Now I have joined the unemployed (technically I’m retired…) I have some time to revisit my site again. I forgot how much I enjoyed messing with templating to make things work how I wanted.
I want to get posting again and update some of the guides I have written - mainly for myself, but also for the people who have also been looking at it (which I only know about from the spanky new install of Plausible I just finished).
Migrating from Proxmox 6 to 7 was surprisingly simple, I just followed the guide here and there were no issues at all.
Recreating my reverse proxy container wasn’t too bad either, although it had me wondering if I should learn something a bit newer than Apache.
Hopefully Webmentions still work, I’ll send one to my yearly targets page to see!
Gutted that Atom text editor is being archived on December 15th! I’ve tried VSCodium and..it’s not the same. Atom is so simple and clean! This whole site was written in Atom.
I’ll have to try some other text editors. Sublime looks great…but $99USD for a text editor? Are you nuts??
Maybe someone will fork it. I really hope someone will fork it!
I think I’m getting a bit more interested in the site again. I think now the Masters is out of the way I have a bit more headspace for hobbies and learning again. There’s a few things I want to learn about - CI (Netlify?), removing Google fonts and more indieweb stuff.
I would be nice to turn this notes section into a Twitter-a-like with webmentions, but I’ve still got some work to do on the formatting!
Ever try to run a backup that takes about a week…on a server that seems to crash every three days? So frustrating. USB3 might be fast…but it ain’t 13TB of data I want to transfer NOW fast.
Down to my last 500gb on my backup server so trying to prep for a storage upgrade. Not happy about the second weekend in a row I have to work on it. think that the moment you cross about 4tb or data it stops being a hobby and becomes a part time job.
I’m messing about with different options for updating my Kodi setup. Plex integration is a bit of a headache - the official Kodi Plex plugin hasn’t been updated in a long time. Enter…PlexKodiConnect. I’m just experimenting at the moment, but I think this has huge potential- it makes my media look so beautiful!
I do not need a new laptop, my Macbook is more than capable for another few years. Those System76 Lemur Pro’s though…There’s even a sale on at the moment. I haven’t had a linux desktop for a decade or so, but PopOS! looks fun. I absolutely do not need a new laptop…But I want a new laptop.
Is it just me, or is Brid.gy acting up at the moment? All the posts I’ve published today have totally failed to POSSE out to Mastodon…I’ve re-enabled my Mastodon account in the service but still no dice. It could be because of the #Hugo templates I’ve been making for syndication of notes and blog posts recently, but I guess it’s a problem to look into and try and solve later.
