An old dog learning new tricks: UX designer and alpinist looking for our place in the world that doesn't need us anymore.

Finally time for my newbie server! Today I added a fresh 4TB drive and set up proper backups. Easy. Copied over all the images from the pc to the server to organize on nextcloud. Took a while.

Some images have the EXIF date missing. The filenames have the correct dates, so I need to sort that out. Even some with ok metadata aren't being indexed properly. Could be that I need to reindex them? Hope I get time to solve this soon.
Learning every day.

Meet the Figma design agent

https://youtu.be/vY5IoRVTnJs?si=0VwQZ1Ya7UCsI9oZ

Im optimistic about this new ai agent from Figma. After google stitch and Claude designer, this looks useful. It's what I always thought ai should be and what is able to do.
It was always silly to expect grand results from simple prompts, yet whole companies still do it today, instead of focusing on little gains, solving tedious repetitive tasks. Ai can do this, but it's not easy to implement it like that into an app.

With all its bridges and canyons, Constantine is one damn photogenic city. Kranj on steroids, as it's called by no one but me.

#ukraine #donate

I can't give much, but I donate monthly to United24 for Ukraine.

Today I saw reports how Russians are targeting civilians in city Nikopol. They are launching drones from a nearby nuclear power station, using it as a shield.

So I donated more to Sternenko Foundation which also funds interceptor drones.

I'd like to remind anyone calling for a new Nürnberg Tribunal that the original one was only necessary because Germans didn't respond appropriately to the evil shit Nazis were doing, when they were doing it. The tribunals essentially asserted that the German people would have been justified in using any force necessary to stop the Nazis, and that all who didn't try to use such force were complicit.

Sit with that for a bit and ponder the implications.

Finally got some time to setup nextcloud!
Im keeping cloudflare until it all runs well.
AI messed up when i couldn't access from outside and it gave me a million fixes when the issue was checking a service that didn't finish installing. Another time it messed up because access is through cloudflare.
Works now, great feeling!

Backup next!
One backup on a separate drive another to the cloud(encrypted). Good enough?
