Random things I learned while working on this site

You can use Emmet shorthand even when writing in Markdown syntax#
For some reasons I donโt fully understand, Emmet specifically disabled HTML expansion when you are in a markdown file.
Going to VSCode Settings, and overwrite emmet.excludeLanguages and emmet.includeLanguages to re-enable the power to efficiently write HTML within Markdown doc.
There are tools to generate timestamps for any chosen format#
Zola prefer the timestamp to be in RFC3339?
No problem, there is a VSCode extensions for that: Unix Time Converter gives you the right commands.
For a quick alternative to git credential helper, use ~/.netrc#
Obviously not a replacement for credential manager, but ~/.netrc is capable of storing personal access token for GitHub repo authentication.
Its syntax is something like:
machine github.com login <login-id> password <token-password>
Web-rings are still a thing in 2023#
One of our dreams lost in the dot-com bubbles was webring, a site that connects like-minded random websites together. It was arguably a form of yellow pages, which is in turn aโฆ I digressed.
Knowing that sites like Indie Webring ๐ธ๐ exists put a smile on my face. Thatโs the spirit of indie web, long live the nicer part of Web 1.0!
