  • moved some web-based tools to localhost

    a testing page for blog preview and some string formatter...
    It's also my first time to correctly using git, to upload edited pages directly via rsync and synchronization via git.

  • Editing

    added a timeline component,
    but I have to generate a timeline html and paste it as text,
    then paste into content generation, and the upload to blog.

  • Packing blog in Docker

    uwsgi + flask -> caddy, gunicorn, flask, docker

  • moved all wiki pages into one repository

    have been using gitea's wiki page to take notes, which is a life-saver
    I made a script to pull all wiki pages into one repository, now I have a way to save all my notes.

  • scoop update vscode

    VS Code was always hanging for two months.

  • /root partition is full

    pacman -Sc doesnt work anymore
    I am confused very confused
    started to move gitea from /etc to /home
    accidentally deleted all gitea data...then recovered with a previous gitea dump

  • have another gitea instance, docker

    all repositories have a mirror now

  • Tailscale ip doesnt work

    system-wide caddy worked for https://ip
    but docked caddy didnt work for https://ip
    I have no clue...

  • language tool

    trying to use language tool, which helps with spelling but it doesnt work well for grammar checking, also the current setting should be fixed, I am not sure if I am running locally or querying via API.
