About Me on Tyil

A li’l twist on the BBQ basic SPG, or Salt Pepper Garlic, rub.

In my last post, I noted that I was pretty happy with the current state of my homelab setup.

I enjoyed making a post last year to reflect upon what’s keeping me busy, or what caused me to not be busy, so I was thinking to do it again!

This is the initial release of Dashlab.

I was hoping to make a final blog post this year detailing the latest changes I made to my homelab.

It appears to be November already, my Fedi timeline is full of people talking about how this is the month to do some writing if you are so inclined.

A simple fruit syrup for making a fresh lemonade.

A simple yet flavourful sambal, popular on the Indonesian island of Bali.

Beef ribs inspired by the Indonesian “iga bakar”.

A sweet and creamy means of enjoying a delicious spiced rum.

A fresh cognac based cocktail, with a hint of orange.

A sweet and creamy cocktail, reminiscent of the flavour of the Split ice cream.

A great cognac based cocktail to finish up on a large meal.

A common creamy cocktail.

Much like the White Russian, but less hard on the alcohol and with a hint of almond.

A nice creamy cocktail with hints of chocolate and coffee.

A sweeter version of any Scotch whisky, with a slight hint of orange.

Since last week, my fiancée and I decided to try getting into mixing cocktails.

The vanilla syrup is an alternative to the Simple Syrup, intended for when you want a strong vanilla flavour in addition to a stronger sweetness.

This simple syrup is used mostly in drinks to add a sweetness when mixing in regular sugar wouldn’t dissolve nicely.

One of the most common cocktails, to cool off on a hot Summer day.

A cocktail intended to make scotch whisky easier to drink for those who aren’t used to drinking it neat.

The honey syrup is an alternative to the Simple Syrup, intended for when you want that typical honey flavour and smell rather than just simply sweetening.

This is pretty much a Whisky Sour, but with an added eggwhite to make the end result a bit more creamy and adding a nice foamy layer on top.

A sweet and creamy shot, with distinct visible layers.

A slightly sweet apple-forward cocktail with a sour aftertaste.

If you’ve read my blog posts before, you may know that I personally don’t like systemd all that much.

Last month I tried out Wayland once more.

Its a new year.

Savory Cantonese inspired fried chicken.

An old-school new-year’s treat from the Netherlands, but its delicious all year through.

These slightly spicy little snacks are a staple of my youth.

A slightly spicy Chinese streetfood BBQ rub.

A medium-spicy BBQ rub for shaokao, or Chinese barbecue.

The common Chinese spice mix, used in a large variety of Chinese style dishes.

A delicious, steamed white rice, to go with any meal as desired.

Sweet and fluffy waffles.

Added Configuration variables can be assigned values of other variables with the &= assignment.

Its been about another year since I made a post about Bashtard, its 2.0.0 release.

Fixed Configuration values with = in their value part should now work properly with file_template.

Added A new make target has been added to build a .tar.gz distributable.

Last week I got a message on Matrix, asking me to update one of my Raku modules, Config::Parser::TOML.

After setting up mieshu, nouki is the next server to work on in my home rack.

After saving up for a long while and thinking about what I want in my new home, I have finally taken the leap and gotten myself a server rack for home use.

This is going to be a relatively short and uninteresting post for most, it’ll just document how to get emoji to work in KDE.

A little over a year ago I started on a project to create my own configuration management system.

Added The var subcommand is now referenced in usage().

In the past year, I’ve written Bashtard, a simple configuration system written in Bash to minimize the required dependencies, and to have a better system to handle different distributions/OSs in your cluster.

I’ve hosted my own git repositories for quite a while, but I hadn’t found a simple self-hosted CI solution yet.

For my current $dayjob I am required to start using the AWS VPN Client.
