Finished adding a 'Build Static Site' option to my web site. Going to keep DB local, and just push 'static' updates.

I just finished rebuilding my web site
Always loving the Pi, wishing I had this type of stuff when I was growing up rather than Z80's 6800's, and machine language, etc...
I've created a lot of things on the Pi over the last.. since ~2012 ?
- Made a Wrapper for TCL/Tk for wiringpi, never released
- Made a box that has 120 relays, with interchangeable ribbon cables, DIP clips that will draw a schematic for a PC board, and again never released.
- Made another box that will test pretty much any CMOS/TTL chip, plus run vectors against them and derive a truth table for creating PLD equations, also read EPROMS, and stuff like that.
Then I got it down to 20 mins, then 10, then 3, now 1.5 minutes with no hats and no acceleration !! :)
It uses a special LoRA model that gets added to the model pipeline that changes the number of steps it would take down to an average of only 4 steps.
Significantly reducing the time a Raspberry Pi 5 takes to spit out a simple 512x512 image.
The Pi OS, everything running and loading from a Class10 SD Card. Although of course it runs better on a Pi5 16G with a Pi 5 Solid state drive hat and a nice Solid State drive.
But, it will do a 1.5 minute image on a Raspberry Pi 5 8G version with only a BIG Class10 SD Card. And I mean BIG, because EVERYTHING image generation regardless of what you use for a computer, takes a lot of storage space.
The program is called 'LCM-LoRA Studio'.
Create a high-quality image, in an average of ONLY 4 STEPS using just a low-end CPU or a Raspberry Pi 5.
Check it out at: LCM-LoRA Studio
You can download the whole thing from the repository at GitHub github.com/rock-stevens/lcm-lora-studio
I welcome anyone interested in image generation on the Pi to check it out. (Runs on a PC too, CPU only)
Simple one command line install, and one command line to run.
Note: I may be slow to respond to comments and messages, so just bare with me.
Later...

I just finished rebuilding my web site
And, now that I am finished testing it, I'll start uploading my data to the site.
Over the coming weeks you'll start to see some content. I have created a lot over the years
New: Theme Button on header of site. Dark and Light Mode. Try it ! It uses one cookie named 'theme' to remember 'light' or 'dark'. But that is all.
