after the smaller-screen breakpoint. I made the bow the favicon for my blog.
I think I was a little CSS-rusty when I first set up this blog, and was focused on things like changing the color scheme. When I looked at the (theme’s default)CSS this time, it was obvious why those little annoyances were happening, and I quickly fixed them.
