Never mind, I thought you could #selfhost micro.blog. Apparently not. I don't do business with American companies when I could host myself. So they're out.

@fastfinge Hugo.io

@MostlyBlindGamer It's static, so it can't federate.

@MostlyBlindGamer That requires both Google Firebase and something called versal that I've never heard of and can't host myself. If I'm doing business with big american tech I might as well just use micro.blog directly.

@fastfinge ah, yeah…

@MostlyBlindGamer Oh my God I'm so glad I didn't try to build an entire thing in hugo by myself. I find hugo utterly, utterly baffling and incomprehensible. I've spent like four hours trying to figure out how to get this shortcode to paginate...or at least only display 50 books or something...and not dump 500 book links on the page where I put it. It might actually be impossible. Google Gemini fixed the bookmarks shortcode, but I just copied the magic letters. I have no idea why that worked. Or why it won't work for this shortcode. github.com/kottkrig/microdotblog-bookshelf-shortcode/

@fastfinge there’s a recent breaking change in pagination that LLMs won’t know about. I handle those myself when my pipelines break and that’s how I understand how things work.

Mind you, this might be a totally different issue. My main point is the software is in active development. If you don’t want to keep up with it when things break - which is fair and understandable - it may not be the best fit. I assumed you were looking for the same kind of hint instability I am.
