@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh yeah, ruby on rails also requires a server that can run custom code, so that's probably a no-go if you are trying to host on github
but if that's fine, it's actually what mastodon was written in: https://rubyonrails.org/
and here's jekyll's homepage, made with jekyll: https://jekyllrb.com/
github has builtin support for this: https://help.github.com/en/github/working-with-github-pages/setting-up-a-github-pages-site-with-jekyll
@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz it sounds like they were talking about 1 of 2 things:
1) ruby on rails: a crazy-big framework for making web applications extremely fast (for an idea about how fast, the "hello world" tutorial is making a blog from scratch)
2) jekyll: a static site generator built into github for making blogs and other things really fast by mostly just editing simple markdown files
seeing that your site is a github site, i would probably look at the latter. (it's actually what i use for my site~)

@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz that's why it's good for chores actually!
i think that's why i always listen to them when doing idle stuff, because it means that my focus stays on them implicitly
@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz i can definitely confirm that last part
i can't actually find other times to listen to them where i don't feel like i should be doing something else, hahah
but gosh, they really make monotonous and boring tasks bearable for me!
as for podcasts, i personally recommend the adventure zone. it takes a little to get into, but it's legit one of the best things i've ever heard!
@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz yays!
@monorail ah yes, the anxiety test
@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz sorry for the inadvertent rabbit hole i've inflicted on you ^^'

not everything has to be fast. not everything has to be efficient.
write in a language that sparks joy. don't want to figure out a clever algorithm? don't. your program is eating ram like a motherfucker but it gets the job done? that's okay
you don't understand recursion? don't use recursion. you don't understand how to manually allocate memory? don't use a language that makes you do that
there's time to learn all of that. or don't! people have worked hard to make it so you don't have to!
just make things
@monorail holly, there's something i need to tell you
i'm pokemon
@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh, yay!
@ctrlaltdog@chitter.xyz oh! if that's why you like it, i found podcasts were actually *extremely* good at this
i slept on them for a looong time, but i found that, since they take more attention than music, and don't fade into the background while you're doing things, you can basically forget you're doing chores while listening to them
it's pretty much the only way i do them now, and sometimes i actually proactively do chores because i wanna listen to a podcast to find out what happens
@nolan fair enough~
i double-took because i didn't even realize you could do that, and was curious if there was a reason i should try doing that, since it wasn't immediately apparent hahah
but yeah! habits and aesthetics are important too! that's neat
@nolan i noticed this a few minutes ago and now i'm kinda curious!
you pull-request to yourself in your projects..?
@noiob i kinda figured that a lot of it was update maintenance, so i guess it's not super surprising that a major version would take a lot of extra effort :T
i know i already said this but, for reals, good luck! i really appreciate all the effort you put into this..! (seriously, thank you!) ^^
@noiob ah! i remember them mentioning custom code when i first joined, but i didn't know that was one of the things they made
that's neat
@noiob i didn't even realize the allowlist was custom, huh!
@noiob oh! good luck!!
i noticed the new repo a while ago, but i thought that was just basically a rename--i didn't realize you were going in deep
@noiob "workspace: mastodon"
brain stuff (+++)
i had a doctor's appointment today to ask about the sort of things i could do about the extreme measures i need to take to get over my inertia and actually *do* anything productive, because it turns out that's not typical at all
so, he gave me a trial of an adhd medication to take this morning, and now that it's the end of the day i can conclusively say: holy shit
i didn't feel even a *little* bad about starting to do things! is this what it's like to have normal motivation??
