Unfortunately I have my first driving lesson today (in the simulator!) clashing with my first IndieWebCamp event (since I’ve joined). The 2-day event is in-person and held at Düsseldorf (remote participation is available!) I’m really excited to see the presentations and demos from the talented and cool humans part...

This is the first time I’m using my new Pi Docker version of the Indiekit Micropub server while I’m out! Wrote about my journey in the latest weeknote if you’re interested. And tomorrow is another IndieWeb Homebrew Website Club; where I’ll be a stand-in moderator for the first time. 😊 The more, the merrier—I’d love...

Came across a site called DI.Day. It’s currently only available in Deutsch, with English possibly coming soon. It purposes that every first Sunday of the month is “Digital Independence Day”, where people are encouraged to break free from Big Tech. The artwork and designs are bold and welcoming, and of course, I’m...

Troubleshooting FulfilmentsI don’t know about you, but I love working through and solving problems. That feeling of accomplishment, especially when it’s in a field you’re not familiar with, is awesome. What’s something you solved recently that made you feel this way? Feel free to send me a webmention if you reply...

Problem: High Latency and Lag on SSHMy little Raspberry Pi 4B homelab server has always been headless and accessed via SSH on my Mac. After upgrading the home router to the GL.iNet Flint2 last month, the SSH connection has been super flaky with severe lag. Wi-Fi packet loss was high with 21.6%, with high jitter (up...

Despite the disruption message still on status.sr.ht, SourceHut has been back up for me today. So I took the chance to implement what I worked on in the local bin/bash script a few days ago, into a version that works on the alpine/latest CI runner which uses bin/sh. I didn’t know this before—there’s two different...

I especially enjoy 4Connect because I love playing Categories and Connections. I first learnt of this game on the British game show, Only Connect. I don’t watch much TV, but this is a show Ilike.

I use Mermaid diagrams occasionally on my Hugo blog. It came with the theme I had so I learnt to use it. Just now as I was working on a draft post, I decided to make a diagram, and found out nothing was rendering at all for the whole site. I am not sure when/what caused it, but I couldn’t fix it quickly last night,...

My blog relies on SourceHut (aka sr.ht) Git repo and Builds (their continuous integration/CI, like GitHub Actions). They’ve been down for around two days and I couldn’t deploy my site to my static host, Bunny Storage (this is my affiliate link, I really like them, thanks for your support!) This triggered me to...

If you follow me on Mastodon or read my recent weeknotes, w12 and w14, you may have noticed fellow blogger, Hyde at https://lazybea.rs has posted my collaboration post for his Over/Under interview series! A few friends have told me they read it and enjoyed it, so I’m delighted to say the least. Hope I didn’t ramble...

WritingLast week I’ve written more than usual because Hyde has invited me to his long-standing interview series called Over/Under. I’m really honoured to be the 60th entry! Read it on Hyde’s blog and definitely check out the other entries while you’re there. The interview consists of an assortment of topics chosen...
