At some point in the past… I dunno, two years or so, it appears that my RSS
feeds broke.
I use Zola to generate this site, and they don’t have much in the way of a
cross-version compatibility guarantee – minor version updates routinely break
my templates. (I’m currently stuck on an older version because of this
bug.) They appear to have changed
the names of the RSS-related settings, causing my detection for generate_rss
to always return false (because they also seem to default any typo’d
configuration key to false). Whee.
Anyway, should be back on now – thanks to all the folks who have asked about
this.
Since it looks like some folks have been actually reading my blog, I’ve made a
pass over the site, looking for accessibility problems. I have increased visual
contrast and made links within articles slightly more obvious. The comments in
code samples are still under the WCAG recommended constrast level, but they’re
generated by a third party syntax highlighting library, so fixing them is more
involved.
Please let me know if you have any difficulty using the site!
While djb is perhaps best known for writing qmail, he also wrote a web
server, publicfile. Like his other software, publicfile is simple and
robust. I use it to serve this site, among other software.
Characteristically for djb, publicfile is pretty minimal out of the box. Here
are a few patches I applied to the source to make my server faster, more
flexible, and easier to use.
