xargs is my favourite recent command line discovery. You can use xargs to avoid having to write a loop to call a command on a large number of files. So let's say you want to convert a folder of TTFs to WOFF2. Will shell globbing work?
$ woff2_compress *.ttf
One argument, the input filename, must be provided.
Nope. It must be called with just one file path. With xargs, that's as easy as:
$ ls *.ttf | xargs -n1 woff2_compress
Boom!
#commandline #unix #linux

I was seeing fake bold weights in #Safari everywhere. But not anymore. Make your life better, add a custom #CSS stylesheet.
:root {
font-synthesis-weight: none;
}

I was fed up with all the fragile node.js stuff and switched my personal website from #11ty to #jekyll (which is based on ruby). It was quite easy and took me about an hour, including setting up automatic deployment via pushing to a git repo on my own server.
