make the year dynamic in Hacktoberfest documentation

[germainelee]

It's troublesome to remember to update the text manually. I've updated the code so that the year would always display the current year using {{ .Now.Year }}

The alt text looks like this on my local with this line of code @gabek

I've revised the words to be more generic like this on my local with this line of code so that we do not need to remember to update it yearly @gabek

Pull Request Overview

This PR makes the Hacktoberfest documentation year-agnostic by creating a dynamic shortcode that automatically displays the current year instead of requiring manual updates each year.

• Created a new Hugo shortcode that dynamically generates the current year using now.Year
• Replaced hardcoded "2024" references with the new shortcode calls
• Updated a directory URL reference from subdomain to path-based format

	If you've been thinking about trying Owncast for the first time but haven't found the right time to be inspired to try it out, **this is your chance**. If you spin up a new public Owncast server and list it on the [Owncast Directory](https://directory.owncast.online) during Hacktoberfest, you'll receive a t-shirt from us.

I guess if this page is being updated it should be fully updated. We gave up giving out t-shirts the past couple of years, as it made no difference in contributions, and those who contributed never requested one.

Would you mind removing references to them from the doc while you're updating it? Thank you!

One thing I want to mention, since I branched the website and started work on it, and the new website is using an entirely different stack, all of these changes won't be reflected in the future when we move off of Hugo, and they'll have to be redone. So for things like Hacktoberfest where it's useful right now to make the changes, it totally makes sense to do this. But for other things it might make sense to work on the new version of the site instead of the old one. Just something to think about.

Thanks for taking care of this!
