@Mara @mrotteveel iirc they have a sign that that forbids bikes and scooters and then immediately below it it says that bikes are exempt or something like that

@Mara The only place I felt like lacked a bit of space to have both bikes and people in Delft was Barbarasteeg right behind that stop though it was fine most of the time. There is a No Bikes sign on the road though I am actually not sure if it includes normal bikes or only mopeds.

I do like Danish, but it is a rather funny language when it comes to how it is actually spoken, and I am sure danes sound as bad if not worse than dutch people when we speak with all the støds, vowels and such

@ma3ke I sometimes get the idea to use fltk for something since it has a interactive builder, okay good bindings for Rust and everything, but I have not yet found something to use it for.

@pollyglot I have not run it myself yet, but I have heard a bunch of good things about https://ergo.chat/ for the server.

For the client I personally use senpai (https://git.sr.ht/~delthas/senpai/) though if you rather want a more graphical there is halloy (halløj) https://halloy.chat/which is also quite nice.

(I use IRCv3 through the soju (https://soju.im/) bouncer)

@charlotte Yeah tbh the worst part of it was that I had to actually parse the html to get the json out (It still exist as a fallback: https://git.sr.ht/~erk/lasagna/tree/master/item/comic/src/lib.rs#L92)

I had to use a very limited amount of the json so it was fine. Though if you have a look at all the jsonld objects on the site it gets complicated see for example: https://www.gocomics.com/garfield/2026/08/30 and search for "ld+json" and you get 32 hits lol.

@charlotte at some point I had to parse Json-ld to get the URL for Garfield comics, it was rather bad

📝💝 but what a privilege it is to read your code

@bal4e That sounds pretty cool, I simply skipped over adding content to my atom feeds, but at some point I will probably have to get back to it.

Most of my current hacks are in the style file I use (https://git.sr.ht/~erk/hs/tree/main/item/posts/govuk.tpl)

I used to have some pretty bad ones with rewriting HTML after generation to add syntax highlighting, but that just works now. (https://erk.dev/2025/04/19/bureaucracy)

Typst is really nice to use for this because it is much more "programmable" than markdown and is in my opinion just much nicer to write in.

@bal4e Bundle mode was not really ready when I first got the idea to make this website so I never looked too much into that

@bal4e Mine is a odd mix of typst for content and rust for everything else, so my rss feed is generated from toml embedded as comments in the top of my content files.

Example post: https://git.sr.ht/~erk/hs/tree/main/item/posts/rangefrom-part-2.typ
Atom feed generation: https://git.sr.ht/~erk/hs/tree/main/item/src/posts.rs#L134
