Conner's Corner

I am trying to learn to skate again.

Oh boy, here is a blast from the past.

I mentioned last month I had changed the underlying tech driving this blog to be primary written in golang.

I have a client who sends me Word documents quite frequently.

Our home had a gas fireplace in our living room when we moved in.

Thursday I saw the headline “Wolves Trade Naz Reid to Hornets for LaMelo Ball”.

We have lived in our home for five years now.

I have a lot of excuses for not writing more, but recently I had a whole list of ideas of things to write and I got caught up in the problem of publishing too many things at once.

I wrote previously about using ipvlans in Docker.

I saw the question “How do you find the “why” behind old code decisions?”

Several months ago I decided to check out Slow Horses.

Inspired by a few things, but primarily Cliff’s Cliff Notes.

Two years ago I posted information on my homelab.

This fall, we did some updates to our dining room.

I have been in a bit of a “work” funk and have been spending maybe a bit too much time clicking around Kagi’s small web feature.

My homelab is the unfeeling brain of my home.

I recently had a friend bring up some efforts they were making to change how they budget.

My last post was back in April, not exactly meeting my goal of a post a week.

In preparation for rebuilding my home server with some parts sourced from eBay, I made a point to upgrade to the latest LTS version of Ubuntu.

I think I started running a “server” in my home sometime around 2009.

I’ve used Gnu Parallel in the past, and it’s an exceptional tool for processing a large number of tasks.

Here’s something dumb you can do with Tofu + HTTP state terraform { backend "http" { username = "${var.tfstate_username}" password = "${var.tfstate_secret}" address = "${var.tfstate_host}/client/${var.tfstate_team}/${var.t…

I used an Android application called Cinnamon for years to manage my grocery shopping.

I spent a bit of time over the past week and weekend learning a bit more about webmentions.

I finally finished one of the tasks I had remaining for joining the indie web.

I have used a Yubikey as the primary way of managing my OTP codes for several years now.

In a conversation with a colleague today I realized I have decided to no longer refer to LLMs as AI.

I am working on a longer post about how I have started using Mealie to organize my recipes and manage my grocery list.

I migrated my email away from Gmail a little over 10 years ago.

In my post about joining the small web, I discussed integrating this site with the IndieWeb network.

I started this blog for a couple of key reasons: to share my thoughts and to become part of the “small web.”

I bought Elden Ring during a Steam sale after it won all the awards in 2022.

In my previous home lab post I noted that I use Docker to run most of my services.

I was recently playing around with 1Password’s SSH key features.

I recently focused on bringing a “URL shortening” service in-house.

I recently decided to migrate some of my services from Terraform to OpenTofu.

I recently encountered an issue with an outdated Terraform configuration.

For many years, I’ve been transitioning my digital life onto servers (mostly) under my control.

I was scrolling through Instagram the other day and came across a post about resolutions.

One of the projects I’m currently involved with requires taking over a technical infrastructure that was built over the past 15 years.
