After having read what horrors people experienced when they upgrade their Hugo binaries, I made sure that I've kept the version that I used to make my test site & also consequently use *that* version to continue to teach myself a higher level of fluency in the markdown language

Anyone familiar with #Hugo enough to tell me if I can get it to just make me a static site without any extra features? No blogging, no "featured" pages or whatever. I just want to stick a bunch of markdown files into a directory structure and have them rendered into HTML.

You know, the thing I did in 30 lines of C#, but with proper linking between pages. Heheh.

It's weird... now that my site is based on #hugo - the excellent static site generator, I end up composing most of my blog posts inside my programming #ide, #vscodeOSS.

I can't say exactly why, but something about it feels strange.

I've been setting up my portfolio with Hugo and experimenting with different themes and layouts. Here’s a quick write-up on how I started and some lessons learned along the way. Feedback is always welcome!

I'm looking for a new comment system for my #Hugo blog, and I'm not seeing any clearly great options.

I've been using #Commento for #comments on my blog for a few years now, and it's about time to switch comment systems.

Commento has been effectively unmaintained for 4 years (see https://gitlab.com/commento/commento). Their (paid) hosted version has been continuing to work, but I've seen increasing numbers of errors lately, so it's time to move.

I'd really *love* something that could integrate semi-natively with #activitypub so new blog posts could show up in Mastodon and Mastodon replies would show up as comments, *but* I don't want to require a fediverse account for commenters; that rules out most (all?) of the embedded-Mastodon comment options.. After looking through Hugo's somewhat-outdated list of commenting options (https://gohugo.io/content-management/comments/), it looks like #Discourse is the only option that even *slightly* fits that, and it's a lot heavier-weight than I really want to run today. Hours-of-maintenance-per-comment should be less than 1, thanks.

Basic requirements:

- Either easy to self-host or has a cheap hosted option.
- Allows anonymous comments plus common external auth options.
- Possible to import comments from Commento, possibly requiring code on my part, but it needs to allow arbitrary names, etc.
- Works with static sites.
- Not a privacy disaster
- If self-hosted, ideally written in something sane -- Go, Rust, etc. *Ideally* it's a single binary that listens to HTTP and stores comments in Postgres.
- Supports Markdown.

Does anyone have anything that they're really happy with?

I’m a wordy bastard. I really struggle with 500 characters. I’d struggle with 500 words sometimes. It's been hard to find a flow here (despite Mona's fantastic thread generator.)

I’m creating a #blog to house longer writings and share thoughts here without requiring anyone to visit platforms so many gathered here to avoid.

I'm using #Hugo instead of my usual #WordPress and dipping my toes into #Go and #TailwindCSS. I've only created the local structures, but so far, I dig it! It's #FOSS too!

Hey #indeweb, anyone with experience hosting (open-sourced) personal sites with media files (images, PDF) on #Codeberg? I aim to make use of a #Hugo pipeline from Codeberg to Codeberg Pages, like from Github to Github Pages / Netlify / Vercel. I don't want to test the limits of the terms of use though. Also considering #Cloudinary, bit unsure how to manage the upload automatically.

Just posted a brief description of how I incorporated the HTML details disclosure element into my emacs to ox-hugo to hugo stream. Many who are more tech-savvy than I will find this obvious, but it might be helpful to some.

Like many others, I post notes about my reading in my blog. Some of those notes are rather long, and some readers might stop scrolling and leave the page before noticing a book that they might find interesting. But TIL about the HTML details disclosure element. Now I have a short summary, and readers can click on the summary to reveal the entire note. Seems much cleaner to me. (And #emacs, #oxhugo, and #hugo make it very easy to do this.)

#blogging @bookstodon

A couple of years back I wrote a blog post about linking my static blog posts to Mastodon threads so that the threads can serve as blog comments.

I realise I never pinned that post to my profile, and I have since deleted the Mastodon thread, so I'm sharing it again. I'm pinning it this time!

Hey @NVAccess someone wanted me to record going through their #Hugo and #Eleventy website, on video, using a screen reader and upload the video to PeerTube. Is there any visual things I can do to make the experience easier to follow for sighted viewers? I've enabled speech viewer but I can't seem to alt tab to it? Am I supposed to dock the speech viewer on the side of the screen or keep it focused? I have the highlight enabled. Is there anything else I can do to make the keystrokes easier to follow visually built into NVDA itself?

Still haven't had the time or motivation to sit down and write a real #blog post, but I've updated my #now page again. Check it out!

What I Learned from Setting Up Hugo:

- Repeatable Process: It’s not just about building a beautiful website, but creating a reusable system for other projects.
- Long-Term Flexibility: Quick solutions often come with extra fees for updates and customization, while Hugo allows full control and flexibility.
- Theme Exploration: Understanding the core principles of a website through themes.

The current "struggle" is actually an investment.
