@maiki stupid hugo question. Im having trouble with Hugo parsing markdown links that end in a close parenthesis. As some Wikipedia articles do. Is there a mechanism for escaping parenthesis im missing?
@satchmoz no stupid questions!
I link to Wikipedia often, so I am not sure I can repro on my own. Send me a repo to clone and I will check it out real quick. ^_^
@maiki Got it, you can escape characters in markdown links as in C with a forward-slash. Thanks though.
@satchmoz can I still see an example? I've never run into that, and I don't fully understand the issue. But markdown links should be easier than that.
Where are you rendering it? In Content, or in a different partial somewhere?
@maiki because of the url you get a double ')' at the end.
@satchmoz here is a quick test: https://interi.org/notes/hugo-scratchpad/ and corresponding content file: https://allthe.codes/maiki/interi/blob/master/content/notes/hugo-scratchpad.md
The first one is just the URL on it's own, but the others work as expected for me. So I think your setup may be buggy; you running 30.1?
@maiki When I finish porting my blog over I will probably get around to asking the maintainer to bump hugo's version.
@satchmoz coolio! Hey, I am new to pkg, and search finds a few different indices to search, I think they may be different for *BSD flavors... anyhow, could you point me to the pkg info page for Hugo, and really the one you refer to?
I was reading about the TrueOS project the other day, and have my first glimpse into what makes *BSD different from GNU/Linux. Also, GNOME works, which is the biggie for me. ^_^
@maiki This is #NetBSD's #pkgsrc site, and the Hugo package on it. http://pkgsrc.se/games/hugo
PKGSrc is a wierd beast it supports a number of OSes with those same packages (details here http://www.pkgsrc.org/#index5h1)
But #NetBSD and #Minix are the only two who use #PkgSrc as their default package manager to my knowledge.
Though pleanty of BSDs use cousins or alternate PkgSrc trees.
@maiki no sorry this hugo package - http://pkgsrc.se/www/hugo
@satchmoz Ha! One second ahead!
@satchmoz I used to avoid asking, because back in the day this was near religious, but why NetBSD? In broad terms, why do you run that, rather than Open or Free? I forgot the features that distinguish them, and even if I recalled, it was, um, at least a decade ago that I was noticing.
@maiki NetBSD is the ultra portable runs on any architecture BSD. Often gets ported before the others to new architectures.
Portability across architectures is a value I kind of covet, as a former power architecture refugee.
This also means I should be able to get it running on say my EOMA68 laptop down the road easily, where as that might be harder to do with some other BSDs. (Though FreeBSD supports that SoC too).
@satchmoz how is the governance? I know that is important to you, me too. What's the worse/most controversial thing the Foundation has done? ^_^
@maiki NetBSD foundation is a meritocracy appointed by NetBSD developers. Its pretty low on controversy from what I can tell.
Negatives are the barrier for being a "true" NetBSD developer and having a voice in governance is higher than say getting voting right in Debian.
And governance has been accused of letting #NetBSD kind of slide into less prominence when compared to say OpenBSD and FreeBSD.
@maiki OpenBSD is a fork of NetBSD actually, from some very early NetBSD drama in the very early years back when their were only the two BSDs. But im still a little unclear over what.
@maiki I kind of try to arrange my computing choices such that there is minimum fuss, if I have to leave this operating system / CPU architecture/ desktop environment / individual apps, for another.
A sign ive fled one too many alternate OSes over the years.
@satchmoz I am at a point where I am thinking of trying out *BSD, see if there is something there for me. I am quite happy being just behind GNOME-latest, and use Ubuntu LTS releases, but waiting for 18.04 has been the first time I feel I am missing out by sticking with LTS (lots of libraries and apps just aren't backported, or something).
I wish I had extra hardware to play with, but I don't, so for now this is just exploratory. ^_^
@maiki There is a lot of interesting BSDs out there.
Outside of the historic big three and TrueOS.
DragonFly BSD does some interesting innovative stuff and im truly curious about it's HammerFS v2 work and GhostBSD looks neat.
@maiki NetBSD and FreeBSD both support a number of those hyper cheap single board computers if you needed an excuse to play with one on cheap hardware.
I've been talking myself from buying a $9 NetBSD box all month actually. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/librecomputer/libre-computer-board-tritium-sbc-linux-android-7-n
@maiki That being said if you find yourself craving bleeding edge software of any sort Id consider FreeBSD or any of the derivatives which use it's ports tree.
It gets the most love so it gets the most current packages.
