    Ever have one of those days where you just can&#39;t figure out a bit of code that should be simple? I&#39;m trying to put together a big `` template in an #11ty nunjucks shortcode. I have an external image store and optimiser, and so I just want to pass the filename so that I can piece together the correct query url to resize/optimise the image. Can I get that to work? Can I bobbins! It seems to be trying to insert an object rather than interpreting the filename as a plain string to insert i...

    Not a good start to the day: the handle of my favourite, handmade coffee mug basically exploded in my hand, while the mug was full of coffee. Much breakage, such a mess. RIP favourite mug.

    Of course, this self-hosting success is highly dangerous because now I’m thinking, why don’t I just spin up a VM, install NixOS with Caddy and friends instead of using a static host service. I’ve run a VM in the past to host my site but I’m trying to be a Sensible Person ™️ now and remember why I stopped doing that. tldr: you have the freedom to set things up how you want but you are responsible for cleaning up the mess when you do something stupid. 😏

    I’ve just set up a private, self-hosted, Tailscale-protected Forgejo instance on my home Unraid server, and it works!! I’ve still got runners to set up but I’m really chuffed. #selfhosted #forgejo

    Sorry for the long hiatus on my blog. Things have happened (family, health, heatwave) which have occupied my attention. However, I&#39;m also now trying to convert my blog to 11ty, move to a new host, and to a new git forge. As often happens in these situations, I keep thinking, &quot;I&#39;ll just wait till the site move is done before I post...&quot; so you could be waiting some time.

    I&#39;ve got a question for the Masto hive mind on behalf of Mr. Bsag. He doesn&#39;t sleep well and is very sensitive to sound (#AuDHD), so he wears noise-cancelling headphones a lot, especially at night to play white noise etc., when outside to mask traffic noise, and so on. He has a couple of pairs of AKG N60s, but they eventually wear out and they are getting hard to source used. Does anybody have recommendations for headphones similar to these that are: - on ear (not in-ear or over-ear)...
