WARNING: BORING NERD TOPIC AHOY

I had mentioned on my Neocities profile that I would look into re-writing my website fairly soon right after pushing an update out. Took a bit longer than I would've liked honestly, but it's here!
|
||||
|
||||
Actually, it had been mostly finished for a while (since July 1st), but I hit a couple of roadblocks (mainly date conversion) that demoralized me from working more on it at the time, as well as some lifestyle changes, like spending less time on the PC and exercising often.
|
||||
|
||||
**The most notable things about my site re-write off the top of my head are:**
|
||||
* converting page elements into `.json` data tables
|
||||
* rebasing large parts of the page styling
|
||||
* a larger emphasis on accessibility

|

I still don't understand JavaScript that well, got stumped on a couple of things, and as a result I took some time off working on the re-write.
|
||||
|
||||
Regardless, I had ported over the base layout and most pages, which would be around 90% of the work done within the first couple of days. The last 10% that was left being: having to tackle date conversion with [Luxon](https://github.com/moment/luxon), setting custom filters for Eleventy to use them and forgetting to port a few page elements to `.json` data tables.

Currently, my filters are handled really shittily, but they work whenever I build my site.

I went to set up a virtual machine to understand what I'd want out of a "new" operating system, so I tried out [Fedora Workstation](https://fedoraproject.org/#editions) at first and it felt pretty seamless, I didn't have to use the terminal for much of anything.

|

I tinkered with it for a couple of days before deciding to look up system/media installers for Linux distributions (that are able to be run on Windows) and coming up empty-handed, cluelessly thinking that somehow only Windows manages to offer one.
|

|

Here's a little anecdote:
|
||||
|
||||
A number of things went wrong on my first install, like my network devices being wiped off, and as a result, being unable to update my system via apt (I thought that it was DNS causing issues or not having enough mirrors for packages), and then it was unable to boot into my desktop environment, but not before **almost deleting my entire system** because of apt deciding to delete a ton of system packages in the process of trying to get Nvidia drivers to work.

In retrospect, it's pretty fucking funny, but in the moment I was dreading the possibility of bricking my system.
