:globe_with_meridians: Jekyll is a blog-aware static site generator in Ruby

Project mention: Recovering My Blog with Jekyll and Proxmox | dev.to | 2024-05-29

Today I decided to try and update the Jekyll theme for this site, Chirpy. If you've watched the blog or gone to this blog's status page you probably noticed it was down for a few hours today. Needless to say, things didn't go as planned. It turns out that the last time I tried to update/recreate the blog site I chose the Chirpy Starter option instead of the Github Fork option, and in trying to update it the whole thing went sideways. No problem I'd just restore from the backup/snapshot in Proxmox, which also failed and destroyed the LXC, great!

Project mention: “Make” as a Static Site Generator | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-09-10

Most of the Static Site Generators default to generating blog from markdown, which is not feasible for company websites etc. For such projects I like Middleman (https://middlemanapp.com) which provides layouts/partials and things like haml templates.
