Last Notes npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip @nprofile…25dv so long and thanks for all the fish. Oh wait, that's what you say. Anyway, thanks and good luck. I've subscribed to your blog. npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip I have heard the mod's side of the story and do not believe the accusations of fascism at Fosstodon are accurate. It looks like a successful cancellation attempt by someone with a grievance against the mod, which if so sets a dangerous precedent for the viability of the Fediverse. I hope that team will release a statement clarifying the situation, as many people are concerned and confused, and not sure what to do given the lack of information (and indeed, any clear evidence...). npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip @nprofile…qfh3 nice. I thought of something similar, but I wanted to use my own domain. I eventually went with making my own private certificate authority, and trusting it on my devices. I should blog about that actually, thanks for the idea! npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip I made a #blog! This is the first post. It has #rss, please subscribe 💙 In this post I discuss some of the technical details and decisions I made while setting up the site. https://adamu.jp/blog/hello_world npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip @nprofile…25dv thanks, ironically don't have any machines that have a LAN port to try it with! npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip Trying to help someone change their wifi password, but the router seems to be on AP mode and I can't figure a way how to actually access its admin UI - the default IP doesn't work. Any ideas without resetting it? I know the MAC address... npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip @nprofile…uhf2 shared on RJ https://www.retirejapan.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=4305 npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip How cool are these?? https://www.royalmint.com/star-wars #starwars #royalmint npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip @nprofile…zfuh I feel like in Japan they have a contrast between "this is how it is, don't even think about changing it socially" e.g. a weird inefficient rule or process, but a "here's all the gory details, figure out what you want" for UI, which often comes with fixing issues by writing manuals that explains how to achieve the objective, rather than making the objective easier to achieve. npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip @nprofile…tfka the only infra I need at the other end is a locker 😌 npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip I got my off-site backup setup working again for the first time in years. The method: cycle backup disk across town and keep it at the office. Bring it home once a month to update. Hope the place doesn't burn down during the backup window (foiled over the last few years due to not having an office). npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip @nprofile…25dv @nprofile…s2gg it is amazing. I've been a YNAB 4 user for years, a die-hard since I didn't agree with the hosted model they moved due to privacy or cost concerns. I recently got set up with a locally hosted Actual instance which I can access from all my devices via VPN, and wishing I'd discovered it earlier rather than fighting to keep an increasingly rusty YNAB 4 running. npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip @nprofile…25dv Samsung npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip My right earphone always runs out of battery before my left earphone. Is my right ear listening harder, or something? npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip I was a bit worried that the eqrcode #elixir library had gone stale - last commit was 3 years ago and a PR I submitted to fix some warnings on Elixir 1.18 went unnoticed for a few days. ...but.. emailing the last person to commit to the repo to politely ask if it's still being maintained got the PR merged and a new version pushed to Hex 😌 https://hex.pm/packages/eqrcode npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip When I'm benevolent dictator, it will be forbidden to write blog posts (or books!) demonstrating how to do something without including how to write automated tests for it. Making it testable will considerably change the implementation. npub1rlkk7rqfqufkaludtxug8edx99w0pg9r2trehyrf5fvmscnr5z2s00jwxz Adam Millerchip Maybe we can bring back the old manually curated internet directories now search engines are full of slop?
