Small site changes and new design

I have been wanting to refresh my site for a while now. I have even posted a few times on LinkedIn and X offering to pay if somoene was interested in taking a stab at it.

I am sure this will put people off from reading my blog just stating this, but I decided to take a stab at some design changes with AI and some minor site improvements that I have always wanted to do.

If you think the site looks much worse, please let me know.

Some small improvements and quality-of-life enhacements:

A small /nix/store entry in the footer to showcase the site is built with Nix.
A Jekyll plugin that automatically creates source-sets for the images I use in my blog posts.
A Jekyll plugin to create a short content hash for the stylesheets to avoid the browsers caching stale CSS.
Redesigned the layout to allow side-bar content.

I continued to try and give it my personal flair to avoid it looking like AI-slop but 🤷
