@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

@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 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

The conductor just walked through my train to tell people that they should sit down since the train could not start after it stopping a few hundred meters from the end station. I guess that is what happens when you take a IC4

@Mara Ahh that explains the additional 20 cents (it was 199.2)
Nice to see that you were able to lower it for everyone to that.

@Mara I was about to ask if it was lowered since the announcement/start of sale at RustWeek, but at least going by my invoice it was 199 then as well

This blog post is bit of a culmination about me thinking about `n..` ranges in Rust for way too long time.
It is about why I think the current semantics for the iterator are wrong.

@jyn This has for the past quite a few years been one of my big annoyances about git, every now and then I look at some historical commits and just gets a friends deadname shoved in my face which at least to me feels uncomfortable.
I think something like what you propose here would be good.
Maybe something like webfinger could also be used though then you bind yourself up on a domain.
