Just a he/him guy who likes to build cool things and share them with others.
I know a little about a lot of things, but I've spent most of my career automating things and building systems. Currently I spend most of my time automating things with Python and testing things with the Robot Framework.
I promise I'm much more fun than what I just said.

Yes, you _can_ have an interactive search feature on your static site! No need for servers or paid subscriptions here. Thanks to the open source Lunr and the power of Hugo static site generator, you can create a client-side search index with just a template and some JavaScript.
A number of my readers have been kind enough to tell me that you find my blog useful, but thereโs something that you donโt know. Up until I recently implemented a search feature onโฆ https://victoria.dev/blog/add-search-to-hugo-static-sites-with-lunr/

The result of Google restricting their services to particular user-agents and builds.
Are standards really standards if you only let yourself (and maybe one friend) participate?

This was my first time trying to create a mount using a tea cup. I can't believe it worked.

Hello Mastodon !
I'm a web developer with 5 years of experience and I'm looking to monetize my skills outside my day job! I'm already trying on Code mentor but there is a lot of competition, if you are looking for someone or you know somebody that is looking for some help on a programming project, tell me ! There is a great chance I can help you ๐
One cruddy thing about MS Teams is that it can take weeks or longer to push through a profile update.
Which is no big deal when you change you profile pic from Squidward to Dipper.
But when someone changes gender and name, you're forced to deadname them , even though IT's done their job. So that sucks.
I have a favor to ask.
My 10-year-old daughter is obsessed with #Pokemon and talks about them day and night. No one else in my family can really talk shop much, so I'm looking for a group of kids she can talk to about this stuff.
I checked and our library doesn't have a club, real or virtual, and I couldn't find any meetups.
Is there less local group that people like that's good for kids? A forum or Discord channel would also work.
P. S. I live in a western Chicago Suburb. Thank you advance!

I wrote a small blog post, talking about my journey trying to get and use a emoji domain: https://dysphoric.dev/post/show/9/Emoji_domains__A_cautionary_tale
Lets see what my next small side project will be.
I created my first web store using #WooCommerce last weekend and I'm very impressed. It includes a ton of very slick features for free and the ecosystem is very rich.
