🚧 What did you do to your website today?

Besides some smaller changes here and there, I added a page about web and phone games I play. Some of the games I list, currently three, are ones where you can add friends. So if you play one of them, feel free to add me!

Oh, I’m so excited! I’ve been using ClassicPress for my blog for a while now (which I LOVE), and the one drawback was that the IndieWeb plugins were somehow causing my comments forms to break. Well, somewhere along the line, something got fixed, because I’m able to use it now without issues!

That means my blog FINALLY supports webmentions (which I was able to test successfully), and I can use IndieAuth! Plus, I also figured out how to bridge my Fediverse account to Bluesky using Bridgy Fed:

:heart_eyes: I know the fed bridge and webmentions aren’t for everyone, but I’ve been wanting both for a while, and I’m excited that I finally did!

Wowhead is the biggest database of World of Warcraft stuff on the web. I’ve added Wowhead tooltips to pages on my site with links to Wowhead so that you can see the item/spell/achievment details without clicking through. They show just like they do in-game.

Check it out on my latest recap post’s gaming section: Monthly Recap: March 2025

Nothing to show for it yet, but I’ve been working on the structure for the projects section of my website. It’s been a bit frustrating because I’m tired and I’m running into past 11ty decisions that aren’t working with the changes… But I guess I’ll figure it out eventually?

(I really need to start using branches so I can commit and push blog posts without publishing half-finished structural changes at the same time…)

I adjusted the markup for my menus so that they’d work without CSS, because today is CSS Naked Day and I’m participating.

Somebody on the MelonLand forum tried to use an old link to an old post of mine about pulp sf author C. L. Moore and got a 404. I thought I had set up HTTP 301 redirects for everything, but I must have missed this one. So I fixed it.

Except for anybody trying to access my site via Reddit or HN. They get HTTP 402 and a quote from GoodFellas. If either site wants to link to mine to make their site more valuable (Reddit wants ad revenue, and Y Combinator wants more startups in which to invest), they can damned well pay me.

Here’s the relevant bit from my .htaccess file.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} news.ycombinator.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} facebook.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} threads.net [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} instagram.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} bsky.app [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} x.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} reddit.com [NC]
RewriteRule .* . [redirect=402,last]
ErrorDocument 402 "Fuck you. Pay me."

I did a little bit of cleaning to make my homepage a bit more reactive and pleasent to look at. No more just a wall of boring text!

I also added a barebones start at a colophon, I will start to fill it out more whenever I feel like it.

My website’s got a stylesheet again. You can find it at https://starbreaker.org/assets/styles/screen.css if you want to pull bits and pieces out of it.

Among other things, I ripped out dark mode support and added support for the Atkinson Hyperlegible fonts if a visitor has them installed on their device. Visited links are black now, but remain underlined so that visitors can still distinguish them from surrounding text.

I have set up SSH access to the server of my Hostinger premium shared hosting plan, including generating a pair of SSH keys for this server. This means now I can directly access my websites’ folders and files from my local machine’s terminal.

Nice. If you used Emacs you could use your local editor to edit server files with TRAMP.

I’ve been working on various things little by little for a while:
I added a centralized art directory page, which I don’t like the look of right now but it does the job. I plan on putting more effort into the presentation though. I also added a Pixel Art page which I’m just now realizing isn’t on the directory page yet! >>;;
The big thing though is that I now have an RSS feed…or Atom…I think. It took me an embarrassingly long time to figure out if I was doing it properly. So let me know if you subscribe and it’s totally broken! (link here)

Hello, and welcome back. I’m pulling your feed now, but unfortunately it’s still broken.

Hello and thank you! And I am un-surprised, lol. I’ll keep working on it. (怂-ω-)ノ

EDIT: Could also be the /rss.rss file which I put in there just to see if that’d work instead, and also because the filename plus the extension made me laugh. Time will tell…

No problem. You’ll get there eventually.

  • retired http support. website now works only via https. while supporting old browsers is neat and all its not practical ;-;
  • website is now using bunnyCDN (i dont trust cloudflare, lol)

Sunny’s site; Glossy Sunny Beachy Bakeria is now online for anyone to visit! I wanted to wait until I finished some of the important pages/elements in order to publish it, but it’s here! It’s finally done, I’m so happy with it. I know it’s not mobile friendly, but I’m gonna work on a different layout for mobile when I figure it out.

Also I made some minor changes to Cosy Diner’s project page in order to link Sunny’s site finally.

I love the layout you’ve got here! It’s so happy and colorful!

Today I finished up some image board software I’ve been working on to replace my ā€œmeme imagesā€ page that I’ve been unhappy with for a while. I took a bare-bones project on Github (which is credited in the footer), and added a bunch of features that I wanted as part of my ā€œdream software packageā€:
-tagging
-sorting on back end and front end
-up/downvote system
-captcha for comments
-gif filter

There are probably still things I need to clean up and implement, but I’m really proud of what I’ve got so far!
