I finally got around to self-hosting Home Assistant on my home server, and one of my early discoveries was that CO2 rapidly spikes into the warning zone when I’m working in my home office. Something to consider if you spend lots of time in a room without great ventilation.

I am intrigued by the growth of the IndieWeb, owning your domain and static websites. I certainly agree with the notion of not relying on big corporations and I have an ongoing project to divest my dependency on software produced by major market players. However, although I own my own domain, my website is hosted by Squarespace. I’ve not really had any problems with them over the last 11 years and I would describe our business relationship as equitable. However, the monthly subscription price ha…

Starting Over With the Pi
Since Oct of last year, I haven’t had time to reinstate my self-hosted apps like Calibre, Miniflux, Navidrome, etc on my little Pi homelab. During this time, I missed using Navidrome the most (I resorted to listening only on my Mac); with the only thing running on it being Indiekit with Docker.

But that changed yesterday! After chatting with a new sysadmin friend online, I got a huge surge of motivation to fix my home server to at least what I had before…

Yes, this is another post about that article. I recently posted a pretty heated article about another website I now regret the heatedness of. But what bothers me is the fact that instead of presenting counterpoints to me in a gentle manner, people went to the site itself to talk about me. Someone said, paraphrased, in the shoutbox of the site being discussed, "all I can think it's it's a result of severe mental illness". And... is that not, "Clearly you must just be a sad mentally ill person on…

It will be no surprise to the folks running Domain of One’s Own (DoOO) on their campus, but Reclaim has been in the process of rolling out a welcome upgrade to our flagship product. The long and the short of it is we’ve eliminated one-third of the trinity of software we’ve been using to run DoOO.
From the beginning, we have used WHM (the cPanel server software) in combination with WHMCS (the software that allows us to automate the creation of cPanel accounts), and finally WordPress as a wrapper…

I like to consider myself constructively lazy. I’ll put in a lot of work so I can do less work in the future, particularly if that work is boring and repetitive. Sometimes I’ll put in far too much effort for the possible future savings, but I still do it anyway just because I hate the repetitive stuff.
In this post I’ll touch on several things I’ve done on my blog server to make it theoretically easier to manage. WordPress update automation, WordPress backup automation, and Linux update/upgrade…

Owning media again
This year, one of my aspirations is to rely less on the big streaming services for my entertainment. Why? Well, for one thing, if we give too much power to large corporations by getting overly attached to their services, that leads to monopolies, inequality and ultimately, democratic decline. How’s that for a positive opening?
Finding alternatives is easier said than done, because Tech Morality is Hard, and I would generalise that to “Corporate Morality is Hard”. Namely, keepi…

If Emily Dickinson had written her poems on her Wordpress blog, her host would have deleted them outright when the bill came due. Instead, her sister found 1,800 poems written on paper and stored in a drawer. Words written on paper take an intentional decision to destroy them whereas words written online usually require an intentional decision to keep them. In this modern blogging age how do we make our writing last?
I do not have any important writing on this blog but I do want my family to hav…
