I finally found a solution to a long standing problem I've had... Dropbox not syncing on wakeup. Create a systemd daemon to `touch` a file after wakeup to trigger a sync event: https://200ok.ch/posts/2019-11-24_trigger_dropbox_on_linux_after_suspend_hibernate.html

This has been so frustrating for years, I would work on lectures at home on my desktop, get to work, open my laptop, and then wonder why the lecture wasn't syncing over...

Get Dropbox to sync on Linux after suspend/hibernate

When resuming after suspend or hibernate, Dropbox will not try to sync which can lead to conflicting versions. Follow this post to fix it.

@eleventy tagged the wrong account... I think the next quick post I write on my site will be about how I set up my 11ty 3.0 installation.

Finally got around to refreshing my website now running @eleventy 3.0 using Dokku as a PaaS on DigitalOcean... I'm hoping to start filling it out more in the near future.

3D Printed cuneiform objects from museum collections (h/t The British Museum and Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East for making their models publically available!) using UNB Library's Fabrication Lab. They were awesome to work with, the end results are fantastic. Can't wait to teach with them!
Pages CMS (https://github.com/pages-cms/pages-cms) plus @eleventy seems like a really cool match. I'll wait for 3.0 and then give it a try.

Coming soon to Eleventy Image: Almost-zero-config Image Optimization.

No more futzing with shortcodes, async versus sync-friendly template syntaxes, custom transforms, or markdown plugins.

Just write HTML and let our new transform plugin do the work for you.

I recently replaced the physical hard drive RAID-1 setup in my home desktop with a NVME SSD, the speedup is beyond amazing.

Today marks 22 years of using Linux... at least as dated from my first post to mailing-list seeking help to configure XFree86: https://www.mail-archive.com/newbie@xfree86.org/msg00443.html

It's certainly gotten better since then!
