Been testing some #11ty 3 beta stuff out today - mainly the image bits (and looks like I may have some work to sort out what i would like it to do) but one thing that got me was for my news page https://www.simoncox.com/news/ I am pulling in the content with {{ post.data.content | safe }} but that does not work in 3 - but {{ post.content | safe }} does though.

Ouch - thats going to hurt their organic visibility in search - nearly 50% of their backlinks are to the http. Shoddy!

Yeah they are expensive - I have the Caldigit TS3 and it was worth the money! Sounds like you grabbed a bargin!

I have conveniently tucked news type feeds int a News list on mastodon with their own column in the advanced view and, importantly, in the list settings have set them not to appear in my Home feed. I can now dip into that when i need news and leave Home to the more esoteric and whimsical.

Has been high on the wish list for some time for me - not sure it's climbed any higher with the colour though!

Back home now after an excellent board gaming weekend.
Games played:
- Senjutsu: Battle For Japan
- Crokinole x2
- Scythe: The Rise of Fenris (game 3)
- Café
- Catch the Moon
- Snapps
- Hey, That's My Fish!
- The Climbers
- Flamme Rouge x2 (ongoing tour)
- The Red Cathedral
- Village Rails
- Expedition: Northwest Passage HMS Terror Edition
Red Cathedral was new to me and very good. The Flamme Rouge Grand Tour we are playing started in 2019 and a favourite!

I always fire up Foreplay/Long Time by Boston every time I wade into the 11ty docs.

Wix is dropping AMP from 1st August.
No surprise really.

I'm giving Front Matter CMS another spin on my personal #11ty site. Used it last year and it was very good but ultimately I somehow messed it up and took it out. Been quite a few updates since then so time to strap in!

Really like this css technique and its fall back by @npub16zw…tamu
(Tried it in three browsers before I realised how it actually is meant to look - worked in Chrome for me but not FF or, surprisingly, Vivaldi).

A couple of weekends ago I built a log store. I actually wrote about it, for a change!
