This will be a short post, but I must write about it so I don’t waste time again next time I have the problem… While I was reinstalling from scratch my uConsole with Debian Trixie (as the upgrade from Bookworm does not work) and writing my next post about my full uConsole setup, I stumbled upon a weird error when trying to connect to it via SSH. After the fresh install, I ensure that SSH was enabled at start and currently running, I review the configuration where I disable root access but...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
I’ve started my selfhosting somewhere between 2005 and 2007 (I don’t exactly remember…), a long, long time ago! I have a lengthy and unfinished draft to talk more about that story, but I read a blog post from Valère (in French) a couple of months ago that sparks this particular post in the meantime. I’m not going to talk about the basics of “why selfhosting”, the usual things around privacy, owning your data, freedom, etc… One reason I’ve been so into selfhosting on top of th...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
Introduction I (not so) recently received my clockworkpi uConsole and didn’t took the time to play with it yet as June, July and early August where full of way too many pro and personal things… But I took the time during the weekend to set it up using a custom debian ISO build for it that worked great. But more on all that later. The first thing I wanted to do after the OS installation (and updates) was to encrypt my home directory. If I want to bring this device with me often, I want to ...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
Weird idea: #Selfhosting 5 different #finger servers (all named after a finger, eg: thumb.finger.bacardi55.io, index.finger.bacardi55.io, middle.finger.bacardi55.io, …) with 5 different goals: latest tinylog entry, latest gemlog, latest blog post, and other useless thing… I know there is absolutely no good reasons to do so except “because I can” and “it would make me laugh”… So we’ll see if I one day find the time and motivation to do so even though I have way more important t...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
I received my #clockwork #uconsole 2 weeks ago, but because I was sick and then had to travel for work, I haven’t been able to play with it since I got it… My short term goals: Install debian bookworm Encrypt only my home directory (I think full encryption might be to harsh for micro sd card) Install emacs, syncthing and git so I can write and publish from it Install some retro gaming (best rpg games were made for SNES anyway!) What I don’t know is what am I going to do with the keyboad...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
After reinstalling my NAS last week-end (using OpenMediaVault) due to mistakes on my part, I wanted to use some data stored on my NAS from an LXC container managed on my proxmox cluster. In my head, it was supposed to be very straight forward… But if I’m writing this now, it means it didn’t go as planned :D. Creating the NFS shared directory was as simple as planned: Using the OMV web UI, I created in a few minutes a new NFS (v4) shared folder, with read-only permissions and limited to ...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
https://blog.pomdtr.me/posts/tweety-v1/ While I have nothing against the writer of this post and I don’t care if they decided to use their terminal within their web browser, I do believe this is yet another example of how we broke our use of computer and the web in general… « Everything should be a web app » is just a very bad idea for so many reasons that I’m too tired to enumerate here. A side effect is seeing so many CLI/TUI application developped in JS/Typescript/NodeJS. I don...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
Just discovered that an android application for #readeck already exists! I wasn’t aware of that and that might be a game changer for my readeck usage as it does provide offline usage! https://github.com/jensomato/ReadeckApp Will try it later today!| Bacardi55's Web Cave
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/future-of-pocket So mozilla is shutting down pocket… Yet another good move from them /s. I guess they need the money to develop more AI bullshit and focus their R&D money where their own users don’t want it to go… Anyway, I’ve never used that tool anyway, but I can strongly advice using either #wallabag or #readeck . Both are great tools! Readeck is faster and has a better and more beautiful UI. But Wallabag has a phone app that can import articles...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
That’s the 3rd time today that I had to reach out to someone because they deployed an anti AI service like #anubis or #goaway . I have nothing against these people that just try to protect their service / assets from these shitty bot scrapping the web like they own it (when normal people do it, they get sued though)… That’s what the AI slop is giving us right now: shitty AI services that most don’t care about (and the one that does should be a lot more careful about their results) and...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
Hey, we have checked your website and it looks like SEO isn’t working properly, and it’s also not ready for AI-based ranking. We guarantee TOP3 placement on search results for a very affordable price. You can WhatsApp us: [redacted] Just received this spam for the 2nd time in a couple of days… What they don’t know is that: I don’t care about SEO. This sh*t has been broken for a long time anyway. “Not ready for AI-based ranking” is actually a great thing to me :D Seriouly though,...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
I just love email conversations that I sometimes have with other bloggers or people that read some of my blog posts. Most people reaching out (or people I reach out to) are nice and open. And it often sparks new thoughts and ideas in a very positive manner! As written in my about page: I’m happy to receive any messages regarding this site or its content, would it be a short or an extensive message, in French or in English, on any of these channels So always feel free to reach out!| Bacardi55's Web Cave

I really like that I can now write one microblog entry and decide to deploy it on both or either my website (as notes) and/or on my capsule as a tinylog entry! I need to write more about this, but basically it goes like this: write in emacs/orgmode the entry using a capture template to preformat the entry (specially the frontmatter) Indicate in the frontmatter the channel: “tinylog” and / or “website” Optionnaly add a element to indicate it is a response to someone (used only on tinyl...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
I love my new Dygma Raise 2 keyboard! Mandatory picture: (This is mainly an entry to test my new micro blogging workflow for my tinylog and on my website)| Bacardi55's Web Cave
My previous post explained my journey with keyboards that lead me to the Dygma Raise 2. It is now time to write my actual review of this awesome keyboard! The purchased configuration First, let’s talk about the configuration I chose for my Dygma Raise 2: Color: white (to change my usual black keyboard) Language: English UK (ISO keyboard layout) Switches: Kailh Box White (clicky, the closest to cherry MX Blue) Wireless: Yes (low latency radio frequency and bluetooth) Tenting: Yes (ability to...| Bacardi55's Web Cave
Today, I decided to over-complicate my deployment workflow… again! Or maybe simplified it… I am not sure 🤣…| bacardi55.io

Say differently: « Forcing creativity by adding constraints » :D.| bacardi55.io
Nota: This post was supposed to be a review of the Dygma Raise 2 keyboard, but ended up being about my story with keyboard to arrive to the Dygma Raise 2… It is already way too long so I decided to stop there and I will write another post to do an actual review instead of writing a post too long to read :-). If you care only about the review, wait for the next post!| bacardi55.io
I’m still working on deploying again my blog to gemini, and now that I can export gemini links from orgmode to markdown, it was time for the next step(s). I decided years ago to kiln, a simple capsule generator, because it was simple yet close enough to my ways of working with Hugo for my website. The important points are:| bacardi55.io

A bit more than a week ago, we welcomed home a new member in our household: a little female puppy called Vinnie (In France, each year you have to choose a name starting with a specific letter. It is weird but that’s how it is… And 2024 is letter V). If you want to see a picture, you can look at here. First day/night was quite tough as she became sick (I assume due to the stress) and threw up all night and we had to go to find a vet’ less than 24h after she arrived home on a Sunday… Bu...| bacardi55.io
I took last week (and yesterday) off, which was a nice break from work as usual. But did I go anywhere? Not this time! This time, events aligned nicely for some nerds activities: my partner went away for 2 weeks on the 20th and on the 21st, Factorio 2.0 was released as well as the new big extension space age! The announcement was a long time ago and the wait is finally over!| bacardi55.io

Today, a short blog post to announce that I’m going to retire my matrix server in the coming weeks. It means that I will no longer be reachable via matrix at the @bacardi55:mtx.bacardi55.io. While I don’t have a specific date, it will be either around end of August or early September, depending on other things.| bacardi55.io

I’m not officially participating in the replyjuly challenge because I didn’t really like the pressure of all these blog challenges (maybe more on that later) even though I often enjoy and follow them. But I do like the idea of responding to each other via our blogs. That’s one of the key concept of webmentions from the IndieWeb community that I like the most.| bacardi55.io

Hello everyone!| bacardi55.io
Yet another non usual technical blog post today… But something I have been thinking about for a few weeks… So I thought that writing it here might get it out of my system (and maybe raise intersting responses). Maybe with the reply july challenge (even though I’m not officially participating), I’ll get some interesting feedback :).| bacardi55.io
