In this post, I will quickly share an “Aha!” moment with you.
I used to wrap my code in {% highlight %} and {% endhighlight %} tags like it’s explained in the documentation. But with more than a single code block on a page, this gets annoying quickly.
Turns out there is an easier way built into Jekyll.
In my previous post I’ve shared my notes on how to set up Debian 9 with Xfce. By default, Xfce looks a bit outdated to me and it can be tweaked to look a lot nicer. When I saw the Xfce desktops on reddit.com/r/unixporn/ I knew something had to be done.
This post contains my notes on how I set up my Xfce desktop on Debian. I guess it’s a good start if you want to customise yours.
Recently I decided to start using a GNU/Linux distribution as the main OS on my desktop instead of Windows 10 (why?).
I’ve tried various distributions, installation methods and window managers and finally found a setup that worked for me. In this post I’ll share my notes with you, so you can hopefully save some time and frustration.
By following the steps below, I’m able to set up a clean, error-free GNU/Linux environment in about 20-30 minutes.
There’s a lot of information on the Internet on how to create bootable media on OS X, and a lot of it doesn’t work. Don’t get tricked into buying special applications for this. Everything you need is already installed on your Mac.
The problem
Every time you make changes to URLs of a website, you risk messing up your hard earned Search Engine Optimization (SEO) scores. To eliminate 404 errors, it’s a best practise to forward old URLs with a 301 status code (moved permanently).
The approach above works great if you’re disciplined. But when making large changes to the URL structure of a website, an automated solution is needed.
This simple solution I’ve built has been working for a few years now.
