note to my future self: Bsky only renders the "View publication" button if the trailing slash (or absence) of the shared link **exactly** matches what's in the atproto record 😅

New: I spent nine months creating a digital edition of The Naturalist’s Library, William Jardine’s 40-volume 19th-century natural history series. 1,300+ plates restored, 2.4m words, 27 posters, and 1 huge book. Explore: www.c82.net/naturalists-... How it was made: www.c82.net/blog/making-...
Do you set up e2e screenshot tests for your personal website too, or am I just out of my mind?

Finally found a use for that Apple Developer Program fee 💡. I'll give their MapKit JS a shot to render maps on my site. Since I need tiles anyway, might as well get some money back 😉 They recently released their v6 btw. webkit.org/blog/18027/d...

It's done ✅. I moved all my static sites, including my personal website, from my tooling to... my tooling 😂 They were hosted with Juno and now I run them on VPS with Kyushu, and I use Yawa for the analytics. DNS is back in 🇨🇭, servers in 🇩🇪, so everything is in EU now 🥳 daviddalbusco.com

Hi there! 👋 I'm a freelance web engineer.

I rolled out two features to kyushu.dev 🌋 today: 1️⃣ Support for pre- and postbuild hooks 2️⃣ An option to serve static assets from the mounted file system with all the fancy logic 🎩 One more site to go and I'll have moved everything, hop hop!
I've added a GitHub Actions section to Kyushu's docs. 👨🏫 It takes a few steps to set up the automatic deploy from CI to the VPS using SSH, but it does the trick. ✅ If you've got a better idea, scream! kyushu.dev/guides/githu...

🚀 Just added support for static assets to Kyushu You can now bundle your website directly into the Wasm binary. At runtime, files are served from its memory, without any filesystem IO. How cool is that? 😎 kyushu.dev/guides/stati...

Every single time I forget the dockerignore file and then I'm like "why the heck is my GitHub Action failing?!" 😅
And, I bought a new domain name, again... 😅 Not sold on the branding yet, but it's time to test something new in the wild, plus been a while since I've used a SQL db 🤷
