In the biggest clean-up to this site since back 2020 when I took the photo gallery down and static’d the wiki, I’ve cobbled together a new theme and logo, made a bunch of under-the-hood changes, and went waaaay down the rabbit hole automated content cleanup (fixing broken links, missing images, etc). One of the biggest irritations I had with the previous theme, Period<\/a>, is that it didn’t have great support for code blocks<\/code> and never really felt like… mine. It worked well enough, so I just stuck with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For a logo I just quickly drew something up with a paintbrush in Photoshop than ran it through a vectorizing \/ site icon generation process, and… I got that. I’m not sure if I’m completely happy with it, but it’ll do for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps long overdue, I moved the server from Apache<\/a> to Caddy<\/a>. While Apache is the venerable web server, and been used here for quite some time, I’ve always been a bit fond of using atypical servers (such as lighttpd<\/a>). I’ve been using Caddy on trailmaps.app<\/a> for a couple years and been extremely happy with its automatic support for ACME<\/a>, so with not much else to do yesterday afternoon I flipped things over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also put some time in getting OpenGraph<\/a> (see also opengraph.xyz<\/a>) working, which helps when links are shared and things are indexed. This just more polish, but makes things nicer, especially as so<\/em> many things do rich link previews these days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is still got some cleanup of the Caddy config to do — removing some old rewrites and MIME types from years-old experiments — but for the first-pass a direct translation of one config to the other made the change-over easy. There’s probably some further tweaking of PHP needed for performance, but that needs some time for the server to settle. I imagine there’ll also be some content cleanup, like fixing filenames for the wiki archive and maybe some old blog post format things, but those’ll (hopefully) get handled as I stumble across them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes me happy, because I feel like I’m knocking a bunch of technical debt items off a long-put-away mental list; things that I deemed too hard-for-then and just accepted. Not bad for a few afternoons\/evenings during a heat wave where I’m a bit nonplussed about being outside yet am itching to do something<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
