Well, this was a little unusual.

I happened to be walking past the door, and saw a dark shape through the textured glass.
On opening this door, was presented with Mr Turtle who was not trying sell something, and obviously lost. We live about a mile from a natural waterway, so figured a child has taken the poor thing from it's home.
I caught him with a towel and transported him in an esky back to the water. On release, he or she absolutely bounded into the water - no time even for a thank you.

I added a town square to my site. Try it, it's fun!

We have the incubator setup incubating a dozen eggs, including the last 2 our hen that was caught by the fox layed.

Expect regular updates. 🐣

@brunogirin I do not know in how much detail you wish to learn about IPv6, but I'm a fan of @mwl's "Networking for System Administrators".

Chapter 4 is a primer - short, but to the point, and practical - on IPv6.

After troubleshooting all day, I got the IRC of folk.zone online!

You can use the web client at https://irc.folk.zone or connect with your own app/client with this info:

Server: irc-direct.folk.zone
Port: 6697 (TLS required)
Certificate: Let's Encrypt (trusted by default)
Channel: #general

The web client works great for quick access, or use your favorite IRC client like Halloy, Senpai, or Weechat. No manual certificate acceptance needed since we're using Let's Encrypt now!

@serapath oh I see what you mean now. I'll build something that does this in the next few months

@serapath I am also providing documentation on the wiki for how people can do this themselves, as I wrote in the original post.

@serapath @stefan that is what I'm doing. You can see the machines being used for this on the site itself.

@_aD Quite!

@michael Quite plausibly.

@stefano @pugmiester

Hmm... I can see that working for relative links.

But if I had a post, which I want to be shown on site a.example.com and b.example.com, with content

```
I run two blogs, [a.example.com](https://a.example.com) and [b.example.com](https://b.example.com).
```

I would not want a sed routine to change either, in terms of global find and replace!

@stefano @pugmiester

I wonder about the ability to ability to specify different domains, and then the filepath for the directories relating to each domain, in the same config file.

The script builds for each different domain name, outputting to the relevant directories.

Perhaps

I am sad to see that vmst.io is shutting down, especially on such short notice, understandable though that is.

The pressures of running an instance for other people, particularly beyond a small group of friends, are considerable and increasing.

@pugmiester @stefano

> Do you use a single set of markdown files and a separate config file for each site build?

Yes, exactly.

@fishidwardrobe Now that is a wonderfully obscure connection - bravo!

@laurel thank you! let me know which services you're interested in and I'll get you set up! :prami:

@Gina we're thinking Matilda - Tilly for short.
