New blogpost:

@neil huh! I hadn't paid close attention. I think that's a default in something in the 11ty stack we're using, but Im not sure.

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@adamshostack It seems to work fine, but it just surprised me!

[bekopharm@indieweb.social]

@neil why yes. It even knows tricks thanks to Post Kinds: https://beko.famkos.net/follow/

(or… you know… just use ActivityPub)

[macronaut@mas.to]

@neil Thank you for making me feel better and providing the motivation to clean it up and publish couple of more articles.

@neil Already got one! Happily, Hugo does RSS automatically, although it defaults to the first few paragraphs rather than full text. It's a small change, though.

The blog is just me being very nerdy about a particular make of 90s pocket computer, plus the occasional foray into modern homelab stuff. All, of course, sans AI.

@thelastpsion That sounds right up my street!

@neil

I've had full text feeds for a long time, in both Atom and jsonfeed formats as RSS is fairly obsolete by now. I like feeds, I even made a new tab browser extension with a feed widget

@neil annoyingly, although I have full text feeds they don't have images in them - whether this is a big or a feature probably depends on your philosophy

[troed@swecyb.com]

@neil Hugo generated RSS for my blog here - but since I know some RSS parsers choke on it (News in Nextcloud for example) I'll take this opportunity to ask if anyone can spot what the problem is and help me fix it

I _think_ it's due to an apostrophe in the name, but so far I haven't figured out how to solve it.

@troed If nothing else, it fails validation because the first 24 lines are blank:

Just a moment...

@neil I want to create one, but as I'm not using any sort of CMS, it's not that easy. But thanks for the reminding (that I read on CapyReader ), I'll try again to do something!

[ruben@kedara.social]

@neil I have a full text feed: https://kedara.eu/blog/index.xml I do limit it to a maximum of 10 articles; on the one hand, to make it a tad harder to scrape all of my site in one go. On the other hand, I once came across a feed that contained roughly 300 posts. That's a bit too much to process for an unsuspecting new follower

[neil@mastodon.neilzone.co.uk]

@ruben I used to have all my posts in my feed, but I changed that when I switched static site generators.

@BestGirlGrace Oh, that's cool!

Not as cool as having a fax number in a fedi profile though
