Looks like Jekyll has finally been abandoned for real. There are two spam issues being two and three weeks old, which have not been closed by the maintainers, and Jekyll is broken out-of-the-box when running on Ruby 4.0 for more than a month as well.
#jekyll
Tired of creating files and editing the front matter of the book pages on my Jekyll blog, I wrote a command-line tool to make updating my reading list at https://javier.computer/books much easier.
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.
Bore v0.58 released.
It's easier to cross-post from gopherhole to Jekyll.
Booked an #OpenBSD instance @OpenBSDAms in Dec and finally put it to use serving static #Jekyll pages. Setting up #Caddy and Let's Encrypt was refreshingly easy, and the OpenBSD FAQ helped with package management. The only real hurdle was serving content on port 80 and 443. I'm solving that with pf redirecting traffic to Caddy at the moment.
I've put on a fresh code of paint on my personal blog (https://batsov.com/) today. I've been using #Jekyll for ages and today I've switched from the Minimal Mistakes theme to Chirpy.
Normally I do such theme changes manually, but in line with the times I've opted to delegate the update to an AI agent. I have to give it to #ClaudeCode - it handled theme update quite well overall and it even fixed some inconsistent tags I had used over the years.
I've recently gotten hooked to the Gemini protocol. This obsession came about after I learned about the Tildeverse over XMPP, registered for tilde.pink, and started playing with the public_gemini directory. If you can write basic Markdown, you can write Gemtext with minimal differences. It is really easy to create a capsule (webpage) from nothing. As such, I loved it except for one small nitpick.
I am really used to using scripts for fun behaviour. For example, on my own webpage, I usually greet newcomers using their time of day instead of simple greetings like "good to see you" or "hello". I don't have a clue why I prefer this other than "it's funny". However, Gemini doesn't provide any means of scripting in their spec. As such, you cannot script Gemini capsules on most Gemini servers, including gmid which is used by tilde.pink.
I was thinking of solutions for this, and I concluded that I should probably look into templating and scheduled builds for this task. My reasoning for this is that it provides the illusion of scripted behaviour while remaining statically built for the small web. This could also be used in many Gemini servers as it creates Gemtext files from templates. This would make Gemini scriptable while retaining it's purpose.
I'm planning to design this in Ruby, mostly as an influence from Jekyll. If anyone wants to talk about it more with me, please let me know, as I am open to ideas. I also plan to write a post about the Tildeverse when I'm well rested. More specifically, about my thoughts regarding the community.

For all you #jekyll and #hugo users, a question: Did you consider #pelican (https://getpelican.com/).
If not, why not?
If you did, why did you not choose it?
#jekyll is so cool.
I can’t believe it’s 2026 and I use FTP to host my blog.
I've added a new page to my personal website, where I recommend interesting things I've read, played, watched, and listened to. I talk about that a bit in this post, and also show you how you can use YAML to make your life easier when working with large amounts of data!

r6d8: Nach nem Lychee-URL-Check und der Migration von meinem lab-of-labs nach #codeberg waren alle 57 Links wieder ok. Danach hab ich mein #github #jekyll-script auf marked.min.js umgestellt. Somit entfällt der md -> html Build Step. Angenehm.
Mal schauen wie sich der #OpenGraph Header nun anfühlt.
[ES] Desde hace 10 años, desde su fundación, formo parte de la cooperativa tecnológica Tierra Común (https://tierracomun.org). Trabajamos principalmente con organizaciones defensoras de #DerechosHumanos, activistas y periodistas. Desde la cooperativa instalamos y gestionamos infraestructura digital —firewalls, servidores y puntos de acceso—, además de brindar capacitaciones y acompañamiento en #SeguridadDigital y Autocuidado Digital.
También desarrollamos sitios web, varios de ellos estáticos con #Jekyll, y brindamos soporte técnico especializado. Este trabajo ha sido posible gracias al esfuerzo y la dedicación de mis colegas, así como a la confianza de las organizaciones, fundaciones y financiadoras que han acompañado y sostenido nuestro trabajo.
For this interested in knowledge graph things, this is all currently custom on my site. Screenshot is a zoom-in of the notes graph explorer, with a Jobs Below the API collection page I put together.
OK, I give up*. This "Liquid in Jekyll on GH Pages" is just too fragile. 😒
*for today. I hope things are (magically) better tomorrow.
