I made a couple of updates to this site this weekend. Mainly some behind the scenes things to update Hanami to 2.1.0rc2 and to bring some of the core pieces in line with what will be generated when 2.1.0 ships! A couple of highlights:

• Moving to Hanami's asset structure — and finally ditching my homemade manifest management & hashing steps
• Add in a proper authentication system— The HTTP basic auth system I had in place kept logging me out in Safari as of iOS17 / macOS Sonoma, so now I have a proper session-based thing in place
• Remove the checked-in markdown pages I had previously, in favour of pages stored in the database - Moved the "micropub" specific actions, commands, and routes out to their own slice — now the main app just reads the various kinds of posts and displays them.

I've been preparing my dotfiles in anticipation of moving to a new M-series laptop in the next little while. My current intel machine has served me well, but after getting to use an M1 Pro for actual work (and not just poking around at the Apple store), an upgrade makes total sense. - It's been about 1,000,000 degrees here over the last few days (well, close to 30), and it's not super pleasant. The dryness has wreaked havoc on the garden, and has made the bindies come out, which means the dogs' feet are full of prickles that need to be carefully picked out. - I've been reading Berserk on my iPad, and going from a physical paper book, to a swipes-PDF is a massive step down. I don't mind reading regular, non-graphic, novels on an iPad, but not having a nice way to zoom in on each panel (and not be locked in to a zoomed in view) makes it tricky to appreciate some of the more complex panels. So I am currently on the look out for someone trying to offload their collection on gumtree (as our local library doesn't seem to carry them) 🤞🏽
