    I had a bit of a headache with this one. The goal was to be able to run Ansible in a Docker container, that would provision and interface with a VM Ware guest. The issue I ran into, on two different Mac’s running Sequoia was that none of the containers were able to access the…

    NB! I am _not_ critical of the project or the functionality or even the documentation on a whole. It’s mostly great! Now, back to the story. I had an assignment at work that consisted of finding a viable database backup solution for a Laravel project. One of the suggestions was to use laravel-backup from Spatie.…

    I wanted to exclude a category from my home page, as to not clutter the feed(?) with every single post I do. I was contemplating between making an inclusion or exclusion type of filtering, but I couldn’t really find the former, so exclusion it was. Having googled a little, I made a choice between two…

    Ugh. Today I had to spend 30 minutes figuring out how to get rootless podman to run on zfs. The gist of it is to configure podman to use /usr/bin/fuse-overlayfs as its “mount_program”. This is what I found on Reddit that worked out for me on Ubuntu 22.04 with ZFS disk encryption enabled Now, I…

    I’ve had a sorta kinda Pebble alternative on my arm for some months now and thoroughly enjoy the refound love for developing on a wrist watch that doesn’t need to recharge three times a day. It’s been a bit of a roller coaster to get started developing for it (wth is “Web Bluetooth?… oooooh, interesting.…

    Last updated on 2021-10-14, read the summary I have had enough. It’s bad enough that social media has become the scourge of the Internet, but that doesn’t mean key services such as email should have to be stronghold(ed?) by Big Corp such as Google, Microsoft, and other massive vendors. The Internet was built on a…

    This is another post in the series about WordPress discoverability for the people wanting to not put all their eggs in one basket by handing over all their content creations to walled gardens such as Google+, Facebook, Twitter, etc. The problem about discoverability is one of the toughest challenges to overcome; with walled gardens, everyone…

    We all do it. I mean, it’s not really a choice is it? It’s just something that has to be done more frequently than changing socks. I’m of course talking about reinstalling Windows. Because, man, is this a totally non-hardened OS or what? You can go to one ad-powered website and get a whole slew…

    add_filters seem to have its use in a WordPress context. However, debugging them is shit. And there are not a whole lot of good examples around to explain how to work with them. I was trying to figure out a way to modify the colour defaults for the quotes component in AESOP Story Engine, and…
