  • Open on mastodon.social

General geek, gadgeteer, tea drinker, occasional photographer, wannabe musician, and liker of Oxford commas. Recovering sysadmin. Lefty woke liberal. 🏳️‍🌈

I tend to post about anything, often techy things, but of late occasional UK political things too.

I mostly write code in #Go (#golang) but lately I've been learning #Swift and #SwiftUI. I will touch #Python under duress. #Perl was my first real language and made me love writing code.

I thought I'd start migrating some of my Go code to a "vanity import" so I can start migrating some things off GitHub, so I wrote up a quick guide to doing that with nothing but Caddy

It's amazing seeing the Fediverse try to DoS a web server just from posting a link.

DHL UK really are fucking useless. Worse than EVRI, at least around here.

On Tuesday I got a notification that a delivery was on its way, due between 18:00-19:00. By 20:00 it still hadn't arrived and the driver was only halfway around the route.
Around 22:00 the tracker updated to say that at 20:00 it's "been delayed" and would come next business day. Retconned.
It did not come the next day.
This morning it now says it's at the depot and will be coming... two days ago.

OH LOOK. Once more I have upgraded hugo and once more it has totally broken with my existing config.

I really think I'm just going to hand-roll something. My needs are not complex.

Love to see this from The Verge https://www.theverge.com/report/901818/hbo-harry-potter-jk-rowling-transphobia

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

@Larvitz Great write up! One question: do you also have HTTP/2 enabled? The config you listed at the end looks like it would have the client start on 1.1. Just curious because I seem to recall Nginx having multiple ways of doing h2.

@Larvitz Do you use the http2 parameter on the listen directive, or the newer http2 directive?

@RYStorm@mastodon.gamedev.place I’ve noticed for years that they lie about mutual connections when you get a connection request. If person C sends a connection request to me and one of my connections (person B) and neither of us accepted yet, LinkedIn tells me B and C are mutual connections.

@piger@mastodon.social Does it depend on whether DNS gets forwarded to the host OS or does resolution itself?

@piger@mastodon.social AppleScript is really great. I used it a long long time ago, back when MacOS had the dashboard feature and I wrote a widget for it
