I started a blog specifically to make me document these things in a digestable manner. I doubt anyone will ever see it, but it’s for me. It’s a historical record of my projects and the steps and problems experienced when setting them up.

I’m using 11ty so I can just write markdown notes and publish static HTML using a very simple 11ty template. That takes all the hassle out of wrangling a website and all I have to do is markdown.

If someone stumbles across it in the slop ridden searchscape, I hope it helps them, but I know it will help me and that’s the goal.

But what about videos of DOGS farting?

I decided to give it an honest try after somebody mentioned it on lemmy a few weeks ago.

… I really like it.

I still pop open Theia if I’m just doing some research that has me hopping all around, or sometimes on a separate monitor for a referenced project/library associated with my work, but I do the actual work in Helix.

It’s being pushed very hard by management where I work and I’m consistently seeing the same as above. I mentioned on another thread recently that I’ve heard “I don’t know why Claude did that” multiple times over the past few weeks.

It’s infuriating.

Glad to see this comment on the chain. I haven’t tried it myself (yet) but I’ve got a friend that does and says it works great.

It’s on my list. Unfortunately, it’s a really long list.

My problem with this, if I understand correctly, is I can usually do all of this faster without having to lead a LLM around by the nose and try to coerce it into being helpful.

That said, search engines do suck ass these days (thanks LLMs)

Without the payoff of the next generation of developers learning.

Management: “Treat it like a junior dev”

… So where are we going to get senior devs if we’re not training juniors?

Welcome to the future! … Or the past, not sure, but welcome.

I’m still running SATA spinny disks for my big-ish data. I can’t afford a 16TB SSD…

I know that’s off topic, but HDDs are still a thing too.

I don’t have a suggestion but commenting so I’ll remember to follow. I’ve just been using the CLI but if there’s a nice management system I’m interested.

Though, I’m curious if a docker one would work… I have docker aliased to podman already

I definitely know that feeling.

Now that I’m at a keyboard, here’s the (Caddy) plugin I was referring to : https://github.com/caddy-dns/namecheap

Damn it. I’ve been following bun for a long time and using it casually… Guess it’s good I didn’t get too far into it

Namecheap supports this according to docs. I just haven’t tested yet.

Doesn’t caddy support that (name cheap txt mod) via a plug-in?

I haven’t tried it yet, but the plugin made it sound possible. I’m planning to automate on next expiration… When I get to it ;)

I did already compile caddy with the plugin, just haven’t generated my name cheap token and tested.

Mine runs on my desktop that I built in 2016. So yes. I also tested it on a Lenovo tiny (similar to a NUC) that I’m using as a self host “server” and it seemed fine but I didn’t try any heavy transcoding yet.

Grok here: computers are fine, humans were a mistake

I still type ifconfig by habit. Some kid the other day told me that you can judge a person’s age and Linux experience by whether they expect ifconfig and netstat vs ip and ss.

… I’m just glad they kept the parameters the same in ss

I am not a smart person and it wasn’t the right tool for my job so I didn’t research it further once that was established. Maybe if somebody told me one more time it’d stick.

EDIT : In case anyone is curious : https://github.com/latchset/clevis

I hadn’t heard of Dropbear until I started researching this… cool project. That seems to be the ticket if you’re wanting manual intervention to unlock the disk. If you want automatic unlock via another server on the network, sounds like Clevis may be the thing.

One of our client support people told an angry client to open a Jira with urgent priority and we’d get right on it.

… the client support person knew full well that Jira was down too : D

At least, I think they knew. Either way, not shit we could do about it for that particular region until AWS fixed things.
