You'll find posts about a variety of topics at michaellamb.dev. I'm interested in exploring distributed systems both to educate myself and others. When this blog project started, I built and documented a Pi cluster as the initial posts. Most content has been generated by this new environment. Some is more community or professional oriented. A little bit of personality is sprinkled in.
I want my blog to be accessible, but still have some of my fingerprints on it.
If anything in my blog inspires you, I'd love to know about it.

Each post should have an associated SEO image in the /seo directory. The image filename should match the post date (e.g., 2025-01-09.png).
To verify SEO images for all posts:
# Run the verification script
ruby scripts/verify_seo_images.rb
# The script will:
# 1. Check if all posts have an SEO image specified in front matter
# 2. Verify that the specified images exist
# 3. Check for the default fallback image (default.png)
# 4. Report any missing or invalid images
This repository includes Git hooks to automate certain checks:
- Install the hooks:
# Make the install script executable
chmod +x scripts/install-hooks.sh
# Run the install script
./scripts/install-hooks.sh
-
Pre-push hook:
- Automatically runs SEO image verification before each push
- Prevents pushing if any SEO images are missing
- Can be bypassed in emergencies with
git push --no-verify
-
Pre-commit hook:
- Runs markdownlint on staged markdown files
- Ensures consistent markdown formatting
- Prevents commits if linting fails
- Can be bypassed with
git commit --no-verify
Contributions are welcome! Please read the maintenance guide for current issues and improvements being tracked.
