Since @djsundog mentioned alternate history computers it reminded me of this: https://www.docubyte.com/works/guide-to-computing/

I'm now thinking about how I could make a a modern version of the Kenbak 1.

@brennen @djsundog Cartridges for personal computers. I guess server rooms would look about the same, just with cooler looking ethernet cables.

@djsundog A port mapping switch board would be so much more satisfying than a web config panel.

@djsundog In this retro-futuristic view of the world Docker containers are physical blocks you connect together.

Apparently my iPad has notification noises turned on. I know this because I was started when @tootapp honked at me.

Something I just realized about moving my backend code to a socket server is that the application can connect locally or remotely with exactly the same code, only changing the IP address.

I'm considering replacing remote Apple Events with my own WebSocket server/ client.

How hard could it be? 😅

I decided I should try to use some time tracking software to figure out how long I'm spending on various projects (and especially to help estimate time for new ones).
Now I'll have a pretty pie chart telling me I need to always be doing something!

Just got a Very Important Business Email… with the user in my email address spelled wrong. I have never been happier all email to my domain goes into one inbox.

I've settled on a solution for this that I'm happy enough with. Alongside my nginx container I'm running an Rsync daemon container with shared volumes. Now any runner on the local network can sync files.

First I put the password into a file:

- echo "$RSYNC_PASS" > /rsync_pass
- chmod 600 /rsync_pass

Then build my Hugo site and sync:

- rsync -av --delete public/ --password-file=/rsync_pass rsync://$RSYNC_USER@$PRODUCTION_IP/data$PRODUCTION_DIR

I somehow managed to cut my finger on the ventilation holes on my MacBook Pro. This week is not going to hold back, is it?

Just did a quick test by unplugging the power supply: the battery is indeed charging!

I am using a real Li-ion battery charger for power. I just don’t have a charger meant for this battery.

Really hope this doesn’t burst into flames. https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/unUI5nVg-31ks9Pa9vk

My weekend project: refinishing the end table by the couch. A bunch of sanding and a couple coats of polyurethane later and it’s good as new! https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/rttv1VcerhsZbS9I6og https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/gUS44sgZLg5c988tUD0 https://mastodon.emory.coffee/media/c0_2uUyUVTJmO8kYhwg

I suppose this is my own fault for buying inexpensive scotch, but this scotch really isn’t good 🙁

Tweaking my system power management settings seems to have fixed the problems I've been having with my OWC Aura Pro X. The IO speed isn't quite what was promised, but it's good enough for now.

Question for Docker people:
What is the best way to update files in a Docker volume from a git repo using GitLab CI?
