Creating and Publishing a Bluesky Feed
I was recently invited to join Bluesky, a new social media platform. This was mostly motivated by the nightmare that Twitter has become over the past year or so. One of Bluesky’s nice features is the encouragement from the official team to build supplementary software. One way to do it is to build a custom feed. So, I set out to do just that: I built a feed that serves all posts related to TTRPGs on Bluesky. Here’s how I went about publishing mine on a DigitalOcean droplet using PM2, Nginx, and Let’s Encrypt.
Scaling Issues on Linux Workaround
If you’re on Linux and received the latest Steam patch that makes your UI scaling look overly large, here’s a quick workaround until Valve fixes the application (and given that you have a Steam desktop shortcut).
Open up the Steam desktop launcher shortcut (~/Desktop/steam.desktop) in your favorite text editor and find the line that starts with Exec=. You’ll want to change it to the following:
Exec=/usr/bin/steam -forcedesktopscaling 1.0%U
You can change the scaling factor to something other than 1.0, but that’s the value that worked for me without breaking the entire UI. The only downside is that you’ll have to launch Steam from this desktop shortcut until Valve fixes this.
MkDocs Live Edit Plugin Announcement
I just can’t seem to stop myself from making more MkDocs plugins. This time, it’s a plugin that can help with editing by allowing you to edit your Markdown files straight from the browser:
MkDocs Categories Plugin Update
The latest version, v0.4.0, of the mkdocs-categories-plugin is now available here or by running pip install mkdocs-categories-plugin. This new version fixes the sorting of categories containing numbers. This release is a minor quality-of-life update, but I can’t believe I didn’t notice this behavior before!
