Rambling

Woke up on time today, ready to do stuff!

Website

Got the urge to get it up, found [[Zola]], from skoove from hopping in the Namtao Productions Discord on a whim 😆 (No Boilerplate is great!) Super easy to setup, though it'll probably take some tweaking for me to get it how I want it. Changed the accent color from yellow to green last night, using the Hacker Theme, (couldn't stand the yellow color, green is much more preferable)

Zola

It's a lightweight SSG (Static Site Generator) that runs in the command line, and parses markdown files into html, which is really all I want an SSG to do for me. The theme was a bit tricky to set up, but eventually I just renamed zola-hacker to blog and configured it for my own use (which I'm still doing, has a lot of blog stuff that I'm not using or don't want to use, like seo and giscus and whatnot) Live reloading to the home server is real nice!

Tangent

Chromium was setting mime-types and default apps to itself which annoyed me and this person had the same problem so I just copied the script from here (had to install qt5-tools) but it works so I'm happy. Just wish it would ask to set default browser and it doesn't 🙄 (Using Chromium 'cause Firefox doesn't support WebHID for my steno keyboard)

Configuration

Had to replace amber in the sass/main.scss file with a new color added in the _default_colors.scss $main-green: #00c000;, since it was generating the main.css from that file it seems like, overriding my color 😆

The theme wants the frontmatter in a specific way else the site won't build, and I'm getting frustrated with it. Might pick it up later 🤷

Yeah I don't need hacker theme, going with boring them I guess 😆
