Fred and George, Turtles in love There are hundreds of cool command line tools that have been made over the years built on the unix philosophy. Plain text is powerful, ubiquitous, and human-centric. It was also the only option for computing for quite a while. It’s no surprise that some of the most sophisticated tools are focused on it.

After switching from Firefox to LibreWolf, I became interested in the idea of self-hosting my own Firefox Sync server. Although I had seen this was possible before, I had never really looked into it—until now. I embarked on a journey to set this up, and while it wasn’t completely smooth sailing, I eventually got it working. Here’s how it went.

I want to post more to the blog, and I want to share it out a bit more. There's an indeiweb concept called POSSE, which means Publish on your Own Site, Syndicate Elsewhere. So lets write a script that pulls down my feed, looks as what I've posted so far on Mastodon, and prompts me to share something.
Setup Lets start our publish.rb script with some boilerplate fun, including some inline gems so we don't need to cart a Gemfile around all the time.
Today we’re thrilled to announce the winners of our fifth annual Gems of the Year awards! After our panel narrowed down the selection and the community voted on...
Using Caddy to keep certificates renewed - Wiki - Caddy Community
You can use Caddy as an automated certificate manager to keep certificates renewed without having to run an HTTPS server [1]. This way, the certificates can be used by other programs that need them.
