Caddy experience: from ”search for a QuickStart” to ”actually migrated some give services”: 30 minutes flat. Configuration shrank at least an order of magnitude, and now contains no boilerplate at all unless you count two curly braces per service. It *also* eliminated certbot and all its config […]

Ok I should absolutely have ditched nginx for caddy the second I had trouble. Caddy really is the reasonable defaults server in precisely the way nginx isn’t.

Why did I just spend two hours I could have used for sleeping or at least doing something fun *not * getting nextcloud to work? I have open store so, so, so much. This isn’t even technically difficult, it’s just massively completed for no good reason.

I’ve been thinking about ”everything’s computer”. It was funny because it certainly feels like everything is these days.

Except the more I think about it the less I think everything is computer. In fact, fewer and fewer things are computer. Computers frequently aren’t computer.

A computer is a […]

Super weird; my nextcloud nginx conf just…stopped working. I hadn’t done anything, even reloaded nginx, and it suddenly just stopped sending traffic to my Nextcloud. It loads the file fine and shows no warnings but the site never receives traffic. Weird thing is I haven’t touched the machine […]

"Inkomstgapet mellan kvinnor och män har varit oförändrat i tre decennier. Kvinnor har fortfarande bara cirka 80 procent av mäns disponibla inkomster.

Cooking tip: you can make great mock kebab from dried bean curd sticks if you soak them, cut them into roughly kebab-sized chunks, and fry them with kebab spices (plus eg vegeta or whatever) in tons of oil!

I still find it baffling that Apple’s data retention plan for health data is to retain all data, forever, and to not even allow purging any part of it. Like, do they know the amount of gigabytes a couple of years’ worth of sleep tracking, pulse measurements, workouts etc will take up? How […]

Min bank har upprepade gånger spärrat mitt betalkort. Det är ganska meckigt med nekade betalningar, avbrutna abonnemang, uppdatera uppgifter och allmänt strul.

Idé till aktivitet: skramla ihop sin lokala Linuxanvändargrupp med anhang och organisera en workshop på sitt lokala bibliotek där man hjälps åt att felsöka, dokumentera och om möjligt lösa problem folk som kommer dit har.
Uppsala stadsbibliotek har en workshop där de lär folk att installera Linux på sina datorer som inte kan uppdatera till Windows 11 https://bibliotekuppsala.se/evenemang#/events/ef71b5d3-9dae-4445-8d6b-0f576e0f285b

Why do keyboard people insist on building tiny keyboards with like five buttons? Give me a numpad, f keys and at least two modifiers I’ve never heard of before. Make the space cadet keyboard seem underwhelming!

Is it because the stupid switches are so expensive?

apple, google, & microsoft have bolted some annoying surveillance and social-control shit onto the side of their solutions to these problems. those solutions are complex and their merits are absolutely debatable. in some cases the medicine may in fact be worse than the disease. but if your […]

One of the problems with modern applications is that the assumption that users can’t handle files has led to applications having to implement every possible feature rather than having separate applications operate on the same file. A separates and relayed problem does the exact same with windows
