figured out a way to embed masto / gotosocial custom emoji in any #jekyll page!

- download the custom_emojis.json for your instance (on GTS this currently requires a token with admin read scope) https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/custom_emojis/
- use a script to download the images locally to their shortcodes, here's one i wrote in ruby: https://miyaku.media/downloads/masto-emojis-dl.rb
- install emoji_for_jekyll and point emoji-images-path at the emojis you just downloaded: https://github.com/yihangho/emoji-for-jekyll (won't work with github pages auto-building sites, maybe you can figure out getting jemoji to work with this instead)
- now you can use emoji :shortcodes: anywhere in your jekyll site or blog and they'll get turned into images with an .emoji CSS class!

After trolling through many tags and lists trying to see what folks enjoy for #smallweb site generators and frameworks seems like good old dusty #jekyll and #nginx is probably as good as bet as any. One constraint thats not implicitly met by Jekyll is no javascript, but that’s reliant on themes.

For hosting.. probably just find something reasonable through #lowendtalk since I’ve been unable to convince #linode my account from > 10 years ago is actually mine.

Ze spraw około-blogowych, poświęciłem trochę czasu na ulepszenie strony głównej bloga. W końcu są tam jakieś obrazki.

Pamiętajcie, że pod każdą zajawką na blogu znajdują się dodatkowe rekomendacje literatury w temacie. To jest ta jedna rzecz, która ma być unikalna dla strony głównej bloga, niedostępna na social mediach.

Dzięki za zaglądanie tu i na xiegozbior.pl! Zawsze mnie cieszy, że coś co publikuję, może się komuś przydać!

Someone's just shared an interesting probably useful tool in the Jekyll subreddit, to convert Medium posts to markdown and synch to a Jekyll blog for backup (or to migrate I assume). It looks good.

Sry to share a reddit link but it's worth it.

I kinda feel like going back to a side bar, thoughts?

In this installment on PBS about the static site generator Jekyll to create free websites on GitHub, @bart digs into the build process, and how the location, naming, and content of files automatically turn into web pages.

Recently, I figured out how to get the mastodon-markdown-archive script working, which is a great script, and you should check it out, here. But! I wanted to do the same thing with Bluesky, in the...

O how hard it is to manage a #Jekyll site, compared to #GoHugo...

I justed posted this question on StackOverflow, about using YAML frontmatter variables to reference page-specific data files on a #Jekyll site using #Liquid.

Suggestions/boosts appreciated!

Can someone point me to an explainer on what is happening in the #Hugo SSG (Static Site Generator) community? I hear stuff about "pay for features" but 'm not really sure what is happening. (FTR, I still happily rely on #Jekyll for my sites, but am always willing to try alternatives and Hugo was obviously a possible choice)

@bart and I take our first baby steps at creating a simple site using Jekyll and GitHub Pages in this week’s PBS. We got to install Ruby, learn about Gems and Bundler, learn about Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets (Sass), install Bootstrap locally and more.

Hi, I've just released version 0.2.0 of Jekyll AI Related, a #Jekyll command plugin to generate related posts using #AI. It generates embeddings on OpenAI and stores them on Supabase. Check it out!

I'm adding #Mastodon as a #comment system to all my old #blog posts. A reaction to this Mastodon post will show up as a comment.

This is one about automatically adding #SEPA Credit Transfer #QR codes to #GnuCash / #LaTeX #invoices: https://bammerlaan.nl/posts/Automatically-adding-QR-codes-gcinvoice-GnuCash-invoices

New blog post: This post has been generated with Eleventy

Migrating from #Jekyll to #11ty @eleventy, and my impressions after using both static web generators. https://lamaquinadeturing.su/en/2025/02/this-post-has-been-generated-with-eleventy/

Hey, anyone looking for a #website, either #personal or to house an #academic project? @RyanChartier builds and maintains #MinimalComputing sites that run on #Jekyll - they are #secure, #EnergyEfficient, and don't rely on #plugins owned by other corporations. Check out his site at https://blog.ryan-chartier.net/ - he built my website and then handed me the reins and I'm very happy to have full control over my official page.

I love #11ty but the feature(s) I miss the most from #Jekyll the most is how seamless and easy it was to have headings with anchors, a TOC, and footnotes. In 11ty trying to have all three consistently leaves me with confusion and giving up on my beloved footnotes. #builtwith11ty #BuildInPublic
