let's do it.

Fixed a permissions mistake

Posted Saturday, September 20, 2025, 6:49:58 PM by devin.r.cohen

I accidentally wiped perms to 644 for every file including my executables and temporarily broke the site! pretty simple fix, just had to fix the perms on the executables. The index shows up as does the newspro interface (which is how i am typing this to begin with) but just posting this to make sure everything works. Peace.

Lookin' Spiffy

To make this page look semi-readable by human eyes, I have been tweaking the CSS and news templates. I'm only considering mobile right now, but I plan to learn about @media calls so I can design for desktop browsers as well.

Front Page Update

The front page has been changed to a CGI file compiled from a C++ source file. This allows me to practice reading files from directories buried in the server and avoid using SSIs.

It's been a while

With some wizardry, I was able to install this ancient CGI news program, NewsPro 3.8. The developers' website is lost to history, so I had to rely on wayback machine for installation instructions and chatGPT to adapt to a modern nginx server. It feels like I took a time machine to 8th grade, dealing with this old tech!
