I brought back a few more sites by re-aiming DNS for my domains at an #AlmaLinux 9 VPS that runs the #Caddy web server and did some builds in #Hugo and #Zola, so now I'm also running:

https://zola.passthejoe.net

https://wruby.passthejoe.net

I have been maintaining this VPS in terms of doing updates, but I didn't know I still had the web server running, and at least one of these domains was already aimed at it. Now all 4 are working.

I thought I would give up the server, but I like the ease with which I can add sites in Caddy, and it's been a very reliable environment. It's a low-RAM VPS -- 512 MB -- so I had to set up a swap file just to get it to dnf upgrade. There's enough RAM to run the web server, but it's no powerhouse.

The kind of immediate writing I did in that microblog -- which went to Mastodon anyway -- was easy because I used a script in the terminal is better done in a "real" microblog like snac2, but it's nice to have an archive of what I was thinking (and typing into my Ruby script).

I haven't done a programming project like it (https://github.com/passthejoe/blogPoster) ever since, and I should. I want to do something that's a desktop GUI, and programs that help me write and publish blog posts with less friction still have a lot of appeal.

The social media paradigm of "type into the box, hit send" is still pretty powerful. All the things you need to add to a post (title, tags, categories, images) just makes everything take longer, and in my case it makes me write less, or write fewer shorter posts. That's good or bad, I guess, depending on how you look at it.

I still think @bt@bsd.cafe has the right idea with his simpler static site blogging systems https://btxx.org/projects/

Hi all. I’m Adam (adenoz), and this is my first time on the Fediverse.

I’m an Australian data professional, and I’m typically always working on at least one side project at any one time. I won’t be writing about my $work, but I will happily write about my various side projects and interests.

I really enjoy working with #duckdb and #ggplot2 as well as finding ways to use #rustlang and tools written in rust. I have a blog built with #zola where I’ll keep writing longer form things.

I like keeping up with global events and geopolitical related matters. I especially like combining those themes with data. Simple examples of interesting things include GDELT, news text like in Factiva, and Google Trends data.

At the moment, I’m writing a native mac app that will be a query and analytics studio. That’s all I have for now on that, though more will come in due course.

I like #linux, using #nushell and #HelixEditor, as well as the great software on #macos. My current favourite IDE is #zededitor. Sometimes (often?), I’m torn between Linux and Mac for very different reasons.

I’m now rambling, so I’ll stop there for now.
