Over the past few days, I procrastinated quite a bit instead of working on my thesis. I have this huge peaks of performance mixed with high procrastination. I guess this happens somewhat to most people. Either way, while procrastinating I added quite some new features to this website, and improved some already existing things, both visually and internally. Fixed the values in <title> which were wrong in some pages. I also changed the website name to be more descriptive. Fixed the truncation of text and the way I add the ellipsis when generating excerpts from longer posts to fit in the descriptions. Added image resizing on my media endpoint using ImgProxy, which I run locally in my VPS and then upload the resized images to bunny.net. Added Reddit integration in this website, both using Reddit’s API for upvotes (likes), comments (replies) and new posts. For the webmentions, I am using brid.gy. Added support for channels so I can hand pick which sections to put my posts when using Micropub clients. Added support for video posts, like this example. Added support for audio posts. I don’t have an example yet as this is a feature that I think I would more likely use for personal use. However, I am still on the fence on how to protect the media files. Right now I support private posts, but that’s it: the post itself cannot be accessed, but what’s the best way to protect the media? I also fixed some other things and make some slight visual updates to be more consistent.
