As I covered briefly [in a recent Scribble](https://blog.jbowdre.lol/post/near-realtime-weather-on-profile-lol-ku4yq-zr), I was inspired by the way [Kris's omg.lol page](https://kris.omg.lol/) displays realtime data from his [Weatherflow Tempest weather station](https://shop.weatherflow.com/products/tempest). I thought that was really neat and wanted to do the same on [my omg.lol page](https://jbowdre.lol) with data from my own Tempest, but I wanted to find a way to do it without needing to include an authenticated API call in the client-side JavaScript.

I realized I could use a GitHub Actions workflow to retrieve the data from the authenticated Tempest API, post it somewhere publicly accessible, and then have the client-side code fetch the data from there without needing any authentication. After a few days of tinkering, I came up with a presentation I'm happy with.

It wasn't too long ago (January, in fact) that I started [hosting this site with Neocities](/deploy-hugo-neocities-github-actions/). I was pretty pleased with that setup, but a few weeks ago my [monitoring setup](https://blog.jbowdre.lol/post/upptime-serverless-server-monitoring-c88fbaz7) started reporting that the site was down. And sure enough, trying to access the site would return a generic error message stating that the site was unknown. I eventually discovered that this was due to Neocities "forgetting" that the site was linked to the `runtimeterror.dev` domain. It was easy enough to just re-enter that domain in the configuration, and that immediately fixed things... until a few days later when the same thing happened again.

It was easy enough to just re-enter that domain in the configuration, and that immediately fixed things... until a few days later when the same thing happened again.
The same problem has now occurred five or six times, and my messages to the Neocities support contact have gone unanswered. I didn't see anyone else online reporting this exact issue, but I found several posts on Reddit about sites getting randomly broken (or even deleted!) and support taking a week (or more) to reply. I don't have that kind of patience, so I started to consider moving my content away from Neocities and cancelling my $5/month Supporter subscription.
I [recently](https://blog.jbowdre.lol/post/i-just-hopped-to-bunny-net) started using [bunny.net](https://bunny.net) for the site's DNS, and had also [leveraged Bunny's CDN for hosting font files](/using-custom-font-hugo/). This setup has been working great for me, and I realized that I could also use Bunny's CDN for hosting the entirety of my static site as well. After all, serving static files on the web is exactly what a CDN is great at. After an hour or two of tinkering, I successfully switched hosting setups with just a few seconds of downtime.

In my quest for such knowledge, last week I switched my various web properties back to using [Cabin](https://withcabin.com/) for "privacy-first, carbon conscious web analytics". I really like how lightweight and deliberately minimal Cabin is, and the portal does a great job of presenting the information that I care about. With this change, though, I gave up the cute little upvote widgets provided by the previous analytics platform.
I recently shared [on my Bear weblog](https://blog.jbowdre.lol/tracking-bear-upvotes-from-my-cabin/) about how I was hijacking Bear's built-in upvote button to send a "kudos" [event](https://docs.withcabin.com/events.html) to Cabin and tally those actions there.

Well today I implemented a similar thing on *this* blog. Without an existing widget to hijack, I needed to create this one from scratch using a combination of HTML in my page template, CSS to style it, and JavaScript to fire the event.

Last week, I came across and immediately fell in love with a delightfully-retro monospace font called [Berkeley Mono](https://berkeleygraphics.com/typefaces/berkeley-mono/). I promptly purchased a "personal developer" license and set to work [applying the font in my IDE and terminal](https://blog.jbowdre.lol/post/trying-tabby-terminal). I didn't want to stop there, though; the license also permits me to use the font on my personal site, and Berkeley Mono will fit in beautifully with the whole runtimeterror aesthetic.

Well, you're looking at the slick new font here, and I'm about to tell you how I added the font both to the site itself and to the [dynamically-generated OpenGraph share images](/dynamic-opengraph-images-with-hugo/) setup. It wasn't terribly hard to implement, but the Hugo documentation is a bit light on how to do it (and I'm kind of inept at this whole web development thing).

So instead, I opted to try using a [Content Delivery Network (CDN)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Content_delivery_network) to host the font files. This would allow for some degree of access control, help me learn more about a web technology I hadn't played with much, and make use of a cool `cdn.*` subdomain in the process.
