When I initially set up my site, I had been planning on running it on a Raspberry Pi 4. If you’ve tried to get hold of a Pi 4 in the last three years, you’ll know why that’s not gonna work. I still have plans for getting my own SBC (specifically waiting for the Star64 to release), but in the mean time I found a different solution. https://mossfet.xyz/blog/newsite/ Wed, 31 Aug 2022 12:29:17 +0100 root@mossfet.xyz (Mossfet) https://mossfet.xyz/blog/newsite/ My previous website implementation left much to be desired. It was difficult to debug, implemented with a maze of makefiles, bizarre perl commands, and creative uses of pandoc. While it was a pretty useful exercise in pandoc and make, it wasn’t really a sustainable solution. I had heard about Hugo from YouTube, and was already planning to use it to implement a friend’s blog, so figured this would be good practise. https://mossfet.xyz/blog/metaballs/ Tue, 17 May 2022 17:57:00 +0100 root@mossfet.xyz (Mossfet) https://mossfet.xyz/blog/metaballs/ 1: TIC-80 A few months ago, I stumbled across the concept of ‘metaballs’ on YouTube. I was already trying to work on a semi-successful 3D graphics project on the TIC-80, a fantasy console similar to the Pico-8, so when I gave up on that, I decided to try my hand at writing them there as well. You can find the result here It didn’t go horribly, but I was pretty dissatisfied with the performance and the limitation to a few colour bands. https://mossfet.xyz/blog/site/ Tue, 17 May 2022 17:56:00 +0100 root@mossfet.xyz (Mossfet) https://mossfet.xyz/blog/site/ Note: This is outdated. I have rewritten the site with Hugo, and the solution described here was never hosted I made a website! And a blog! It remains to be seen how much I’ll use it, but I’ll at least make a post on how I made it The site uses a very convoluted static site generator I wrote with makefiles and pandoc, the source of which can be found in the header of my website, along with that of the rest of this site (not that I would recommend using it.
