Did a degree in CS. Hopefully will figure out how to be useful one day

Tech stack: :grapheneos:          #bravebrowser #joomla #jetson ... etc

Most toots from a power-user perspective.

Day job: happy tech support person

Free time: trying to code the things I want that don't exist, avoiding exercise and housework

Are we all passwordless yet??

I'm hanging out for it, both because I hate passwords and because I am tech support so I get "I forgot my pw" phone calls

Do people really write entire apps in React that load a ****ton of code into the browser, then load data with a smidge of REST API instead of a decent backend

ffs

surely i'm missing something, why would you do that

hello tech debt my old friend
I've come to upgrade ubuntu and break all my php apps and fix them again

people hearing wtihout listening
people coding without thinking

and the words of the coders are written on the browser wall .. oops

managed to get SSH working over IPv6!! wheee :happydance:

+1 to Vultr for having good docs

This week's fun game at work: one specific model of laptop randomly enabling screen rotate after a windows update, and people calling tech support because their screen's upside down and they can't work out why
OK forget about the Kotlin and Swift part. Web app it is, for now anyway

Next tech project: porting my php server-side app to a single-sign-on, web/mobile app bonanza.

Today's #pinetime appreciation post:

I finally got a pinetime recently, and the thing that's made the most difference isn't notifications, having a step counter, nor the timer. The thing that's made the biggest difference is the 'chime'!

It can be set to buzz once on the half hour and hour, and I turned it on out of curiosity; unexpectedly, it's helping with time blindness by pulling me out of what I'm doing and making me realise when I'm losing hours to something.

how it started
"Hugo sounds well supported and straightforward, this'lll be a good way to boostrap a static site into existence"

how it's going

installed debian pkg... version too old
installed snap... wouldn't run ("hugo doesnt exist")
went back to debian one anyway
pulled down git submodule for "template"
build and run...
blank page
attempt to create page
error, error, some other error

... maybe i should just go back to jekyll, it worked last time

Google podcasts is going away? wait, what...

I mean it's google, but it will push a lot of mainstream providers into apple podcasts and soundcloud

What's the a good GrapheneOS app (Fdroid or play store or apk, any) for following RSS feeds and podcasts at the moment, anyway?
