Moved my blog to potyarkin.com after the whole Freenom fiasco. I knew that the free lunch was going to come to an end eventually, so no hurt feelings. So long, Freenom! And thanks for all the fish!
Apparently, ping 8.8.8.8 does not work in GitHub actions. It's blocked either by Google or by GitHub themselves :-)
Recently I've started to prefer Golang over Python for my hobby projects.
Easy to distribute binaries and easy concurrency have outweighed initial superfluous rejection over use of tabs for indentation and "err != nil" everywhere.
Also, golang dependency ecosystem at least gives me some hope that years down the line some old project of mine will remain buildable. Of course, this may turn out to be just a beginner's illusion :-)
Hooray! I'm not running any Debian Buster instances anymore!
I'm only two weeks late - approximate EOL date is 2022-08-14, exactly one year since Bullseye release. Not a great timing, but not too bad for a homelab.
I love seeing green in unit tests.
Sometimes when I'm procrastinating I'll just rerun a 'make test' even though I didn't modify any code. Green lines dropping into terminal are just pretty...
D-Link DIR-825 retrofitted with a conventional 5.5x2.1mm power connector. The router at my parents' is now functional again!
I'm surrounded by failing hardware. UPS that "protects" my home server has a dead battery. Router at my parents' home has a dead power supply.
Such small failures are tiresome to fix. Frankly, it's cheaper and easier to toss bad device to a landfill than to fix it.
Yeah. Landfills. I'll try to remember about them next time I'm grumpy with a multimeter in hand
Yeah... As if it could be that easy ^_^
'git push' failed with a 'no user exists for uid' and I had to dig through OpenSSH code to learn that it's not fixable: https://potyarkin.com/posts/2022/no-user-exists-for-uid/
So now my container is sporting an ugly setuid binary and everyone is happy :-) https://github.com/sio/microblog-server/blob/…
Microblog backend is finally deployed to my home server!
Obligatory cat picture
Hello world!
This is my first attempt at microblogging!
