Fuck Github, homies be authenticating with Codeberg! I've added Codeberg as an additional authentication provider to the comment section (which uses Remark42) on my website. Also a small little #diday #dut thing for #100DaysToOffload post #14!

I've been twiddling with my blog. It's written in #Jekyll which feels like a slightly arcane choice, but I have done some important housekeeping to make it easier to post to. First of all, added a templates folder and now draft my posts in Obsidian, with a New Post template. I've also added a Jekyll-ignored Tools folder with a bunch of Obsidian databases in it so I can get a nice overview of drafts, published posts, pages, etc. There's a template for a certain kind of post format as well I plan to do on a semi-regular basis, so that should be helpful too.
The last and most important thing I've done is started documentation in the README.md so that if I drop this thing for six months and pick it up again, I can minimise the time spent scratching my head trying to remember how any of it works. The automated git push -> shows up online part in particular is a bit magical without some docs to follow if I need to fix or iterate on it.
Currently working on a branch of said repo trying to get a decent self-hosted commenting platform working. Tried #Remark42 but couldn't get it to work with my self-hosted OIDC provider, and all the documented options were enshittificatory/problematic US platforms. Trying #Isso next instead.
All this effort for, let's face it, 2 or 3 comments a year, MAX. But still. -

Letting the cool people know (you!) I brought back from death my old BLOG (more or less) >> https://madriguera.me/
self-hosted using #ghost and #remark42 for the comments, no ads, no tracking, only fun and weird things!
missing to auto-toot when a new post is published, anyone got a plugin for that?

okay theming #remark42 docker was easier as i thought. find color codes, replace them in css file, build new docker image. done.
so finally remark is also painted in #catppuccin

thankfully @paraskcd helped me to automate the theme changing of remark42. now just smaller style adjustments over the next days until its nicely implemented.

6 months ago I ditched the evil #Disqus for #Remark42, and I couldn't be happier about it. 💬
The story of how I did it is here:

Oh FFS. I finally figured out what I was doing wrong. Misunderstanding the ports setting. Now that I am clear on how that works, it works just fine. Finally got the #remark42 docker image running and I can login using github, but I think it might be having a problem writing to the external directory. So now I have that to troubleshoot. Running with the binary seems so much more straightforward. I feel like I have nothing but issues trying to use docker images.

I always have to try and remember to check recent activity on a project before jumping in and trying to play around with it. After fumbling around with #mouthful comments for a few days, I noticed the last time there was activity in the git repo was almost 3 years ago. Which might explain some of the issues I was running into. Found #remark42 and started trying that instead. Had very little trouble getting it up and running to start testing it out.
