The website just migrated to the Zola SSG because I felt wrong that my website, which idealistically do not uses any JavaScript, actually uses JavaScript on the server. It maybe makes sense to tightly integrate the frontend and backend with one language and type safety, but not really when it's only backend.

Now it's on Rust, and the builds are 20x faster. Tbh, build time doesn't actually matter that much to me, and if I won't be able to do something critical with that tool, I may migrate back to 11ty - it's still an excellent ssg.

I also moved from yaml frontmatter to toml and enabled html and css minification without obfuscation. It's probably not going to change much, but why not?

Hopefully you haven't noticed anything at all.

And to anyone following the RSS feed: sorry if the whole site suddenly reappeared after the migration. I accidentally changed how feed IDs were sluggified. That should already be fixed.

The main downside JavaScript-based SSG js is that GitHub Dependabot constantly screams at you about some random high or critical vulnurabilties in dependencies

I recently watched Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. I randomly watched this yt vid Scientifically Proving The Funniest Movie Of All Time where he tries to prove that Kung Pow is the funniest movie of all time.

I liked the story about the production of that movie - It is somewhere between vandalism and true art. Steve Oedekerk bought the rights to a random 1976 Hong Kong martial arts film, Tiger & Crane Fists, digitally inserted himself into the footage, rewrote the story into absurd nonsense, dubbed himself over most of the characters, and built an entirely new movie from pieces of the original.

It is absolutely a B-movie - maybe even something worse. A bizarre hybrid of cheap 70s martial arts cinema and cheap early-2000s CGI. Still it was a pretty fun and comfortable movie to watch, laugh and then continue your life - and that's a good thing. 7/10

Hi, marginalia!

Here I'll be writing small and stupid things because sometimes I want to share something without opening my desktop editor or thinking too much about it.

Enjoy!
