Just yesterday I've been flashing Raspberry OS to a micro SD card. Not succeeding with Balena Etcher, I opted to use the RPi imager tool, which did work (which might be an issue not in any way related). After that I added the `ssh` file to the boot partition and tried connecting to it via SSH. Providing username pi and password raspberry, connecting fails with invalid password, no matter how many times I tried. Searching all over the internet for whether the password was different nowadays, but coming up with zip, frustrated, I went to bed.
Reading this today it hits me that this change might just be the cause.
If that turns out to be the case, there should really be some indication in the RPi imager tool.
There are/were issues with using the rpi-imager [1] under Windows, which would result in the configuration information not being written to the memory card. They claimed to have fixed it, but it never worked for me.
Instead, I downloaded a live Linux dist, kde-neon [2], wrote that to a USB stick with rufus [3], booted my PC with that, and imaged under Linux. Only then did it work.
Very recognizable. I've used Hugo for exactly one website, as a first introduction to static site generators. The site still runs, and if I need to change something running the `hugo` CLI still works. But it wasn't easy to get started, with all these new concepts, and this site explains clearly the trouble I had.
Perhaps it's expected that when you use Hugo, you already recognize most concepts from other static site generators?
No, even with past static site generator experience, it can still be a struggle.
I had extremely extensive experience with Movable Type, which was a once-hugely-popular blogging platform / CMS / static site generator. And by "extremely extensive", I mean I worked for the company that made the software, in their Services org which built Movable Type-driven sites for major media partners.
Despite this, and also already having Golang html/template experience, Hugo's docs and concepts were still very difficult for me to learn!
Almost off-topic, but I continue to be mildly surprised that there's so few "modern" blogging platform/site generators that use Movable Type's model: a full user-friendly publishing/admin back end, backed by a database rather than flat files, but still basically generating static files for output. The SSGs that Jekyll arguably led the rise of have still largely stayed in the realm of developer tooling -- edit a directory of flat files and do testing, building and deployment from the command line. There's a few PHP-based systems out there that buck this trend, but they seem to mostly be commercial products pitched at small web design firms (e.g., Kirby, Statamic, Craft).
One of the big reasons I lean toward static sites for my stuff is that you can host them out of an S3 bucket or similar with no dynamic endpoints whatsoever. This is a huge win for security for projects that I don't have time to keep constantly updating. A web-based admin backend largely eliminates that value unless it's run off a separate port that I can firewall, and even then I have to be sure I firewalled it correctly.
There is a space that I'd like to explore, though, and that's having a static site generator that is built into a desktop-based GUI. My dream is to get the brain-dead security of an SSG without having to fiddle about with files and folder structures.
Lektor, a Python-based SSG that I've used in the past, actually had a self-contained Mac app for a while that was maybe 75% of the way toward that. (IIRC, the app didn't let you edit templates and most site-level configuration; the idea was more that you got things set up in a more programmer-nerd way first and then used the app for site maintenance/deployment.) Unfortunately, the app broke a few years back and nobody left developing Lektor seems motivated to fix it.
I've seen one other SSG that has an app, Publii, but I've never used it. My impression is that it wasn't as full-featured as Lektor, which could be made to do a lot of neat things. Although if Publii's app still works, that's one big thing Lektor doesn't have, so... :P
Using YouTube only via Firefox with the uBlock Origin plugin works pretty well too. The simple solution without requiring any additional apps. Firefox has its own quirks which are discussed on Hacker News at length, but it's good enough.
Actually, I've considered installing an older version of Firefox and disabling updates. But I feel that might pose security risks, and if at some point there's a novel virus requiring updating, I'm afraid the shock might be too big, as compared to a little shock every few months. Still considering what's wise here...
There's a major browser zero-day being used in the wild requiring immediate browser update basically every week it seems like.
Stay up to date or use the browser in a very safe environment in a way which does not have access to or use any of your personal information including accounts/passwords/etc.
Since a few months, firefox by default doesn't switch from incognito back to normal mode when I close the only remaining incognito tab. Can probably be attributed to increased privacy, I suppose, encouraging the use of incognito mode. But there's no setting to change that back. Over time, more of these minor annoyances appear which I'd need to dig in my memory for. Luckily, it's a relatively small price to pay, overall I'm just happy to have adblocking in the browser.
> A DZI has two parts: a DZI file (with either a .dzi or .xml extension) and a subdirectory of image folders. Each folder in the image subdirectory is labeled with its level of resolution. Higher numbers correspond to a higher resolution level;[6] inside each folder are the image tiles corresponding to that level of resolution, numbered consecutively in columns from top left to bottom right.
For anyone not interested in clicking on clickbait, it's a rug with a pentagram pattern, positioned in "homey" situations, e.g. with a baby on top of it.
I agree, ublock origin was my single most important reason to finally switch from chrome mobile to firefox mobile.
There are some quirks though, minor annoyances that every so often get introduced in updates. For example, when closing the last private browsing tab it doesn't automatically show the regular tabs any more, but instead requires three more taps. But I'm happy to ignore those for the sole reason of having fully functional ad-blocking.
