Hello, sentient being who has disabled JavaScript/is using LibreJS!

This site uses as little JavaScript as I can get away with, but it does require JS to:

render mathematics; for this purpose I use KaTeX, which is freely licensed (and partially trans-made! 🏳️‍🌈)
slightly extend Hugo's highlight shortcode to show filenames in code listings. (The actual syntax highlighting is done server-side.)

This site validates under LibreJS as of 6 September 2022. If you find otherwise, please contact me.

Snot and fonts

Written as post seven of #100DaysToOffload.

Lately I’ve been irritated trying to find a decent font to serve with my webpage, because I spend a lot of time fucking with it and I want it to look nice.

Then I reread Designed to Last. And in particular:

Your focus should be about delivering the content to the user effectively and making the choice of font be invisible, rather than getting noticed to stroke your design ego.

So I gave up and got away with using a hopefully tasteful system-font stack. It’s mine. I’m happy with it.
