• EZ Question: Image Files in Obsidian Vault

  I'm cooking up a really cheap publishing solution using Pico CMS ("stupidly simple") and rsync or something from my Obsidian Vault to my PHP server. Source: 9 months ago

• How to Start Your Blog in 2023

  I'm using https://picocms.org/. It is PHP based, works on a cheap limited web hoster. The concept is: Upload a markdown file plus associated media, and it does the rest for you. For customisation, you can use Twig and CSS, or a predefined theme (I didn't look into these, I wanted a custom appearance). For feeds there are plugins, for comments I use a "mail me at post023@mydomain.url" approach. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Les Pas 2.6.0, Photo blogging

  Ever since version 2.0, Les Pas has been able to share albums with other Nextcloud users, you can even co-edit the same album with others if you publish the album as 'Joint Album'. But how about people not in your Nextcloud server, like those friends who attended your wedding? Create temporary guest accounts for them is just not feasible. Photo blog is here to help! And luckily, we have Pico, the stupidly simple &... Source: over 1 year ago

• Easiest static site generator

  You can try Pico CMS. But if you have the time, try Hugo. The latter has a learning curve, and the docs are frustratingly non-beginner friendly, but once you get the basics, there is no going back! Source: over 1 year ago

• Ask HN: What do you think about a subscription based social media?

  Oh, TIL about https://mastodon.social/ (https://joinmastodon.org/) Looks like what you describe, doesn't it? > Social networking that's not for sale. - Source: Hacker News / 3 days ago

• AltStore. The first Apple approved alternative App Store

  Getting some Qs about Delta availability, hope this clarifies things! • Delta is exclusive to AltStore in EU • Because of Apple’s new dev terms, all downloads in EU cost us €0.50/yr in AltStore PAL and App Store…so couldn’t offer Delta in EU App Stores without making it paid • App Store only supports one-time paid-upfront apps, so we’d have to pick a price that could support ~years of CTFs • PAL’s €1.50... - Source: Hacker News / 9 days ago

• AltStore PAL, the first alternative app marketplace on iPhone, is available now

  Offtopic: a while ago the mastodon web interface changed so you had to enable javascript to see anything. I stopped reading mastodon links. I've just noticed that the server will cough up the post if you add "/embed" to the url.

• IGBA: GBA and GBC Retro Emulator on Apple App Store

  Message from iGBA creator: https://mastodon.social/@rileytestut/112268412745806214 > So apparently Apple approved a knock-off of GBA4iOS — the predecessor to @delta I made in high school — in the App Store. I did not give anyone permission to do this, yet it’s now sitting at the top of the charts (despite being filled with ads + tracking) >I’ve bit my tongue a bunch in the past month…but this really frustrates me.... - Source: Hacker News / 16 days ago
