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!

Update from four years later: I’ve switched away from Hakyll. These notes are here for their historical value only.

I used to manage this site with Jekyll. I’ve now switched to Hakyll. Here’s my reasoning and some notes on how it went.

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.
