Shared notes from my Org-roam database

This is how I’ve tried making blockquotes look the way I want them on daily.baty.net. It assumes that the last <p> or <a> element is meant to be the source, so treats that differently. I’m terrible with CSS, so mostly just pay attention to the part about last-of-type. With that, the final paragraph or link in the quote is treated as the source/citation.

UPDATE: This was actually a problem with org-roam links in the file. Even valid links would cause the ox-hugo export to fail. Thanks to @kaushalmodi for providing me with a solution. The short version is that I had to set org-id-extra-files so that it included the ~/org/roam directory.
(setq org-id-extra-files org-roam-directory) did the trick. I no longer need to use the workaround below.
When using ox-hugo to export from a single subtree in a file, any broken links in the file (not just in the current subtree) cause the export to fail.

I use Emacs and Mu4e for managing email. Normally having all of my email as text files in Maildir format is fine. There are times, though, when I want to save a copy of an email and put it in DEVONthink with everything else. DEVONthink handles email very well, meaning it previews the headers separate from the messages and formats things nicely.
I keep “deep” links to a few Mac apps in Emacs and want to click them in order to open specific items in those apps.
For example, I use DEVONthink for collecting PDFs and other research for projects or personal use. The DEVONthink URLs look like this:
x-devonthink-item://EB2842EA-B147-4F04-9319-F028A7DCD911
To make that a clickable link, I use org-link-set-parameters. Here’s my current setup.

Related blog post: Publishing portions of my Org-roam database โ Jack Baty I keep all of the Org-roam notes I’d like to share in a public/ subdirectory of my main Org-roam directory. To make creating these files easier, I have the following capture template for Org-roam:
1 2 3 4 5 6 ("P" ;; Key "Public (published in /public)" ;; Description plain ;; Type (file "~/org/roam/templates/PublicTemplate.org") ;; Template :target (file "public/${slug}.
Home - Docker I kind of hate Docker, but mostly because I still don’t understand how it works.
Building multi-architecture images Needed this because I was building the image on my Mac and trying to run it on Linux. This happened:
Error response from daemon: image with reference jackbaty/roam-notes was found but does not match the specified platform: wanted linux/amd64, actual: linux/arm64/v8.
