Three changes, each found by pointing it at zonetoast, which files by tag
rather than category and writes its links by hand.
A single-bucket taxonomy is dropped. Pelican gives every uncategorised article
its DEFAULT_CATEGORY, so a tag-filed site still has one category holding
everything, and offering "misc, 14" as the only way in is worse than offering
nothing at all. Below SMOLNET_MIN_SECTIONS the whole section index goes.
randogoth.com still gets its six areas.
Links written against the HTML build are rewritten. {filename} is the portable
form, but content predating that knowledge hardcodes the output URL instead,
and zonetoast is full of ](/go-west.html). A capsule has no .html and the
daemon resolves a name carrying an extension literally, so all seventeen of
them 404'd. They now map onto the flat capsule slug, /pages/glossary.html
included, and a target matching no document is reported rather than silently
rewritten into a second broken link.
The line under an article title is a setting. Date and category is the right
default, but a site whose category is always `misc` has something better to
say: zonetoast carries `era`, which is what it is actually organised around,
so its articles read "17 May 2026 · 1996".

sites
Three domains, one directory each, one audience each.
| Directory | Domain | Subject | Audience |
|---|---|---|---|
flux.vision/ |
flux.vision | Kiritan Flux: media arts, VJ, performance, installations, 2003-2021 | festival and art world |
tobias.raayoni-last.com/ |
tobias.raayoni-last.com | client work, portfolio, CV | clients, employers, galleries |
randogoth.com/ |
randogoth.com | the technical work, six areas | devs, retro and small-net readers |
They were one site until October 2026. The split is the fix: four audiences were being handed one page, and a page that serves four audiences collapses into the only format that can hold unrelated things, which is a dated list.
sublunar.space is deliberately not here. It is a working blog with nine years and 440 commits of
its own voice, and it keeps its own repo.
Building
All three are Pelican, with no shared build. Each stands alone:
cd flux.vision # or tobias.raayoni-last.com, or randogoth.com
uv run --quiet --with pelican --with markdown -- pelican content -o output -s pelicanconf.py
Each directory has its own README covering its theme, its taxonomy and the traps specific to it.
| articles | theme | notes | |

flux.vision/ |
90 | flux |
recovered from the Wayback Machine; closed, maintained not updated |
tobias.raayoni-last.com/ |

Deployment
Built and served on bucur. A push triggers a webhook that builds the changed site and rsyncs it
into place. Content does not trigger a system activation: the site derivations are flake packages,
so a typo costs a Pelican run rather than a nixos-rebuild switch.
Shared conventions
- No em dashes. Commas, colons, full stops or
·. - Flat slugs.
{slug}.htmlon all three. Categories get reworked; slugs should not move. - No
nl2br. The recovered bodies are hard wrapped at about 70 characters, so it turns every source line into a forced break. This has been fixed twice; do not add it back. - Lost images are handled at build time, not in the browser. The references stay in the Markdown
because the reference records what was there;
plugins/lostimages.pystrips them from the output. - Check the built output, not the source. Several bugs here were invisible at a glance and obvious to a counter: forced line breaks that fell near the natural wrap, box drawing a column short, a config change that silently emptied every hotkey.
The working material
The inventory, the recovery pipelines, the pruned articles, the source archives and REFACTOR.md
live outside this repo, at /mnt/data/Backup/sites-restructure-2026-10-05/. A clone is the three
sites, not the argument that produced them.
That backup is worth keeping: the sort is not reproducible from the sites alone. inventory.tsv
records why each of 266 articles went where it did, and _pruned/ is the only record of what was
taken out.
