to2ds These files are being served statically in NGINX, so I believe try_files /$1.as2.json =404 should deliver the correct mime type if set in mime.types or even in the location block.

[artlung]2 Added some image previews to my own blogroll. https://artlung.com/blogroll/ (inspired by FrESH today)

[jeremycherfas] After two days of futility, trying to upgrade my Pi OS in place, I finally bit the bullet and decided to start with a fresh image of Trixie, the latest. I didn’t have that many customisations and in the end I think reconstructing those will be the saner option.
# carrvo CSS question: I have a sticky navbar with a fixed dropdown menu. However, the dropdown menu seems to gain an ever expanding vertical offset department on the scroll. Why is this and how do I fix it?

# [artlung]2 I'm headed to bed but I think a hamburger menu ought to use either labels or buttons to activate, I like using checkboxes to open menus, looks like this uses hover? I suspect using focus-within would be helpful. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Reference/Selectors/:focus-within
# [artlung]2 arbitrary div as the activator is going to be less accessible and mobile unfriendly.

[artlung] in terms of a more current accessible approach this came up. https://mukundkumra.medium.com/create-a-responsive-hamburger-menu-with-html-and-css-a-step-by-step-tutorial-c63e44fcee2e
# [artlung] I wrote some code for Reilly's nav which is not precisely the same but demonstrates focus-within which would allow for those sub items to get tabbed to. https://codepen.io/artlung/pen/raagwmm
# [Jo]2 I neeed to update my hamburger menu to be like a button or smth that is less awkward than what i have now
# [Jo]2 Atm i have the hamburger icon in the page twice because i was lazy
# [Jo]2 Probably a checkbox with some :has css to hide themenu

# [Jo]2 Working on a shell script to generate a grid for the blogroll idea that can be filtered by css tag
# [social] [artlung]++ Nicely done blogroll. Did you automate the creation of the thumbnails and their placement in the page? Also, I’m deeply appreciative of the use of dt and dd.

# [artlung] carrvo I took a swipe at a hamburger menu. I include your template.html markup and css in this codepen and hopefully my recommended changes make sense. https://codepen.io/artlung/pen/pvyyVMG
# [social] I used to use definition lists a ton. They were under used and not understood.
# [social] I’ve been trying to get my host to enable 404 for non PHP pages. It seems there is a vulnerability in NginX around turning that on.
# [social] Oddly, the other day my http://vanderwal.net threw a 404 page up (that I created years ago) and I could not get it to repeat it.
# [Jo]2 Weird.
# carrvo artlung++ I appreciate the accessibility notes! Unfortunately I am starting with first swing and not incorporating accessibility into my repertoire yet.

# carrvo That being said, do I understand correctly that your solution solves the scrolling issue by having sticky -> relative -> absolute in the hierarcy? As opposed to my sticky -> fixed.

# carrvo I originally used sticky -> fixed because sticky -> absolute was cutting off the dropdown at the edge of the sticky grandparent.
# carrvo Or is it because you are using `display: flex` that it no longer has the same issue?
# carrvo I'm not even very attached to the "hamburger", I just chose it temporarily as something fairly common until I have base functionality. I might take inspiration from capjamesg and turn it into a coffee cup, for example.
# carrvo I did. I found the sticky -> relative -> absolute and the `display: flex`, but I find it difficult to read your CSS.
