About barf

-

barf is a minimal and suckless-inspired blog generator. It is a tweaked and slightly patched version of Karl Bartel’s fantastic blog.sh.

-

Why?

-

This project was created by me, Bradley Taunt, out of frustration with overly complex and bloated blogging options. I tried so many “minimal” generators but each one ended up having some glaring issue or heavy reliance on dependencies.

-

I wanted to have a system that I could easily replicate on any Linux machine. Something that didn’t require me to download half the internet just to get up and running. I’m a sucker for keeping things simple.

Cleaning Up barf’s Structure

2023-10-09

-

Things probably look a little different around here. Both in terms of this demo site and the core barf files itself.

-

This project was always intended to be focused on Linux platforms. So, I’ve removed the included barf_macos and barf_openbsd files to keep the generator more streamlined. But have no fear! Instructions for both Mac and OpenBSD can still be found on the main blog:

- -

As for the “default” look of barf, I’ve simplified things further. The total CSS styling now consists of only:

- 
*{box-sizing:border-box;}
 body{font-family:sans-serif;margin:0 auto;max-width:650px;padding:1rem;}
 img{max-width:100%;}
 pre{overflow:auto;}

Users still have the ability to tweak things as much as they’d like, but the standard look should be more than enough for anyone just focusing on writing. Dark mode has also been dropped but is easily added by adding the following inside the head tags:

- 
<meta name="color-scheme" content="dark light">
-

Hopefully these changes reduce the overall scope of the project, which was a main point made on the README originally!

barf

-

barf is an extremely minimal blog generator.

-

The entire build script is >170 lines of shell.

-

It could almost be called “suckless”, but probably isn’t. It was created for those focused on writing, not tinkering.

-

You can learn more by reading the official README.

-

barf = blogs are really fun

-
 
Clone barf: 

-
 
git clone https://git.btxx.org/barf
 

-
 
    
 
  1. Open project, change the domain variable at the top of the core barf file
    2. 
 
  2. Run: make build
    3. 
 
  3. Upload the contents of build to your server!

The barf project was built on Linux and was catered towards Linux users. The core of the project will remain focused on Linux/GNU tools, but that doesn’t mean MacOS needs to be left out in the cold.

-
 
Download Packages

-
 
This walkthrough assumes that you already have homebrew installed on your machine.

-
 
You will need to install the GNU versions of both date and sed in order to avoid breaking things when barf tries to build.

-
 
brew install coreutils
 brew install gnu-sed

Titles

Creating titles in smu is very easy. There are two different syntax styles. The
 first is underlining with at least three characters:

 Topic
 -----

This is very intuitive and self explaining. The resulting sourcecode looks like
 this:

-

Only the first number in a list is meaningful. All following list items are
 continously counted. If you want a list starting at 2, you could write:

-
 
2. Item 1
 2. Item 2
 2. Item 3
 

-
 
and get the following HTML which will render with the numbers 2, 3, 4:

-
 
<ol start="2">
 <li>Item 1</li>
 <li>Item 2</li>
 <li>Item 3</li>
 </ol>
 

-
 
Code & Blockquote

-
 
Use the > as a line prefix for defining blockquotes. Blockquotes are
 interpreted as well. This makes it possible to embed links, headings and even
 other quotes into a quote:

-
 
> Hello
 > This is a quote with a [link](http://s01.de/~gottox)
 

-
 
Result:
     
     Hello
     This is a quote with a link
     

-
 
You can define a code block with a leading Tab or with 4 leading spaces

-
 
    this.is(code)
 
     this.is(code, too)
 

-
 
Result:
     this.is(code)
     this.is(code, too)
     

-
 
Please note that you can’t use HTML or smu syntax in a code block.

-
 
Another way to write code blocks is to use code fences:

-
 
```json
 {"some": "code"}
 ```
 

-
 
This has two advantages:
 * The optional language identifier will be turned into a language- class name
 * You can keep the original indentation which helps when doing copy & paste

-
 
Tables

-
 
Tables can be generated with the following syntax:

-
 
| Heading1 | Heading2 |
 | -------- | -------- |
 | Cell 1   | Cell2    |
 

-
 
Aligning the columns make the input nicer to read, but is not necessary to get
 correct table output. You could just write

-
 
| Heading1 | Heading2 |
 | --- | --- |
 | Cell 1 | Cell2 |
 

-
 
To align the content of table cells, use |:--| for left, |--:| for right
 and |:--:| for centered alignment in the row which separates the header from
 the table body.

-
 
| Heading1 | Heading2 | Heading3 |
 | :------- | :------: | -------: |
 | Left     | Center   | Right    |

embed HTML

-
 
You can include arbitrary HTML code in your documents. The HTML will be
 passed through to the resulting document without modification. This is a good
 way to work around features that are missing in smu. If you don’t want this
 behaviour, use the -n flag when executing smu to stricly escape the HTML
 tags.

    I haven’t circled back to barf in quite a bit of time, so I’m happy to announce a small update mainly focused on quality of life improvements! I’ll keep things brief and get right into the core changes:
    
-
 
    Automatic detection of your operating system (supports Linux, macOS and OpenBSD currently)
    
-
 
      
 
    • barf now checks your current OS and sets aliases accordingly
      • 
 
    • this removes the need to hard-set your own aliases or run syslinks
      • 
 
    
-
 
    Added a semantically valid RSS feed

    • barf initially launched with Atom support only, now a separate RSS feed is generated at build time

    That’s it really! I’ve also updated the original blog posts about setting up barf on macOS and OpenBSD to reflect these changes.

-

 <p>Personally, I can&#8217;t be bothered to add that extra code to this project. The Safari team needs to get their shit together and fix such a simple bug. Plus, you shouldn&#8217;t be using Safari anyway - it&#8217;s proprietary garbage.</p>

 			Cleaning Up barf's Structure
 			<h1 id="cleaning-up-barfs-structure">Cleaning Up barf&#8217;s Structure</h1>
-
 <p>2023-10-09</p>
-
 <p>Things probably look a little different around here. Both in terms of this demo site <em>and</em> the core <code>barf</code> files itself.</p>
-
 <p>This project was always intended to be focused on Linux platforms. So, I&#8217;ve removed the included <code>barf_macos</code> and <code>barf_openbsd</code> files to keep the generator more streamlined. But have no fear! Instructions for both Mac and OpenBSD can still be found on the main blog:</p>
-
 <ul>
 <li><a href="/macos">Running <code>barf</code> on MacOS</a></li>
 <li><a href="/openbsd">Running <code>barf</code> on OpenBSD</a></li>
 </ul>
-
 <p>As for the &#8220;default&#8221; look of <code>barf</code>, I&#8217;ve simplified things further. The total CSS styling now consists of only:</p>
-
 <pre><code>*{box-sizing:border-box;}
 body{font-family:sans-serif;margin:0 auto;max-width:650px;padding:1rem;}
 img{max-width:100%;}
 pre{overflow:auto;}
 </code></pre>
-
 <p>Users still have the ability to tweak things as much as they&#8217;d like, but the standard look should be more than enough for anyone just focusing on writing. Dark mode has also been dropped but is easily added by adding the following inside the <code>head</code> tags:</p>
-
 <pre><code>&#60;meta name="color-scheme" content="dark light"&#62;
 </code></pre>
-
 <p>Hopefully these changes reduce the overall scope of the project, which was a main point made on the README originally!</p>
