My Personal Blog
While I generally enjoy using my various Apple devices, there are some major pain points and endless minor papercuts that I run into every day. Some of these would be understandable, even acceptable, in the v1 of a given service/app but instead of being fixed, they linger for years, untouched by the glacial yearly OS [ ]
Recently I wanted to set up nightly backups of my Postgres databases hosted on Neon.tech. Yes, they have backups and PITR but I knew I d feel better if I had backups just in case. My business runs on AWS and so S3 was the obvious destination. I took this as an opportunity to look into [ ]
I ll start by saying that I know nothing about the grocery store industry. But what I do know is technology and UI/UX. I ve seen improvements in Kroger s apps and its website over the past few years but it continues to lag behind its competitors. Not its fellow grocers, of which there seem to be few, [ ]
I ll be honest, I still think Mac Virtual Display (MVD) for the Apple Vision Pro (AVP) is lackluster. Though I think I have a better understanding of why some reviewers or tech bloggers/enthusiasts have sung it s praises.

Let me start by saying the Apple Vision Pro (AVP, sorry Apple, I’m not typing it out each time) is an amazing product but it has some significant limitations. I am still undecided on whether I will keep it or return it as my original main use case (replacement of my MBP monitors) isn’t up [ ]
There are multiple approaches to how best secure your self-hosted apps as well as multiple ways to reverse proxy your self-hosted apps but today I will focus on how I use Caddy, http.login plugin, and the http.jwt plugin to secure my apps. I have a number of self-hosted apps running on my home network and [ ]
I have a friend who is setting up a new Macbook for work and while this is not his first Mac it s the first he will be using as a daily driver in some time. I also am setting up a new Macbook I got from work and I have been sending my friend the [ ]
I have been a long time fan of Lexington Burger Week and Pizza week, and Crave, and Taco Week. I m also a fan of satirical food weeks. Ok I am just a long time fan of FOOD (and satire). Burger Week is a Big Deal™ where I work and so for the last few years [ ]
