Electronic Catan LCD Tiles: A collection of hexagon tiles that magnetically snap together to create a Settlers of Catan board of any shape or size. Each tile features a large round LCD and a custom magnetic pogo connector on each edge. Linking up a bunch of tiles creates a position-aware partial mesh network.

@omgmog good use of a Pi. Not used my Pi for a while, but I remember getting a significant speed boost by booting off an external SSD. Might help with the build times?

@corenominal That's not a bad suggestion! I should be able to half the times switching to an SSD over USB https://

@omgmog lol what a coincidence, I just finished reading both articles! One of the points in the focus paragraph made me realize I have to move my hidden rel="me" links: they are present when pressing Tab, but they don't have focus in the page and it's confusing...

Starting a bunch of these sounds at once beats white noise, hands down!
I suppose as a Jekyll/Github Pages user I've grown used to the levels of redundancy afforded by using the platform, and it's pretty neat for my development process to be so transparent (if anybody is bothered to look!)
If you're using Github and have a good number of followers, you also get a bit of syndication for free in the form of your commits showing up on your followers' timelines.
The only downside I've found is that I tend to have multiple drafts, on multiple clones of my blog repository across multiple machines, and I tend to lose stuff if I don't finish writing and publish in a timely manner!
Looking forward to trying this!

Parts 1 and 2:
It's 2022 and #CSS :only-child isn't aware of text nodes?
I'm trying to select an image that is the only direct descender of an element, with no text node siblings, e.g.:
<div><img /></div>
Not
<div>Hello<img />World</div>
div img:only-child will select this img in both cases, as will div img:first-child and div img:last-child
Am I missing something?

@omgmog I never stumble on a case like this, probably because I have a compulsion not to leave a text node untagged. In your second example I would have had:

And, off-topic: do we have markdown in Mastodon? I had to refrain from wrapping the above code within ``

@m2m I think not. I've also been resisting the compulsion to wrap `code` with backticks! π

@omgmog Because that'd quickly became a pain as HTML often has whitespace (which are also text nodes) between elements:

Nobody wants to deal with that.

Also I've made some more tweaks to my blog recently, such as:
- Improved Lighthouse score to 100 across the board
- Improved OG data
- Removed all tracking (Google Fonts, Twitter, etc.) with the exception of the Cloudflare beacon
- Added reading time and Webmention counts to the top of posts
- Probably more stuff π€·
