I’ve forgotten more about CS fundamentals than you’ve ever whippersnappered

Not usually, but Chris Cornell hit me hard. I had no connection other than loving his music and everything he did for Seattle musicians in the late 80s and early 90s, but I still think about it.

I have it on good authority there is also a highway to hell.

In my day vibe coding meant a delivery pizza, loud music, an eighth, and no other plans for the day.

I’ve ended up with a pretty decent vinyl collection doing this. A lot of artists sell record releases on their merch store.

Janeane Garofalo circa Reality Bites.

I like that you can date so many things since the pandemic by BDG’s hair.

Recently it’s been Los Ageless by St. Vincent. I can’t get the steel guitar out of my head.

First set up your certificate in the SSL tab of NPM. You can either upload a traditional certificate or set up LetsEncrypt. Be aware that starting next spring the maximum length of a certificate will drop to 9 months and continue to decrease over the next few years until its 47 days.

I have mine set up so LetsEncrypt gets a wildcard cert for my domain (via DNS challenge). Some people go with per subdomain certs.

Once you have the cert, go you each of your hosts and switch to its SSL tab. Then select your cert. Then I usually turn on “Force SSL”

Or if I feel the need to be rude toward a man: 3 feet + your penis

Sometimes you need a comforting Pat. Especially after a visit from Peg.

I love it when names are verbs. Pat, Bob, Peg, Pat, Chase, Rusty Trombone. Stuff like that.

My brain broke a bit the first moment I realized that, if I had a kid the same age my mom had me (early 20s), that child would be over 21.

I use Nginx Proxy Manager running as a docker container. Its a gui that makes administration more straight forward. It points at all my services (docker and otherwise) and handles the SSL for me. Because I don’t want to have any ports open I use DNS challenge ACME and NPM has built in support for a number APIs from large public DNS providers to automate that.

The last advice my therapist ever gave me will hang with me forever: “If you’re not willing to open up to me you won’t get much from these sessions.”

I think they were featured on Penn and Teller’s old show Bullshit!

A perfect place for succulents

Thank you for that. Its surprising how long that takes to answer when I see some release announcements. Especially over on Mastodon.

Animal Detective: The dog you’re looking for weighs close to 200lbs, walks exclusively inside shoe prints, and (based on the trash in the area) is fond of playing Edward 40 Hands.

I’ve always appreciated that the black rat’s name is Rattus rattus. It’s the rattiest rat that’s ever ratted, it’s right there in the name.
