Buying a site for 44 billion dollars and then deciding to scrap the entire stack in order to build from scratch. lol, lmao

lmao Musk was in a twitter space with all his sycophants and he got angry and was like "I'm going to rewrite twitter from the ground up" and even they were realizing that he's a fucking idiot

@pleia2 AMD Ryzen was a _huge_ game changer IMO

@pleia2 it's wild looking at those specs and then comparing today. I think my AMD Ryzen build is about the same price ~$600 and has way more cores, similar clock speed, but 32gb of ram

number of clout chasing Covid MDs turn out to be complete frauds https://sfstandard.com/technology/these-doctors-pushed-masking-covid-lockdowns-on-twitter-turns-out-they-dont-exist/

Fixed a trivial bug in my mastodon client

@jamz @skyfaller @alexhillman WFP suffers from the same dynamics that DSA does, where there are liberals trying to take it over and fold it into the democratic party machine. Constant vigilance is required.

@skyfaller @alexhillman there is no credible Republican candidate for any Philadelphia office. The working families party should run candidates, because they could become the second major party in the city.

LOL literally was a two line change. Thanks XHTML, you were awesome.

Ok now that I have jekyll working, I suppose it's probably time to move from XHTML 1.0 Transitional to HTML5

@inkypitchbot

Hey this one is actually pretty good

I forgot how much fun using Jekyll is, and how easy S3 static site hosting makes everything.

I couldn't resist putting "Latest toots" on my homepage where my mastodon feed is embedded.

Thanks to https://fedifeed.com/ for the embed code!

Having fun reading

On the same day the Inquirer reports on how corrupt, FOP-chosen doctors put hundreds of cops on disability with full pay, WHYY reports that FOP President John McNesby is on Democrat Josh Shapiro's transition team

In the end, I said fuck it and pushed the _site directory to my S3 bucket and hoped for the best.

Thankfully, it just worked. Who knows if there are any regressions. I know I made some major changes to the site and templates to make it work with newer versions of Jekyll, removed a bunch of plugins that no longer work, so some pages may no longer look as nice as they should, but at this point it's time to at least push the site and accept whatever breakage happens

It was kind of a nightmare using cygwin. Ruby 2.3.8 wouldn't compile correctly, and Ruby 3.2 made some breaking changes that broke Liquid templates and Jekyll in general - https://github.com/Shopify/liquid/issues/1625
https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/9094

So the workaround was to install Ruby 3.1.3 and switching my Rakefile to use the AWS CLI client instead of s3_website.

Since the Jekyll docs were still recommending to use s3_website I pushed a patch to change that recommendation

Back in June I tried to update my Jekyll blog. I did a bad job of tracking the Ruby version that was used with it. It was originally built in like 2013 with like Ruby 1.x series. In June I updated it and fought some dependency hell to get it to use Ruby 2.x and update Jekyll to 4.x. I built the site on MacOS but was never confident enough to actually push the update to the site.

Well, I went through the whole thing all over again tonight, updating to use Ruby 3.1
