Several months ago I bought the operating systems book by Andrew Tanenbaum. It keeps looking at me from my shelf, imploring me to finish reading it.

Been looking into Kubernetes today. Don't know if it's something I will use at this point. I do a fair amount of containerization but not so much running of applications across multiple nodes.

Stumbled across this article at Luke Smith's website a couple of days ago. I totally agree.

You should only be using an old computer

I just try to like Emacs, but always end up coming back to Vim. It's just so much snappier.

For the past litle while I have been using Lagrange as my Gemini client but am giving Amfora a go for a while. It's terminal-based and most importantly has vim-style keybindings out of the box.

I've decided that I will download the binary release of Racket 8.0 directly and symlink to it from my ~/bin directory for now...

I wonder when the Arch Linux repoistories will update their version of Racket to 8.0. Racket 8.0 has been out for a month or so now but we're still on v7.9 in the Arch repos.

It's been a while. The last few weeks I've been looking into Docker quite a bit. Went a bit crazy in fact. I've containerised:

KeepassXC

Claws Mail

Brave

Lagrange

Racket

Gvim

Regining back a bit on it now though. Mainly because images end up being fairly massive, and also because I'm not sure that managing updates is the best taking this approach. Will probably keep stuff like lagrange containerisd though, as I build that from source anyhow so I can just update my Dockerfile with the latest version.

Made my first reader language in Racket today. This should *really* simplify adding new Wikimedia gateways to Barnard68. I can now do it by adding a file, and doing the following:

.. and that's it.

Might want to change wikimedia-base-url to wikimedia-hostname though I guess...

Added a wiktionary gateway to Barnard68. It's pretty easy to just add new Wikimedia gateways now I've gotten one working.

Been a couple of days; it's been a fairly action-packed weekend

Joined tilde.club. It's pretty cool :)

Added the below-mentioned hackernews script to Barnard68

Cooked a killer roast pork dinner

I think tomorrow I might begin writing a gateway so I can read Hackernews in gemini. Looks like there's an API I can use to get links to the latest articles.

Done a bit of work on my little Gemini->Wikipedia gateway. It displays subheadings now. Which is nice. It's sat on the Raspberry Pi on my LAN to serve up some minimalist wiki goodness whenever I fancy it.

21:00

I thought I would write something here tonight. But then I decided I probably wouldn't.

Barnard 68

Pushed my first Gemini project today. At the moment it's just a script that provides a bit of a gateway to Wikipedia from Gemini but may gain additional stuff to do more things sometime soon.
