I started writing blog 20 years ago, not on this domain, but this blog still has all the old posts starting from 8th August 2004. Though I used to write mostly one line blog posts, which is equivalent of Mastodon posts these days.

I started writing another blog, but in Swedish. So that I can feel less scared with the language.

Tools used

• Started on blogspot in 2004
• Moved to Wordpress in 2007
• Moved to Nikola, first time for me in static blogging system in 2012.
• Moved to Shonku my Golang based static blogging tool in 2013.
• Moved to khata moved to my Rust based blogging tool in 2019.

Hopefully I will write more in the coming months. But, who knows :)

For the last few weeks, my blog feed was not showing up in the Fedora Planet. While trying to figure out what is wrong, Nirik pointed me to the 4 errors in the feed according to the W3C validator. If you don't know, I use a self developed Rust application called khata for my static blog. This means I had to fix these errors.

• Missing guid, just adding the guid to the feed items solved this.
• Relative URLs, this had to be fixed via the pulldown_cmark parser.
• Datetime error as error said "not RFC822" value. I am using chrono library, and was using to_rfc2822 call. Now, creating by hand with format RFC822 value.
• There is still one open issue dependent on the upstream fix.

The changes are in the git. I am using a build from there. I will make a release after the final remaining issue is fixed.

Oh, I also noticed how bad the code looks now as I can understand Rust better :)

Also, the other Planets, like Python and Tor, are still working for my feed.
