My "project time" this week (when I try to improve something about my business) was spent on investigating how to move from our current blog generating tool, hugo, to @stefano's BSSG.

So far, so good! I'm not quite ready to switch over just yet, but it has been pretty straightforward so far.

@neil That's great! Please note that the unreleased master branch includes a very effective RAM-only build mode, which makes things significantly faster. Also, three new BSD-based themes are coming 🙂

@stefano

This is an amazing tool - thank you!

"RAM" mode caused quite a lot of errors for me, so I switched to "normal" mode, and that is building fine.

Do you have any plans to add config parameters (to be used in the header template), for

<meta name="fediverse:creator" content="{{fedi-creator}}" />

or

<link rel="me" href="{{fedi_validation_account"/>

?

At the moment, I am adding them to the template without variables, meaning that I'll need multiple instances of BSSG, one per site :)

@neil I think I found out why the RAM build failed: you have no pages, and it wasn't considered. I'm patching it to totally skip the page build part in ram only mode if no pages have been created.

@stefano Aha! (And I will reply to your question on the issue anyway, for full context :))

@stefano I can't seem to log in to brew.bsd.cafe (TLS connection error), so I will try again later :)

@neil that's strange, but unfortunately the Brew website is currently being targeted by scrapers, DDoS, etc. so, from time to time, some strange problems arise. I need to improve the reverse proxy configuration as the countermeasures are now impacting the normal use of the services. I hate those bots!

Thank you for your patience!

@stefano I completely understand and sympathise.

I got nginx errors when I was submitting the issues yesterday (but I could get that far), whereas today I get

```
09:09:10.984341 [0-0] * HTTP/2 stream 1 was not closed cleanly: PROTOCOL_ERROR (err 1)
```

But this is really no deal at all, let alone a big deal, and I am very grateful for your amazing work on BSSG, and making it available to the world :)
