2024–W15 #
- Watched the eclipse!
- Learned about Traefik and deployed it on
merkedandruxton. I really like it so far. So much smaller config thannginxwas. - Started working on Thymesheet from co-working.
- Installed Navidrome and I like it, too. Gives me my own music with almost the convenience of streaming platforms.
- I looked into ARIN registration. Seems like there's a "Catch 22" of needing to show you'll immediately need resources before you are allowed to have any?
- Tried different Bittorrent clients because Transmission was semi-broken on
pkbut they all had their downsides. Just decided to not use Bittorrent for now as that side-path was a time-sink. - Bought (from KJP) and laminated (with glue?) some wood, for carving two-tone plaques.
- Lamination turned out well!
- Burned time on SQLite3 on Windows. Got there in the end. Second time I've done this?
- Burned time on setting up Tempo and a local S3 server (Garage) -- decided to park this.
- Maybe Pyroscope is more appropriate?
- Maybe I should finish building a slow thing before I need distributed tracing for it.
- Processed all of those twisted 2x4s for a chopping block.
- Figured out MiniDisc uploading from Chrome via WebUSB!
- Found an 11 million file leak in my Mastodon media: it was having multiple versions of files enabled.
- Ported some of Dith to Rust. It was enjoyable.
- Implemented traits on other people's types! A mind expanding moment.
- Return a
Box<dyn Error>which makes?operator more useful for scrappy scripts. - I am starting to accept that I can't understand all of Rust all at once, and that's not necessary to be productive in it. I need to accept some of it is magic (although, arguably, less magic than Rails is).
- I made enchiladas with my own recipe and they rocked.
- I'll never be able to make them the same way again, probably.
- I designed and CNC-cut molds for wax cylinders that knitting machines need.
- Then I did the pour and had to cut the other side of the wood to free the wax.
- But ultimately it worked really well! Even if it destroyed the mold in the process, I made nine.
- I made firelighters with sawdust and beeswax.
