Fed up with Cerbot’s shortcomings. Initial experiment with Apache mod_md went well. For nginx users, their acme module looks good too.
Upgrade my main Borgbackup instance past the scary CVE-2023-36811 mitigation ("borg check might delete all your backups") line in the sand, and the world didn't end. yay
OK! One more correction done, 40/55. Need a palette cleanser from that now. Over to work-head…
@pwaring It's been tricky. I need to submit soon to make my scheduled graduation, so that helps a bit. Re-jigging how I present my progress to myself helped: e.g. "39/55" isn't very motivating, but observing that I'm completely done with the first 4 chapters is much more uplifting.
My PhD workspace is already open (workspace "1"). I've done all the corrections for chapters 1-4, and most of the "general points", leaving chapters 5-7. 6-7 are short lists. 5 is the remaining "meat". That's where I am focussing this morning. The specific piece of feedback I'm starting with is to work in another citation.
quicky find some background music to put on whilst I work. Launch navidrome in one tab and bandcamp in another. Find a Scanner album on Bandcamp pretty quickly, let's go with that https://quietdetails.bandcamp.com/album/forces-reactions-deflections
check mail quickly via aerc and imap. I'll miss this when it's gone. $NEWJOB is a Microsoft customer and the login SSO ceremony for that often takes 5-6 attempts before it works.
move the bits of detritus on my desk into a neater pile to my right. First order of the day is PhD corrections. Well, I'll sneek peak my work mail incase there are any fires to put out.
Boot laptop, unlock screensaver, turn on sound card (external mixer), turn on stereo amp (mixer runs into it), switch display input to the laptop (it was left set to a desktop), hit super+p a few times until laptop and display agree they are connected. Write this toot.
Too many steps?
I’ve been to Powells. An amazing place. https://bsky.app/profile/johnmoe.bsky.social/post/3m2drtku36224
I have a surplus tex shura with soldered cherry mx red switches. My new one came with ANSI legends. Hence the question!
If you were to buy a second-hand, iso-layout keyboard, which would be better: second hand iso (GB) keycaps or brand new ANSI keycaps (with the en_US/en_GB mismatches between labels and key codes)?
@jwildeboer @sherbang I’ve been planning something similar, but seeing if I can make my blog’s posts first-class objects in the Fediverse themselves, so I don’t need to write a separate toot. It might require too much server side machinery for my static site. Not sure
