• Help with CFCard adapter and 486 system BIOS 504MB limit...

• File size of C1 TIFFs

  I exported a bunch of 8-bit TIFFs from C1-21 today. The Finder reported them all around 92Mb (Sony A7r3 files). I tried to upload them to my site at format.com only to have half rejected for being "over 100Mb". Source: over 1 year ago

• When I send my site to people (Facebook, discord, whatever) this is the screencap and description people see. This image is nowhere on my site. My domain name is through google, and it isn't on google domains. Where is this likely cached and how do I reset it? Frankly, it is a boring image.

  I am using format.com. What sort of metadata should I be setting? Source: over 1 year ago

• I think web station made it so I can't connect via IP?

  I usually connect by quick connect, but my website host is coming to an end. It is currently on format.com, a photography site. I started to make a site in php, and rather than configure mamp, I thought I'd put my images on synology. Ever since installing web station, maria, phpmyadmin, I can't connect via 192.xx.xx.xx, only quick station. For a while I could connect by localip/phpmyadmin/index.php. Source: over 1 year ago

• Got an email from Thetypefounders regarding a font i'm using on my website, need advice

  I got an email from The Type Founders about a font that I'm using on my website, wich is made in format.com, using their available fonts. The email says I'm using a font on my website without license... I don't understand, I'm using one of the fonts that format lets you choose, so it would be more of a problem from format than from me right? I would like to get some help on this regard. Is this a normal situation... Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Best way for a Markdown based blog and eBook?

  Most static site generators will work to create a blog. I use pelican [1], which serves my needs. You will likely need to edit your blogposts a little bit before putting them in the book. So I recommend a separate program for that altogether. [1] https://getpelican.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 26 days ago

• Patterns for Personal Web Sites

  In my experience, [Pelican](https://getpelican.com/) does a good job of allowing you to edit themes on all pages at once with its static page generator. There are a lot of built in features designed more for blog-like websites, but I’ve found it pretty easy to make my personal website with it. - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

• How to host final project (flask web application) on permanent server?

  There's also Pelican but I haven't used it and seeing as Github serves static pages I'd imagine it builds and deploys your page and is done with it. Source: about 1 year ago

• Ask HN: Which Python or Rust-based static site generators to use as of 2023?

  I use Pelican (https://getpelican.com/) for my blog, which works decently for me. It is a static site generator written in Python. But you probably won't learn much Python by using it (or Rust when using a generator written in it) since you probably won't need to change anything in it. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• Creating a Python Wiki application

  Surely a "local private wiki ... Not web based ... On a desktop application" is not really a "wiki" at all, but rather a "static site generator" with a built-in "search". If that's what you want, there's a Python app called Pelican. Writing such an app from scratch isn't really a beginners project. Source: over 1 year ago
