🚧 What did you do to your website today?

Thank you so much! That’s so frustrating, even getting oils from Canada to the US was a bit of a process. I wonder if there are any makers in Europe? I love how people mix scents, I wouldn’t know where to start at all!

@small_cypress Omg, I love it! I might as well take a bit of inspiration from your page. :p

Well, I have been working on a dark mode for my website in the past few days. It’s not out yet, tho. I also changed my About picture, it’s a pixel art I did based on a real picture of myself. lol

I’ve been wanting to set up a page for various craft tutorials, and I’ve finally written one up and added a new page to hold it:

Also tweaked my layout a bit, and I’ll eventually make the other pages match as well (there are a loooooot of them)

The miniature plates tutorial is so cool! I love how they turned out. I just need to think of an excuse to make some.

Thank you! And I disagree–you need no excuses :smiling_face_with_horns: DOOO IIIIT!!!

This is so cute, I love the school records format and it’s a lively picture of their personalities. I need to know more about your chickens, please, I’m now a fan of theirs.

Had to update some links because of a very sad thing. I’m both feeling grateful for The Internet Archive and GitHub, and absolutely gutted that I needed them to help save Anne’s posts.

I’m really going to miss her.

I don’t know whether this is really in the spirit of the topic, but I’ve been in the weeds of setting up a build process for tkr and today I got my first automated test working on my gitea instance.

The test runs on a (very basic) custom container image that’s stored in the gitea package repository. So the whole process is under my control, which is cool. Fun fact - you can push docker images up to gitea even with anubis sitting in the way. I was pretty sure that wasn’t going to work.

Next up is to get it building and storing tkr packages (well, .zip files for now) so I don’t have to keep doing that manually. Then I just need to add a bunch more tests. I haven’t written many software tests before, and never with PHP, so it’s been fun to mess around with that.

Set up local PHP development on my Fedora Linux desktop since I have websites written in PHP.

Turned out there were more steps required to do so on Fedora than on Debian (my Linux distribution of choice on VPS and previously on Windows Subsystem for Linux), mainly because of SELinux, so I needed to manually configure the necessary permissions for PHP and Caddy (my HTTP server of choice), so my websites can run properly. I also had to manually configure PHP-FPM to ensure Caddy has access to it.

I’m making progress on my site! I ended up setting aside a lot of what I’d previously made because wrangling it to look good on mobile is more than I can handle right now.

My about page is looking pretty polished, now I’m just trying to figure out how to organise my other pages.

(This post is about the site I’m working on, not my blog.)

I’ve been working on my new Gemini capsule:

gemini://gemini.thefrugalgamer.net

At the same time, I added a link to it on my home page, and I’ve been going through fixing little things here and there. Found out I’ve had a tag open on most of my pages for ages now. Whoops…

not as exciting but i overhauled my blog page to use unique pages for each entry, as nice as it was having it all in one tab, it would become cumbersome to keep every full entry in one page as i write more. perhaps there’s a better way to do it eventually, but truncated posts in one page linking to the full blog pages seems fine for now

It looks great! I like how the little animations in your first post are in the post snippet, enticing the reader to read more🄰
