+tags: text-editors programming foss
+---
+
+Recently, back on June 8th of 2022, GitHub announced that it set an end-of-life of December 15th, 2022 for Atom. What was once a super popular text editor in the mid-2010s that has since fallen behind the times a bit, 
+
+### History
+
+
+
+### Technological Advances
+
+Atom brought along with it some pretty awesome technological advances, the primary one being Electron. Initially referred to as "Atom Shell", Electron quickly took off as a way to utilize the open source web browser Chromium as a base for desktop apps, and build on top of it using web technologies (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript) and Node.js.
+
+### Signing Off...
+
+Overall, I'm going to miss Atom. Sure, Sublime Text was more performant and VS Code has a much larger community these days, but it still has a place in my heart since I used it for several years when I started getting more serious in my IT career and I thought it was kinda awesome how the community around Atom exploded so quickly. It seemed like Atom's community shot well past that of the other well-established text editors of the time, practically overnight. Plus I always thought the "a hackable text editor for the 21st century" was such a cool slogan. Suffice to say it has a special place in my heart, so I'll simply end this post with "Farewell, Atom."

+title: "All Adventures Begin with Microsoft Edge"
+description: "This is part one of my Web Switching series, where I'm taking a look at other web browsers to see if I'm going to permanently switch from Mozilla Firefox."
+date: 2022-06-09 11:54:26 -0400
+tags: web-switched web-browsers microsoft microsoft-edge
+---
+
+I'm getting bored of Firefox. It works well and I love that it's open-source, but just being open-source isn't enough and I trust Mozilla about as much as I trust Google. Thus I'm ready for a change, and I'm going to start poking around some of the other major web browsers. Chrome/Chromium, Opera, Edge, Vivaldi, Brave, and possibly some others are my targets to try out. I'm going to give each browser about a 30 day trial run as my daily driver (note: I'll still be using other browsers for various things like maintaining multiple Google account sessions simultaneously), and the first one I'll be taking a look at is Microsoft Edge.
+
+This post will be accompanied by a video shortly, this is just a sneak peak for that video with my thoughts on Edge so far. I'll link the video here when it's live.
+
+### What is Edge?
+
+Microsoft's successor to Internet Explorer. Initially started out with their own rendering engine, but later based on Chromium and thus Google's Blink rendering engine. I've always liked Blink as it's super snappy.
+
+### Things I like...
+
+* Installing it was easy - Microsoft provide a Linux repo (nothing special)
+* Default theme (color themes) are beautiful - I'm partial to the Cool Blue one
+* Signing in to my Microsoft account was easy (nothing special)
+* I can use Chromecast from my browser (true for all Chromium browsers)
+
+### Things I don't like...
+
+* Starting Edge doesn't always restore my sessions, and when it does it doesn't always restore the tabs to their proper windows.
+* Can't find a way to change the search engine. I'm trying Bing out for now and it's doing fine for me (plus the Bing Rewards are nice!), but I'd like the option to change it.
+* Occasionally one window will pin itself to all of my workspaces and can't be unpinned without closing
+* Desktop notifications don't timeout

+
+There's not much else to say... welcome to Bit Goblin!
+
+If you're here then you likely don't need a real introduction since you're probably coming from YouTube or some other platform that you've met me on. But either way, in case you don't already know me, I'm a fun-loving, tech nerd that loves playing with anything relating to computers. Whether it's networking, system administration, database administration, building PCs, software development... the list goes on, but I love it all. To me, it's really fun building things and making things do what I want them to, whether it's to make my life a little bit easier, self-host some services to better safeguard my data, or just for fun. (...it's mostly for fun!)
+
+The content I post is mostly centered around me just documenting what I'm doing for my own future reference if I ever run into the same problems, and hopefully it helps you out as well or at least gets your gears turning and motivates you to go out and play with tech in your own way.
+
+The primary content that I publish is over on YouTube on my [Bit Goblin channel]({{ site.links.bitgoblin_channel }}), and I also semi-regularly post videos on Old School RuneScape over on [Ascendings]({{ site.links.ascendings_channel }}). If you prefer watching live content more, then you can head on over to [my Twitch channel]({{ site.links.twitch_channel }}) - I'm not nearly as active over there but I do hop occasionally to interact with you all and have a good time playing games (mostly Old School RuneScape... it's my favorite game, stop judging me).

+I'm also huge into building an inclusive, supportive community for great people to chat, chill and help each other out. In this vein I've spun up a [Discord server]({{ site.links.discord_invite }}) for you all to go hang out in and chat, and I'm currently in the process of spinning up a Minecraft server for you all to play on and a forum for a more laid back, old school-style way to talk to one another and get help. I'm open to spinning up more services for the community, so be sure to let me know if there's anything you want!

+title:  "How This Site is Made (with Jekyll)"
+description: "These days, you can make a website MANY different ways. So I chose Jekyll..."

+
+There are MANY ways to build a website these days. You have the old-school ways of hand-coding your HTML's and CSS's, to building a dynamically-generated website with new-agey tools like webpack and whatever-node-framework-is-in-right-now, and even using point-and-click tools like Wordpress or Squarespace. No matter what you want to do and your skill level, there's something for you.
+
+Personally, I LOVE building websites from the ground up. Not necessarily coding everything from scratch, but at least starting from something barebones that's extensible enough so I can plug-n-play my own choice of tools to make that's tailored to me. This is why when I need to make a website, depending on the requirements I'll use frameworks like Slim (PHP), Express.js (Node.js), Gin (Go), and the like - minimalist frameworks (or routers...) that I can plug in things like templating engines, an ORM or some sort of database abstraction layer, and authentication mechanisms.
+
+I also firmly believe that NOT every single website needs to be built to accept user inputs, or dynamically generate web pages on the fly; sometimes you only need a simple, static webpage or set of webpages that are small, concise, and quick to load.
+
+## Introducing Jekyll ##
+
+This is where static website generators come into play, and I went with [Jekyll](https://jekyllrb.com/). It's a really neat tool that combines the magic of the Liquid templating engine with the simplicity of markdown files to create a static, blog-aware site. Heck, it's so cool that it's used by GitHub! It's how they generate webpages for GitHub Pages! 
+
+Part of what makes Jekyll great is its extensibility. There are plugins available for things like compiling SASS/SCSS stylesheets and CoffeeScript, generating RSS feeds and sitemaps, displaying GitHub Gists, and many other things to help you in generating your site. Plus, there are community-maintained themes that can be used to give yourself a headstart with designing your site so you can focus on the content rather than the boring CSS designing junk.
+
+It does require some setup to get your site scaffolding and templating setup, especially if you want to use other tools like CoffeeScript to compile your JavaScript scripts (that's me!) and want to change your templating engine. But, once you've got your site configured, creating a new blog post is as simple as creating a new markdown file in your \_posts folder, fill out the post metadata, add some content and BAM! it's ready to go.
+
+Also, the developers of Jekyll were smart: they not allow you to build a site into static HTML files to serve on your site, but they also built in a tool to "watch" your source directory for changes and automatically rebuild it on the fly so you can easily see your changes as you're developing it or writing a new post.
+
+## Experiences with Hugo ##
+
+At this point I'd like to mention that I also really like [Hugo](https://gohugo.io), which is a static site generator in the same vein as Jekyll. It's written in Go, so it's typically a LOT faster to render sites, and it's also just a single binary so it's easier to install and maintain a single version that you build your site with. 
+
+Now as for why I went with Jekyll: simply just familiarity. I can go into a long debate about the pros and cons of each and talk about why Jekyll fits my use better, but realistically both are FANTASTIC tools that I'd recommend to anyone looking to build a static site. I don't need your confirmation that I made the correct choice ;).
+
+## That's all for now! ##
+
+Well, that's it for now. I hope you were able to learn something from this - I just wanted to talk about how I created this site with Jekyll since I'm really happy with the setup now. It's not too fancy, but isn't boring. Now the next step is integrating it with some CI to automatically deploy new versions of the site...

+Welcome! My name is Greg Ballantine and Bit Goblin is my passion project for creating YouTube videos on tech. I love tinkering with all things related to computers, and I enjoy documenting the things that I do so that others can use my struggles to ease their own. Whether it's buildings PCs, playing with networking gear, or exploring the beauty of Linux, there are lots of things to play with and try to help others with.
+
+Not only do I create tech videos for Bit Goblin, but I'm also trying to build a community around it for great people to just chill, have fun, and help each other out when need arises. Ranging from the aforementioned YouTube videos on computer hardware, networking and Linux, to a community Minecraft server, a Discord server for everyone to relax and chat with each other, a future community forum and other services. Everyone is welcome to join the community, all I ask is that you simply just be excellent to each other. Easy enough, right?
+
+I do work with sponsors to help fund my projects. If you're curious about who I've worked with before, check out the [Sponsors page]({% link sponsors.markdown %}).
