Gitea repository of Leilukin's Hub subsites

Decided to create remote repositories for my tumbleblog and fanlisting collective on 32-Bit Cafe's Gitea instance, so in case I lost my local repositories, I can still pull from a remote copy.

My tumbleblog's repository is public at https://git.32bit.cafe/Leilukin/leilukin-tumbleblog

However, my fanlisting collective repository is private, since it contains sensitive data such as passwords.

I have migrated my Mastodon accounts to the dragonscave.space instance.


Please stop begging Pokémon to give you scrap levels of queer representation

Every time when I see a Pokémon fan complain about The Pokémon Company or Game Freak being cowards for not making their favourite gay ship canon, I want to tell them: "Please stop begging for corporations and corporate franchises to give you scraps and instead play Cassette Beasts which has actual unambiguously canon LGBTQ+ characters, and you can choose to pursue a gay romance yourself too".


Eleventy Configuration File Organisation

Organised my Eleventy configuration files by splitting the code blocks for different purposes, including filters, shortcodes, markdown-it plugins, and so on, into their own files, then importing them into my main configuration file (eleventy.config.js).

My hobby websites' migration to Hostinger has finally completed.


Chyrp Lite's Twig Cache

Today I learned that Chyrp Lite has a cache folder for Twig in the includes/cache/twig directory for the blog theme. This explained why I kept failing to apply the changes I attempted to made to my custom Chyrp Lite theme. Turned out you need to clear out the cache in that directory to actually update the blog theme you edited.


Switched to Harmonoid

After finding out that Strawberry Music Player no longer provides free releases for its Windows version, I have switched to Harmonoid as my music library player. My experience with it has been decent so far.


Strawberry Music Player releases are no longer free of charge

Just found out that updates for the Windows version of Strawberry Music Player are now only available to sponsors. ☹️

From their home page:

Access to macOS and Windows releases are currently restricted to sponsors, a 5 USD monthly sponsorship is required. You can sponsor strawberry through Patreon for direct access to new releases. If you are sponsoring through GitHub, Ko-fi or PayPal, please e-mail support AT strawberrymusicplayer.org for access to the downloads URL on the left menu.

The reason macOS and Windows releases are closed to sponsors is because Strawberry have mainly had one contributor/developer over several years. Maintaining releases for macOS and Windows is a lot of additional work, and requires hardware and build environments, building and maintaing all libraries Strawberry depends on, and we also have to pay for a Apple developer account for signed macOS releases.

Oh well, guess I am going to look for another open-source music player on Windows for playing local music libaries.


Thank you CSS `overflow-x: clip`

Today's unexpected lifesaver for Leilukin's Hub is the CSS overflow-x: clip property, which turned out to be the solution to the unintended page overflow problem with the web pages that include both website buttons and tooltips when they are viewed on a narrow screen.


Thanks to 32-Bit Cafe's FreshRSS instance, I can finally sync my feed subscriptions across multiple devices, without spending money on an RSS subscription service.
