#Jekyll with the #AsciiDoctor plugin looks pretty decent as an option (the plugin is also well-integrated), but Jekyll seems to be a bit restrictive on the site structure, and anybody who has perused my website
probably knows by now that aside from the crappy CSS it also fully leverages the power of #ikiwiki's inline directive for nested awesomeness*.
*debatable
So hm should I rewrite Ikiwiki in #Ruby?

I'm going to have to write my own #AsciiDoctor-based static site generator, right?
I still haven't found anything that fits my use case, coming from #ikiwiki, which I want to leave because it's slow, written in Perl (not my favorite language) and doesn't integrate well with AsciiDoctor.
#Antora manages to both be overengineered for my use case *and* miss essential features like feed generation. Also node.js, no thanks

Happy May Day!
Presenting Taotech: https://taote.ch/ which I am working to establish as a not-for-profit: "Tending spaces where life happens so solidarity can emerge."
The website is also a Git repo, the software is a combo of #ikiwiki and #Forgejo.
Taotech aspires to be a spiritual successor to TAO communications and London Commons that will tend spaces both physical and online.

From my recent conversation with @trwnh (<https://mastodon.social/@trwnh/113377796235320764>) I'm getting the impression that if I managed to create a well-integrated #AsciiDoctor-centered blogging system to replace my #Ikiwiki setup I wouldn't be the only one using it. And I don't even mind #Ruby as a programming language. Now if I only had a few extra 24 hours in the day, I could even get to it.

I just realized that I need a better way to manage tag case in my #ikiwiki setup (unless I move to something different first).

I'm trying to study how #Hugo works to see if it's a good candidate for switching over from #IkiWiki, and the first thing I learn from the quick start guide is that #PowerShell and #WindowsPowerShell are different applications. Way to go, #Microsoft.

Some technical notes on trying to bring #IkiWiki to the modern web, kicking and screaming.

I've finally made a template in my #ikiwiki-based website to wrap images in a proper, “semantic” #HTML5 #figure element without having to write too much raw #HTML. I'm now going over all the existing img directives to convert them. The template is designed to be mostly compatible with the img directive to lessen my work, but I'm taking advantage of the review to redo most of my al texts so make them more descriptive and meaningful.
It's a lot of work, but nobody is going to do it for me.

I'm going to try my hand at adding support for the lang attribute to the heavily modified version of #Ikiwiki I use for my website. Wish me luck.

This isn't strictly necessary (#ikiwiki, which I currently use as static site builder, has the concept of “underlay” that can be used to fetch site contents from outside the repository), and would allow me to keep the *repository* lightweight (more so than the website at least). Tracking the images in the repository has the advantage of keeping everything together, and encourages for images the same “content to bytes” maximization that has driven my text usage.

Can someone explain to me how exaxtly @radicle is involved with #cryptocurrency and if one can opt out of this?
Other than that, #Radicle sounds pretty rad: decentralized code forge, you store your issues etc. locally, basically a more modern #Ikiwiki (?)

Non tanto diaria: sui perché e percome degli aggiornamenti del Wok. Ovvero, perché dovrei scrivere di piú sul Wok, o almeno riportarvi tutto quello che metto su #Mastodon

Another annoying thing of #ikiwiki: tag links don't have a special class, so they can't be styled differently. Also all internal linking features don't offer a way to set the link title.

Oh boy I seriously need to move on from #Ikiwiki, but I'm seriously _not_ looking forward to the amount of work that would entail and I haven't even decided what to move _to_.

Picking a toot: a short write-up on adding “Share to #Mastodon” links to the Wok via #tootpick
(This is also my first test to see if it works, and it seems to work so far.)

I _really_ need to convert my site to something better than #ikiwiki, that's the truth. I'm really leaning towards #jekyll with the #asciidoctor plugin, but I conversion is going to take SO much time … really not looking forward to that.

I'm working to add #Tootpick
https://github.com/Juerd/tootpick
to my website, which is statically built. I need some way to add a Tootpick link to each permalink, and I want to do it client-side via JavaScript (Tootpick needs JS anyway). So I need to add this JS to all the webpages, and I'm having #choiceParalysis on how to do it. Modify the base page template, or add a builder setup option?(TBF, this is partially the fault of my builder, #ikiwiki, which isn't really friendly on this side of things).

Did you know that every week a new zip file containing an offline version of the permacomputing wiki is automagically generated to facilitate access from your comfy off the grid cabin in the woods?
https://permacomputing.net/cloning/
ikiwiki local html files do not play super nicely with browsers though, so I had to massage them a bit.

So, my main website is currently based on #ikiwiki. I like it because it's #plainText (no #database), I can work on it on my laptop using my favorite tools (#vim, #git), preview it locally, and then “deploy” it to a static set of HTML on the hosting machine. But there are a couple of things I do not like about my current setup. Chiefly:
1. I've matured a preference for #asciidoctor over #markdown
2. there is, AFAICS, no chance it'll ever federate w/ #ActivityPub
