My site now supports webmentions

Ok you guys, I did it. I finally have webmentions working on my website. It's something I've always wanted to do but it seemed too complicated with my setup. I use a static site generator (SSG), 11ty, to build my site. Bloggers who use SSGs often host their sites on something like Github pages, Netlify or something similar so they have access to a CI/CD pipeline which does the building for the site. I host my site on a VPS running Caddy and I just rsync my files to my server. No automatic build server. I recently setup a homelab server though! I bought a used Intel NUC from eBay and loaded up Proxmox on it. So now, I have a poor man's build server! Yay. Anywho, all that to say, my site now supports webmentions. It collects likes, boosts, bookmarks, mentions, and replies, whether they come from someone's own website or from Mastodon and Bluesky and shows them in the footer of the blog post. Hell yeah.
