Something I regularly worry about with this blog is accidentally replacing a file by naming another file the same thing. Since I'm uploading these to my phone via github, there's a very real chance I'll forget I named an image something, upload a new version of the image, and some old post will be confusing forever[1].
It turns out I have already made this mistake, and in an incredibly poetic way. When I was testing out how 11ty would work and getting a feel for how it compiles pages into lists I made three sample posts. And then left them there when I went live because I thought it was funny. The files are named one.md, two.md, and three.md. When I realized my site turned one, I excitedly wrote a post about and named it... one.md. I can see in my git history the change.
I found this out scrolling back thru my posts and seeing how the final page of posts starts with 2. Wondering where one went, I took a look in github and: lo and behold. I could fix it and split them but... this is also funny? Maybe I'll make a RIV post complete with a tombstone to commemorate it.
Most posts should theoretically not hit this problem since they all reside in Obsidian, which yells at me when I name something the same but. There are outliers, as this shows. (plus the problem of images, which are scattered)
or at least until someone points it out. ↩︎
