Welcome

After struggling with Astro for a long time, I upgraded my blog to 11ty yesterday.

Reposter exists because Mastodon discovery is uneven. Your home server only knows about part of the Fediverse, so followed hashtags can miss posts that are visible elsewhere.

I wrote a CLI app to export Dayone journals to markdown.

Install Kubernetes on CoreOS with a systemd unit file

It's so easy to switch a project from one language or framework to another these days.

I'm planning out a NAS for my homelab and am reading about Unraid vs TrueNAS. I'm comfortable setting up headless Linux computers without any GUI, so I don't really see the appeal of Unraid, except that it's capable of working with unmatched drives.

I'm really impressed with ActualBudget - it's very fast. I'm using the desktop app without a server so that is to be expected I guess, but wow!

I decided to take a look at ActualBudget today to plan my migration from YNAB and the process was so easy and straightforward that I was done in less than an hour.

I'm toying on porting my site from Astro to 11ty because I am a perfectionist and a micro-manager when it comes to generated HTML. I had my robot (ChatGPT 5.5) perform the port in under 10 minutes. I think AI is great for overcoming the initial inertia. Now I can tinker with the code for the next several days and tidy up all the loose ends.
