It does sometimes feel like every American goes on an angry and unconciliatory political rant at the slightest hint of a diverging opinion. Not that elsewhere is perfect. "May you live in interesting times" is said to be a curse, not a blessing.

for a time

Somebody commented they will adapt, given time.

you have to scroll so much further down a thread before the good info is found.

I feel Lemmy's algorithm does a nice job of pushing newer comments to the top, but of course one needs to search longer for the good stuff the more comments there are.

in other words: welcome redditors, pls leave the reddit bs at the door on your way in.

Somebody else here commented that they will adapt. I like that, I hope it's true, and possibly my biggest takeaway from this post because it is something we can all actively contribute to.

Thanks for the breakdown, this is really helpful.

It kind of confirms my unclear suspicions concerning Hugo.

Looking at its templating language, it looks daunting.

Looking at Jinja, it looks identical to Twig. There's at least one other templating language that is almost identical. I wonder why that is, or where the actual differences lie (not the underlying mechanics, but the spec).

What I thought was my biggest requirement actually isn't: I tried Zola yesterday, it is not in Debian's repos, but it's a single executable, unzipped straight from their github and Just Works. Everything becomes easier when you don't have to worry about software that connects to the world (assuming the generated HTML is 100% safe of course).

But I'm also trying Pelican. I don't care if it's slow.

Thank you! instead of the deb package or building it myself, I just downloaded the lastest from their github. It is one executable, and seems to be working fine so far. Not saying it's my choice, but it's easy enough for a quick test and the templating language looks very familiar.

My runner up was Pelican, because I was fluent in Jinja2, but I didn’t want to mess around with the templates and Hugo’s were prettier.

I think you're the first one mentioning Pelican. Apart from the theming, would you recommend it? I'm familiar with Twig.

needing to find a gallery component

Oh yes, that would also be relatively important to me. Again, does Pelican offer that?

I would say I’m seeing perhaps a small wave of new users from Reddit though not nearly as big as the wave from the API changes.

Thanks for putting some perspectve on it!

time on Lemmy tends to shift people’s perspective to “fit in” more.

That sounds good; maybe my post sounded a bit pessimistic.

2x 6TB 2nd hand commercial grade HDD’s

wow. I was wondering what these five inch tanks were. Haven't seen one in a while.

Also spinning drives should be stored either horizntally or vertically for all their life.

Tagging is an app-only feature. Would like to see that in the browser too, though.

Yep. Tagging is an app-only feature. Would like to see that in the browser too, though.

Elon left the White House an utter failure.

Socially, yes. And he hates it. He's a narcissist, I doubt he will think of it as a success. OTOH, that's exactly what he's been doing for decades: failing yet still coming out richer afterwards.

Honestly it baffles me that this is enough to become the richest person in the world.
When will we learn that he actively influences these statistics to stroke his ego?

Self host

On a static site generator? Can you link me to that please?

What about Hugo's templating language? It's been said to be daunting:

• "It gets admittedly more complex if you’re wanting to write your own theme though."
• "But as soon as you do want to customize it, you’re stuck learning one of the most esoteric languages that wasn’t meant as a joke."
• "The documentation is unclear and there’s a chicken and egg problem about how to learn Hugo."

I'm skeptical because it seems tied to the github universe.

And here's what other people commented about Hugo:

• "It gets admittedly more complex if you’re wanting to write your own theme though."
• "But as soon as you do want to customize it, you’re stuck learning one of the most esoteric languages that wasn’t meant as a joke."
• "The documentation is unclear and there’s a chicken and egg problem about how to learn Hugo."

What do you think?

edit: lol the downvoting fanbois. Try to answer the questions if you really think Hugo is superior.

Isn't it overkill? I'm also skeptical because it seems tied to the github universe.

And here's what other people commented about Hugo:

Why would I choose that over my requirements? It's not in Debian repos.

That's usually fixable with templating. What sort of comment integration? Some third party I guess?

Interesting. Big Names.

It's based on some js framework, right? Probably pulls in Gigabytes of dependencies.

Why would I choose that over my requirements? It's not in Debian repos.

GNU/Guile Scheme

What is that?

Why would I choose Haunt over my requirements? It's not in Debian repos.
