((lambda (x) (create x)) '(knowledge))

Boy I feel like this post has been a long time in the making.

This project has been finished for a while now, about 6 months or so, and I feel pretty confident that this system is set to stay unlike the last samba & MADM setup I blogged about when I first started Lambdacreate.

I've recently had a number of friends migrate over to Alpine linux, and a couple of them have also become package maintainers!

The transition from year to year is always fun, it's a time to reflect on what has been accomplished, and start looking towards what you'd like to do.

Holy cow, it's the end of the year already, that's absolutely ridiculous on a lot of different levels.

So I sat for my LFCE (Linux Foundation Certified Engineer) certification exam on the 19th, and it's safe to say that I don't think I did particularly well.

This is a short one, and a weird one, obviously my blog is not in any way shape or form geared towards Windows, or anything Microsoft for that matter.

Disclaimer: This may seem a bit long winded and bloated, I apologize in advance.

A few weeks ago I stumbled across this wonderful little blog post written by Solene, where she and a cadre of like minded friends spent a week using only their oldest computers.

Anyone who uses IRC these days is aware of what happened to Freenode, so I won't go into details on any of that, but for me the exodus from Freenode resulted in a trifurcation of weechat configuration nonsense.

As I regain some semblance of myself, and my free time, I'm going to try and ramp back up the blog posts.

I've spent most of today, and really the last month, actually lets step back even further.

We're ushering in the new year with an absolutely bizarre, but as far as I'm concerned wonderful Unix distro called Plan9!

Notice Thanks to an absolutely delightful contribution from Jesse Laprade Lambdacreate now has a compliant RSS feed!

I've recently re-fallen in love with MikroTik equipment.

At Chenmark a lot of what I've been doing up to this point has been building infrastructure, but every once in a while I get to step back and write a tool with a purpose to bridge a gap.

I feel like a lot of the time I'm playing with blocks, like I grew up doing, as I've watched my son do as he's progressed.

There's been a ton going on since my last post.

I recently joined a new online community.

Life moves at a constant steady clip.

For a few years I've been running a RHEL server for my bulk storage, and as a small home hypervisor.

Site Update!

Thanks to the willingness of Technomancy & Jaawerth to answer my ever growing font of questions, I've gotten a wrap on Macros in Fennel.

It's here!

From time to time I get a little lost trying to translate Lua to Fennel, and while the language resource is an absolute blessing to have, sometimes I need things spelled out for me explicitly.

As I guessed in my last post, I spent a large portion of the drive up to Maine working on toAPK, specifically on my little Nokia N900.

In the midst of a move, and faced with a 23 hour drive across nearly the entire Eastern sea board, I get to put my mobile systems to the test!

In just a few days, I'll officially be a Mainer.

SBCL 2.0.3 was just accepted into Alpine Linux, I'm finally looking at a high possibility that it will be compilable on musl libc for aarch64, and all of that means I might finally be able to move SBCL out of Alpine's testing repo and into Community.

I truly love working in the Open Source community.

Ever since finding Docker containers a couple of years ago I've been using them obsessively.

In the first post I eluded to the fact that LambdaCreate is written in Lua, and then I completely ignored that to talk about Docker.

Welcome to Lambda Create!

Lambda Create is written in Lua, with etlua for HTML templating and runs inside of a Lapis Docker container.
