Jekyll - how to build a REST API

Serve your data as static JSON

How to make a read-only JSON REST API using Jekyll.

This doesn't need any Ruby plugins - you just use some built-in templating features in Jekyll 3 or 4.

You will end up with a single JSON file contains data for all pages on the site, and another JSON file of just posts. Alternatively, you can replace every HTML page and post with a JSON version.

Do your Raspberry Pi's Network Interfaces freeze?

My Raspberry Pi 4 kept losing its wlan0 interface. I could usually reconnect via Ethernet but, from time to time, I noticed that the eth0 interface would also go walkabout.

I tried a lot of things but the one described here seems to have cured the problem. I have no idea why it works. It just does.

Step 0 - are you a Windows user?

The script shown in the next step should be created on your Raspberry Pi. Please do not make the mistake of selecting the text, copying it into a text editor on your Windows machine, saving the file, and then moving the file to your Raspberry Pi. Unless you take precautions, Windows will add its 0x0d 0x0a (CR+LF) line endings and those will stop the script from working properly on your Raspberry Pi.

	Here's how to export your movie history from Must, just in case it goes under.
	Go to https://mustapp.com/@<your_profile_name>/watched
	Scroll down (hold End on keyboard) until the whole list is loaded.
	Open Browser Developer Tools, Console.
	Paste the following line and press Enter:
	(() => { let exportResult = ""; $('.js_item_product').each((i, el) => exportResult += $(el).find('.poster__title').text() + '\t' + $(el).find('.poster__rate').text().trim() + '\n'); copy(exportResult); })();
	Now your clipboard contains a list of Tab separated movie titles and ratings.

	For Series (includes number of unwatched episodes after another Tab, if not finished):
	(() => { let exportResult = ""; $('.js_item_product').each((i, el) => exportResult += $(el).find('.poster__title').text() + '\t' + $(el).find('.poster__rate_stars').text().trim() + '\t' + $(el).find('.poster__rate_progress').text().trim() + '\n'); copy(exportResult); })();
