Trapped in metspace. Trying to break out.

So I had to:

- install newer go (thanks, add-apt-repository)
- find which place in code I need to fix (thanks, Mozilla devtools)
- test it locally against my changes (thanks Docker-compose)
- transfer the image from my desktop onto VPS (literally two docker commands)
- run it there, set up reverse proxy and authentication (thanks, Nginx)

Everything super smooth, I always had a feeling of progress towards what I needed to solve!

I mean, I kinda like ranting about software and stuff, but today I am quite thankful for its state.
Over the course of just one evening I managed to
- evaluate several feed readers (thanks Docker)

Ended up with one decent (https://github.com/miniflux/miniflux), bit didn't like one thing about its interface.

miniflux/v2

Minimalist and opinionated feed reader. Contribute to miniflux/v2 development by creating an account on GitHub.

I think it's the first time I'm not even gonna consider software because of the author. I mean I don't care about pepe, but half of his forum posts are in a similar manner
I've been looking for a selfhosted RSS for one of my projects, ran into tinytinyrss and quite glad setup failed so I had to google and ran into this thread https://community.tt-rss.org/t/please-consider-permanent-redirects-as-permament/470
Please consider permanent redirects as permament

Note: I’m not an user of TT-RSS myself, but I have a blog that people with TT-RSS are reading. I currently have a number of people subscribed to old URLs of my feed, which are currently reporting a 301 (Moved Permanently) status to a new URL (namely /articles.rss → /index.xml). Despite 301 being a permanent status, TT-RSS does not update its storage of the URL and keep using the old URLs. While this is mostly an annoyance, it would about halve the bandwidth used by these installations.

I don't have a Christmas tree, but got something even better!
index -- as in, full text search index, powered by lunr.js

Was thinking how to publish my #orgmode notes (aka #exobrain or #braindump) similarly to these: https://wiki.nikitavoloboev.xyz https://braindump.jethro.dev

Gitbook (https://github.com/GitbookIO/gitbook) apparently has moved away from supporting their open source repository, so tried mdbook (https://github.com/rust-lang/mdBook) instead, worked really well!

So, basically org-mode -> org-publish to markdown -> mdbook to build nice html pages with index.

README

Trying out intrapage arrows for links in my blog (e.g. on top of this page https://beepb00p.xyz/sad-infra.html.
That way it's easy to see that that don't need to follow the link right now and you'll encounter it if you just keep reading.
Although I feel it's more of a job for browser extension.

Why can't we have nice digital things?
