@neil so I don’t self host, but that doesn’t absolve me of choices in what/where tech I buy, and I’ll tell people why I’ve made those choices - somebody has to pay (including volunteer/hobby time) somewhere. Is it £3/month to FB (current UK ‘don’t consent’ price) or the same to this mastodon instance? DropBox/OneDrive/Google, or hetzner for Nextcloud (and actually this one worked out cheaper for us)… Gmail or Runbox… GitHub pages or mythic beasts… the value is worth it.

I self-host a lot of stuff. -
#hugo - if I want to change something about the way my chosen theme works, I should NOT change the themes/<theme>/layouts files, instead I should copy the file(s) into layouts/ and change there, yes?@limebar in all honesty, I quickly gave up with that quite quickly and just forked the theme. Too many tweaks here there and everywhere for it to be worth working out what I was overriding and what was original.
