If you want to have a static prefix in front of all pages/notes in your Obsidian digital garden, just add a Javascript file to your Git repository at src/site/_data/metadata.js. In there you can define the prefix (in my case 'Björn Stierand - ') as seen in the code below. mo...

To add static HTML sites (i.e. notes which are not in your Obsidian vault) to your digital garden, create a directory in the Git repository of your garden under src/site (e.g. src/site/components). Place your static HTML sites there using the suffix .html.

Afterwards, change .eleventy.js in the root directory so the templateFormats directive also includes html.

  [..]
  
  return {
    dir: {
      input: "src/site",
      output: "dist",
      data: `_data`,
    },
    templateFormats: ["njk", "html", "md", "11ty.js"],
    htmlTemplateEngine: "njk",
    markdownTemplateEngine: false,
    passthroughFileCopy: true,
  };

After the next Eleventy run (either triggered by deploying a note from within 4-Archive/Obsidian Setup/Obsidian or from the hosting provider, e.g. Vercel), the static site will be available at https://your-domain/components/html-file-name.

Just Listening vs. Retaining Information I used to use Pocket Casts for ages. According to the stats feature in the app, I started using it in March 2015 and listened to 147 days(!) of podcasts up until 2024. However, I then realized that I just listen. I usually don't take ...

This site is a digital garden. There is no 'stream' of regular updates on this site, neither are there created/updated dates. It (only) consists of interlinked notes which live in my PKM (personal knowledge management) system which is powered by Obsidian. This is on purpose....

This is a short description on how to set up a digital garden in Obsidian using the community plugin by Ole Eskild Skeensen. I started this during the IndieWebCamp 2023 in Nuremberg/Germany to replace my old website which was based on Known-. Setup of the Digital Garden To s...

Adjust the domain To adjust the domain of your website, you first need to set a CNAME in your DNS system for the address you want (in my case bjoern.stierand.org). Then, enter the new domain in the Vercel frontend under Settings/Domains. Vercel will automatically handle the ...

Hello from IndieWebCamp 2023 Nuremberg.
This site was created live during the demo of my What is a Digital Garden.

Suppose I'm at the right place at the right time; reaching for the lyrics in Reward.

Es ist ja nicht so, als hätte ich mich nicht schon öfter mit diesem Thema auseinandergesetzt. Aber diese Buch hat mir den notwendingen Anstoß gegen keine halben Sachen mehr zu machen und mich vollständig vegetarisch zu ernähren. Diese Buch ist natürlich keine leichte Kost. Aber das sollte es bitte auch nicht sein, wenn doch die industrielle Fleischproduktion und Massentierhaltung so ein riesen Haufen barbarische Scheiße ist.

Der Autor selbst geht trotzdem noch recht diplomatisch an die Sache ran, und versucht nicht einem (s)eine Meinung aufzudrücken (obwohl er diese trotzdem für sich sehr klar formuliert). Und mir gefiel auch, dass verschiedene Stimmen und gar Kompromiss-Lösungen beschrieben werden. Für mich aber lässt das alles nur eine Schlussfolgerung zu.

Ist die Verwandlung eine Metapher für eine (schwere) Krankheit, habe ich mich gefragt. Jedenfalls fand ich diesen Klassiker sehr interessant und unterhaltsam. Die unterschiedlichen Reaktionen der Mitmenschen auf seine Verwandlung sind einfach gut und glaubhaft beschrieben. Und zudem fand ich Kafkas Schreibstil sehr ansprechend. Hat diese Buch auch vielleicht “Die Fliege” inspiriert?

Another very entertaining part of the trilogy. The story – especially at the end – has its weaknesses IMHO (and I couldn't help but be reminded of Once upon a Time in Hollywood). But this just looks fantastic once again, has great acting, and a lot of excellent scenes.

There’s a new photo journal entry up!

The circus came to town. Frankeninferno. Camping in Perlenau. And a visit to the Neaderthal museum.

One of the biggest challenges with tools for making things, even just for the web, is there are so many to choose from. Nearly every tool has a learning curve to overcome before being able to use it efficiently. With proficiency, comes the ability to pursue more efficient us...

A friend of mine has to deal with the Google Ads API, the associated PHP client library and the associated OAuth2 flow in a project and is not making much progress. He is looking for someone who is familiar with these technologies, who can support him as part of a small assignment and take a look at his code. Do I know anyone here who I can put him in touch with? Many thanks (also for boosting)! 🙏🏽

Have to apologize to Nick Simson. He was having more issues than he should have with the webmentions plugin. Turns out that the Block Editor was hiding the option I kept expecting to be there. Will have to come up with a solution for that.
