Today, I set out to add an llms.txt to this site. I've made a few similar additions in the past with raw post markdown files and a search index. Every time I try and change something with outputFormats in Hugo, I forget one of the steps, so in writing this up, finally I'll have it for next time.
I've started posting more on Bluesky and I noticed that articles from my site didn't have social image previews 😔
I added some configuration to this Hugo site allow access to the raw Markdown versions of posts. This enables you to hit URLs such as this to get the raw markdown of this post. You can find the same Raw link at the bottom of all my posts as well.
Hugo allows you to store your images with your content using a feature called page bundles. I was loosely familiar with the feature, but Claude explained to me how I could use it to better organize posts on this site and the images I add to them.

Last year I wrote about nix and direnv as I explored the potential convenience of an isolated, project-specific environment. There were some interesting initial learnings about nix, but I didn't really know what I was doing. Now, I still don't know what I'm doing, but I've been doing it for...

I looked into 11ty today to see if it could be worth migrating away from hugo, which is how (at the time of this post) I build my blog. After a bit of research and browsing, I setup this template and copied over some posts. Some over my older posts were using Hugo's markup for syntax...
I finished migrating my site to the latest release of Hugo today. It's been quite a while since I'd pulled the latest changes but most of the fixes were straightforward. A number of the partials had been updated, so I need to port my custom components to incorporate the changes. I also migrated...
I had a bunch of fun following along with this post with my own Hugo blog to construct a sqlite database of metadata. Building the database indices, I found a mistake I had made years ago in defining a post's alias, which was a duplicate, so I fixed that. I've read a lot of praise of sqlite lately...
Go introduced modules several years ago as part of a dependency management system. My Hugo site is still using git submodules to manage its theme. I attempted to migrate to Go's submodules but eventually ran into a snag when trying to deploy the site.
