• Converting BlogCFC blog to Eleventy

  Handling New Comments: There are excellent lightweight comment utilities available for managing comments on your eleventy blog. I personally use Utterances, but Giscus is also a great alternative. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago

• A blog post is a long and complex search query to find people

  You might want to look into using giscus[1] for a commenting system on your blog. All it needs is a public GH repository to host the discussions, after which you simply embed a script into each blog post, and visitors will be able to leave a comment using their GH account.

• What has your personal website/blog done for you?

  I first used basic google analytics but found it too invasive/heavy so I switched over to https://www.goatcounter.com/. For comments, most solutions were also too heavy, paid or had ads, but I finally found https://giscus.app/. So while I did add these 2 features, I'm happy with those variants that I managed to find. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago

• Building A Blog Website with Next.js

  Every blog needs some social interaction, like comments and reactions. I didn't want to spend a lot of time on creating a reliable comment system. After some research, I found Giscus which uses GitHub Discussions to integrate comments. It's very easy to customize and use. Just adding one component gave me a fully-functional comment system with authentication and reactions. - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago

• How exactly do I self-host Giscus?

  Then I met Giscus and a simple local implementation by an ID that all posts have worked without any trouble. However, although this site is simple in its concept, the potential for the Users' engagement via comments can be quite a thing and that could create a rate-limit issue in the future. Fortunately, Giscus can be self-hosted. Source: 12 months ago

• The Bleak Genius of Michel Foucault

  If you're looking for an intellectual critique of Foucault, one of the best is Jean Baudrillard's book Forget Foucault from 1977. Baudrillard both admired the depth of Foucault's historically informed philosophical analysis but questioned its objectivity especially given Foucault had little to say about how power evolved with mass media & technology - and was in a sense always fighting the last war: > "If Foucault... - Source: Hacker News / 4 days ago
