My Podroll
I previously wrote about how I wasn't listening to many podcasts anymore, but that has since changed. I've started listening to four more podcasts. On top of that, I am proudly paying for all of them. bigsofttitty.png - feed - An Australian couple's comedy podcast Stop Podcasting Yourself - feed - A long running Canadian comedy podcast Stores - feed - A podcast about going to stores The Flop House…

they like to say house of leaves can’t be an ebook because of how it’s written. these people have never seen a tech company’s codebase.

you cannot underestimate how much damage spacex has done to interest in space. even more impressive is how they took the excitement out of explosions.

Adding Gamja and Chat History to the Ergo Stack in Coolify
So with my last post on hosting an IRC server with Ergo with Traefik on Coolify (that's a mouthful) I tried my best to avoid digging too deep in to the Ergo configuration yaml . Today I don't think we will be so lucky. At 1,163 lines, at least it is well documented. Still overwhelming. This time we will be adding a database to store chat history and turning on WEBIRC so that Gamja actually works.…

Hosting an IRC Server with Traefik and Coolify
IRC is back on the menu! If you have not kept up with IRC, there's a whole IRC v3 spec that servers have varying support of that modernizes a lot of pain points like: you can log in on multiple devices now, see chat history, reply to specific messages, and even leave emoji reactions. I wanted to write out how I hooked up the IRC v3 supporting server Ergo to run through Traefik on Coolify. Oh, and…

Crystalline Blog
This month my wife, Vivianne , and I started a blog together. We're mostly blogging about things we like that we want to share with you. If you want to get an idea of why we started it, I recommend starting with The Introduction . Oh, and don't forget to sign the guestbook ! I have not dug in to why we chose to host it with Pika , so I will go in to that here. Yes, we could have done this with…

it’s the end of the year, time to start counting down the top 10 most worrying things i’ve said this year
Rayman 2 Redreamed
My wife is a huge fan of Rayman 2. So much so, she made me play it on stream when we were seperated by an ocean and a global pandemic. I think it was a test, you know, to see if we were compatible. So don't be shocked to see her name in the credits of this Unreal Engine fan made version of Rayman 2. It's perfectly familiar while being it's own thing. I really like what they've done and I want them…

Default Apps
Time for some new defaults. I've shaken up the things I could. I cut some categories out this year. I think in a lot of ways consumers have less choice than ever before, and I'm not here to promote the crap we're all forced to deal with. 🔖 Bookmarks: Linkding 🌐 Browser: Firefox † 📆 Calendar: Fantastical 📷 Camera App: Obscura 💬 Chat: Delta Chat 📨 Mail: Proton 🎺 Music: Navidrome , Amperfy ,…
In + From 2025
Damn, this year sucked. I have to assume we didn't enjoy much, but it's good to reflect on the things that did bring you some relief from all the fucked up shit. As I wrote this list I couldn't help but make peace with listing things that I know didn't see much widespread love. I'm probably not going to list your favorite things, your favorite things are for your list. This one is mine. Before we…
