@Kyloma Great talk today! Great content, great presentation!
My main takeaway from Xavier’s opening #RailsConf2022 keynote on Zeitwerk is there’s a *lot* of unseen work that lets us have nice things.
Well, retiring for the night but got close. Watching #dokku deploy without having to touch ruby, node, nginx, postgres etc was magical 🪄
Hitting an error with the nginx template, but so close.
Why not try something new at the same time? Fiddling with #Dokku now...
Anybody tried getting a #vps from cyberia.club / capsul.org? Going to try and move my Digital Ocean droplet there tonight...

Can you trap a galaxy in a crystal ball? I tried! Back in 2018 I took this image of the Milky Way through a crystal ball from ESO's Paranal Observatory in Chile.

Please boost this post if you would like the EFF to join the fediverse. 
In a survey the EFF sent me, I suggested they create an account on the fediverse, so they can reach more supporters and support innovative free software that promotes interoperability among platforms, something they've advocated for in the past, too.
If you can boost this post, maybe I'll be able to show them that there are quite a few users who would like them here!
The EFF is the infamous nonprofit organisation that fights for privacy, government transparency, and digital freedom. Their fight is very important, and the EFF is very special to me. https://www.eff.org/about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_Frontier_Foundation
You can see some of their work here https://www.eff.org/work
In the meantime, you can follow @eff, which is an unofficial mirror of their Twitter.

I saw these Edward Steed cartoons of things he overheard at the zoo over a week ago and I have not stopped thinking about them since
My main barrier to #selfhosting is a static ip. My ISP charges ~ $75/mo for it and without it some requests are going to fail until the dynamic DNS updates - and it seems my IP changes often.
For something only I use, that's fine, but not for hosting a community service.
So, I pay DigitalOcean $6/mo until I find a better VPS provider and my #Pine64 #Rock64 mostly idles 🤷
IDK when it was added, but I can now schedule HomeKit actions via Siri, which is cool! E.g. Turn off X in 30 minutes 😎
Took me a bit to figure out how to run piscope to see the signals, but got that working, and now to decode the signals...
Wiring is now functional - powering the pi from the input terminals and a 120V -> 5V converter, and split the RJ45 jack to the control pad and hooked everything up to the pi GPIO.
Current weekend fun/hack project - controlling hot tub via raspberry pi.
Goal is to be able to schedule to monitor energy usage and save some energy and be able to heat/check temp remotely.
Excited about my new office mate. I have named him Fiddly, the Fiddle Leaf Fig. Look how happy he is gobbling up my CO2 and VOCs 😄

Well, ran apt update on my Pine Rock64 with Ubuntu installed and borked the whole thing. I guess just for the Pine support I'm a Manjaro/Arch user now 🤷
