Micro Blog

When I shutdown my Facebook and Instagram accounts, years ago, I switched to more open source friendly social media service networks; Pleroma was my first stop in the Fediverse. Since then I’ve maintained several Fediverse accounts and now BlueSky and Nostr.

My Micro Blog project aggregates all these posts from various accounts backs them up and makes them all available here on my personal site.

Summery of accounts and features supported

Never seen a suite of cli tools with such cool graphics! Makes me want to try them just from the aesthetic.

I was in a Lisp mood and thanks to my new on-prem Nomad cluster spinning up Docker containers is super easy.

Tried Racket lang for the first time, avoiding the headache of Java errors from Clojure. Was pretty fun. Actually got it to do something useful. Didn't get a chance to to try the language oriented programming features though.

typedoc is a cool project for turning your Typescript types into a documentation website.

typedoc.org/

made a repo to show how to set it up with gitlab pages: git.sr.ht/~travisshears/typedo

Container orchestration in the homelab context?

Docker compose doesn’t handle cluster of nodes.
Docker swarm no UI.
Kubernetes over kill and hard to maintain.

I went with nomad. It’s not without gochas, but so far works well.

Got my self-hosted site analytics up and running again. I like how clean and simple Umami is.

Started a Homelab project to self-host my personal site and a few other services. So far the struggle is real. Every time I get past a bug another one presents itself.

Once upon a time I did some diy etching. After many tests to get the correct exposure, chemical procedure, and drill bit I made one glorious circuit board. Unfortunately was mirrored incorrectly and didn’t work.

Since then the kit has been gathering dust and my light sensitive copper plates have expired.

Someday I’d love to try again. If you are in Brussels go for it.

Also try wire wrap.

Perched on a bench overlooking the port I’m googling the big ships. Computer controlled sails, three masts, with plenty of room for guests this boat, docked just below, is a beast. Owned and operated by Windstar Cruises. Seems to be fairing better than its sister ship.

“Swing swing” followed by gleeful laughter comes from the hammock. It stretches between two trees at the base of a quarry rock wall. My daughter and I play.

“On belay”, “belays on”, “climbing”, “climb on” a friend and I repeat the mantra as I head up the wall.

My NAS is a Synology two bay. Was planning to eventually upgrade to one of their bigger ones; but after hearing they will only support their own HDDs going forward, nope.

New favorite specialty coffee cafe in Vienna. Good Coffee Society near Prater. Super good service, yummy pancakes, and as name suggests good coffee.
