# Basant
+I collect a lot of information. Basant is a tool to help me refine, reflect and understand the vast troves of data I generate.
+Think of it like a unified front end to all the data sources I have. From these vairous outputs can be created, with the end goal eventually being a matrix bot to publish to The Feed, a front page showing latest changes, and of course, my website.
+I'd like to be able to draw 'links' or annotations between the tags I use across various different pieces of software,
+These are the tools I use construct the space.
+
The map is not the teritory.
-I have carved out a small sancturary. It is available through my website: anish.lakhwara.com
-These are the tools I use construct the space.
-
## Architecture
-2 input sources, kitaab & streams
-These sources are then built into HTML files
-Those HTML files are published to my website
+Basant is made from various different data sources, each with their own folder.
+Each data source will have a `grab`, `build`, raw & output. `grab` gets the raw data, and `build` makes it into HTML
+Depending on the data source, there may be additional partial/ asset/ media/ folders in the directory. I'm not yet sure how to cascade these and build upwards.
+Some of those HTML files get published
+
+For better ideas look into [HPI](https://github.com/karlicoss/hpi) and how it's structured
### Inputs
-Inputs should be seperated into a sub-module (for each?) so that they can be built heremetically through nixOS
-
-kitaab requires a local copy, stored in /home/anish/vimwiki/
-there needs to be a .vimwiki_tags file there (which can be built in vimwiki using :VimwikiRebuildTags)
-It'll grab the relevant files, censor them, and then add them to the raw/ directory under public-kitaab
+`kitaab-public` requires a local copy, stored in /home/anish/vimwiki/

+`kitaab` should run the same thing, but without the filtering and censoring

+# Chīsai!
+
+> A small website generator, editable and hosted on github, with automatic deployment!
+
+## Purpose and mission
+
+Chīsai is aimed at empowering people who need a free solution to have their own small space on the internet without falling into the CMS install and maintenance crazyness. All content is in markdown files, in folders, and the user can edit, upload images and host on github.
+
+Chīsai answers three very important things for me when it comes to websites:
+
+1. It should be easy to modify by someone else
+2. It should be durable and long lasting
+3. Each person should own the code of its website
+
+## Who can use it?
+
+Chīsai is a free to use by individuals and organizations that do not operate by capitalist principles. For more information see the [license](LICENSE) file.
+
+## How does it work?
+
+You can see a demo [here](https://thomasorus.github.io/Chisai/). It's quite simple:
+
+- Each section is a folder with files named as the dates of their publication.
+- Each section has it's parent section that regroups all the files inside.
+- All sections 5 latest entries are regrouped on the home page with a link to see the full content.
+- Content is edited using the Markdown syntax (the same you can find on Discord or Slack).
+- Edit the content (create folders, files, edit files) directly on github, here!
+
+That's all!
+
+## How to use it?
+
+See the [wiki](https://github.com/Thomasorus/Chisai/wiki) for extensive guides for everything!
+
+## Can I self-host it?
+
+Yes of course! Chisai only produces HTML. You can add the generated website on your own server. Even better: if your server has Python, you can rebuild the website direcly on your server. Be careful that you might have to reconfigure some things to make it work.

%title De-facto proprietary software
+:blog:future-of-foss:quotes:
+%date 2020-09-26 22:45
+You want to download thousands of lines of useful, but random, code from the internet, for free, run it in a production web server, or worse, your user’s machine, trust it with your paying users’ data and reap that sweet dough. We all do. But then you can’t be bothered to check the license, understand the software you are running and still want to blame the people who make your business a possibility when mistakes happen, while giving them nothing for it? This is both incompetence and entitlement.
sealight.services is the cove you wash up on after having drifted too far out from comfortable waters. As you look around you notice some of the rock is smooth, especially where the light from the gap in the roof shines through. You see scorched driftwood and a couple large stones laid out with intention. You feel the warmth on your skin.
+
Do you remember how you got here now?
+Do you remember where you were going to go?
%title Structure of Sorcery
+:blog:maze:writing:
+%date 2020-09-27 01:11
+
Magic, as we seem to understand it, is the ability to affect change in ways we didn't think possible.
+Once you understand how the mechanism, by definition it is no longer magic.
+
In order to manifest impossible realities first we must be able to imagine them, hence belief is our primary tool. Those who search for these techniques are wixen. Our abilities tend to be localized and syncronicity the multiplier. Each may have their own rituals, but cooperation is our strength.
+
Enacting change is the purpose of all effort. Our tools must be as varied as the uses for energy, then. Change may be the only constant, but our mortality prohibits us from simply waiting for what we wish to happen.
And you may ask yourself
+Well... How did I get here?
+And you may ask yourself
+"How do I work this?"
+And you may ask yourself
+"Where is that large automobile?"
+And you may tell yourself
+"This is not my beautiful house!"
+
Attention Conservation Notice: What follows is long, self-absorbed, and boring to look at; much of it was written ten or even twenty years ago.

%title Standing on the Shoulders of Understandable Giants
+:writing:blog:
+%date 2020-09-27 19:36
+
Many people admire modern software. The ease with which we can do incredible tasks is truly powerful; navigation, translation, taxes. Consumer technology has changed the way people operate. But it is a brittle tool. Trying to do anything outside of the scope of what was designed it falls apart. We cannot inspect it's workings, or configure personalizations to our own benefit. We do not get to build on top of the giants, simply pass through them in a very specific way.
+
There are those who refuse these terms entirely and opt to build their own tools. These craftspeople will forge the tools that fit their needs best. Building foundations at bedrock allows for the most control. Make the tools exactly as you need them. These people garner a deep respect from me.
+
I land somewhere in the middle.
+
A big development in my understanding of the craft was from the realization that I can just inspect open source code. After all that is the point. For a long time I was scared to peek behind the curtain, afraid that the runes would be illegible. But that was a silly fear. A big part of how I learn now is just looking at how other people solved a problem. Afterall the patterns are adaptable.
+
Being able to inspect and understand code doesn't have the same benefits as having built them entirely yourself. In exchange you are granted height, and as much control as you can muster. Can you master somebody else's spell enough to make it your own? I know the limits of my own power and so limiting the complexity is desirable.
+
No single person can understand the entirety of their toolchain. We must depend on each other in order to wield our artifacts at all. There's always another layer below 'bedrock'. The operating system underlies application space. The instruction set underlies the OS and BIOS. The silicon underlies the BIOS. The silicon must be extracted which requires additional industrial scale tools to shape and form.
+
Will you chisel away at the void, to craft the perfect tool? Or will bow to cosmic powers of the corpers you summon, happy enough be granted outcomes of incantions.
+
I will choose to stand of the shoulders of the giants I can understand. Those that I can also control.

%title Dealing with Thrashing
+:organization:
+%date 2020-09-30 19:21
+
I thrash around a lot and don't tend to focus on one task at a time. This, I have known for a long time, and have tried to build systems to help me keep track of all the things I am doing so I can continue to operate in this way. But I think something needs to change.
+
I was thinking of setting a bi-weekly (once in 2 weeks) 'focus' and only doing tasks in that 'project'. This combined with a 1thingaday that I follow well, will hopefully help me achieve the things that I want to.
%title Why have an HPI?
+:puralek:writing:
+%date 2020-09-30 23:19
+
story:
+ when thinking about how to view and save and store data such that it makes the most sense, having an interface that classifies arbitrarily tagged data (podcasts, files, rss feeds, etc etc) to show the content you're looking for sounds interesting. Having the same set of tags across all the formats seems like a good place to start this endeavour but I fear this may be not concrete enough to work with yet
+
A collection of my raw data from the past that should be organized. A curation of the media ive enjoyed, my creative endeavours and things that i saved. Ultimately aims to be a museum of me to help me understand myself. how can a museum also be living though? my computer is a delicate dance atop the terminal, how could it be static?
+
The problem is that my information is scattered, unindexed, and of an unknown quality
+This goes beyond just collecting data, but using a collection of data to create new tools to interact with it. Formatting and organising my own information so that it's accessible to learn from

Started out experimenting with VMs in high school (2013)
+ never got very far (dont think i actually got an install working)
+get sick of windows slowing down my laptop in college (2015?)
+decide to install Arch to bootloader because I'm hardcore (and was on break from school)
+try many times to get it installed
+get it working, install WM only -- bspwm was trendy at the time
+learn shell, git, vim because all the r/unixporn and /g/ desktop threads were doing that
+learn about AUR
+keep forgetting to run pacman -Syu and then when I do it breaks my computer
+get sick of that and install debian net-install
+continue running bspwm
+become indoctrinated into the FOSS zealotry
+continue with debian net-install, bspwm, vim -> happy with my setup
+...
+buy a chromebook for uni (2016)
+install xfce on it because compiling on chromebook was wack
+...
+buy a desktop (2017)
+use similar setup to original laptop
+turn laptop into server
+start learning about self hosting foss shit to make my life better
+...
+but have to do uni shit
+buy librem13v3 (2019)
+get sick of having to do everything by hand on desktop and switch to mostly using laptop
+laptop keyboard sucks though (using ErgoDox EZ on desktop)
+learn about nixOS
+install it on everythinig so I don't have to keep recreating setups.
currently taskwiki is broken because it requires a new version of tasklib (2.2.1)
+tasklib is in nixpkgs/pkgs/development/python-modules/taskwiki
+I need to change the sha256 hash to update to the new version
%title Idea behind Puralek
+:puralek:writing:
+%date 2020-10-13 22:07
+
i realized that this is about organizing information, but thats also literally the purpose of the data involved in creating kitaab. its important to remember to distinguish between the mix of meta data and data held in this "book" and all the data that is produced in using computers. however the organization principles apply to both. hence i am starting to use this more like a log of all things. in doing so, the idea of Puralek and Kitaab become inextriabcly intertwined and must be synthesized into something more
+
this struck me during the reordering of /now and seeing now listed down there as an intergration idea makes sense, but not the scope i originally thought.
+
use /now to order the index page of Kitaab
+some sort of averaging between total itetms and change in items
+
= Integration ideas =
+generate a calendar that updates over nextcloud through task warrior events
+Be able to link the Tasks list from a specific directory into the /now page
+automation based on the above tags idea: feedreader > star > based on content action (add to jackett for music, save to images for image, etc) and have a living orgamism of information
%title Vim Kendrit Review
+:kendrit:vim:review:
+%date 2020-10-15 21:53
+
So today marks the end of my vim kendrit. As always I'm wishing I did better at it, but I have a habit of setting aspirational goals. I like the two week format, given that this was the first one I did. While I didn't exclusively focus on Vim stuff, that was'nt my intention, and just having this kendrit set gave me a direction to turn to when I was not sure about what to focus on. I liked that. I also feel like I am at least a bit better at vim now. I made a contribution to vimwiki-sync to ensure that it runs on NeoVim too, and that's something! I've never had an PR be included before 😊 It felt really good to have finally contributed to an open source project and have it accepted. I also picked up on a few things that I'd be meaning to learn for a while, but I'm not yet fluent at them. I think if there's something I should improve on for Kendrit's it's writing stuff down more. That was a big help, but also I had to go through the source material a few times before I realized I really needed to write things down.

I hadn't thought of this before, but this does impact my ability to do devhackgenerative stuff. Though I suppose to be fair I hadn't really been doing that for a while now. Perhaps I could find a way to incorporate that into my Kendrits.

%title Amazed at the NixOS Community
+:writing:nix:micro:blog:
+%date 2020-10-20 19:26
+
Even by FOSS zealot standards, I run an esoteric combination of hardware and software. My interests go beyond just "getting things done"; I have a strange fascination with tools themselves. I specifically choose tools I can customize to fit my hand like glove, and the FOSS world has plenty of choices for those so inclined.
+This obsession with obscurity means I end up playing with software that looks like an ASCII video game, but is actually a music tracker, emulates modular synthesizers or is a DSL in an already esoteric programming language for livecoding
+Even when it comes to hardware, I use a phone you probably haven't heard of (it has a physical keyboard! in 2020!), and my smartwatch is literally no longer available for purchase, that I revived through a battery transplant.
+
And yet, the NixOS community has packages for all of these. There's a derivation of the Pebble SDK, TidalCycles and VCV-Rack. It's awesome. Even though they don't natively package all the vim plugins I'm using, I've gotten the hang of updating nixpkgs to include these plugins, and I've even made a couple PRs so they are available to the wider community! I didn't think the intersection between FOSS zealots who use NixOS, like livecoding or are die-hard Pebble fans would be greater than 1, but here I am😊

History was already over, but there aren't any endings. There never really were. Tomorrow always beckons, and things inevitably continue to happen. That's where I found myself. Just, happening at the end of history. With no reference to point to, I couldn't tell you what was different. Not even if I wanted to. Anyway, I'm sure you've done enough of this existing thing yourself to figure it out. Things were. How else do I describe it? Existence is. Even at the end of history. There isn't any other way to put it, not now, not before, and certainly not after. Look, look how our language became antiquated. Especially now it is illequiped to describe my time. For even though I can speak of before and now and after, there isn't really any. Distinction I mean. Now was now and will continue to be now, not before, not after.
+And yet, if history is the chronicalling of time, haven't I just contributed a piece?
I bounce from project to project so much because there is a lot I want to do. This often leads to thrashing and not actually doing anything. So in order to Get Things Done™ I needed a way to focus on larger goals over longer periods of time. Hence Kendrit, literally translated as "To Center".

One of the founding principles by which I organize my life (at least rn). It's not a difficult concept. Implementing it is always personal though. Everybody has their own desired consequences that they solve in their own ways. It's part of what makes people beautiful.
+
What I mean by this is primarily that goals are ephmeral. Once achieved they vanish, as though that is the end of the problem, or action, or even outcome. The heroes journey is always cyclical. There are no level ups in real life, you continue with the tools you've delevoped. So build tools.
+
Architect systems of processes such that you can achieve your "goals" reliably, consistently. If a goal is of any value, in most cases it is worth repeating; better. So don't worry about how far you've come, just keep journey-ing. Embrace your ability to instantiate change. Create! Destroy! You are the opponent of Entropy! You cannot win, but at least enjoy the battle.

%title On Noticing Your Own Reactions
+:writing:phil:
+%date 2020-11-05 19:33
+
By paying attention to how you feel, one begins to learn many things. One of these is the distinction between like and dislike. One can learn valuable information about oneself by noticing when we like and dislike things. This too is a spectrum, but nonethelss it can be distinguished at ends. Like and dislike. We learn to do more of what we enjoyed, obviously. We also learn an important lesson from what we dislike. We shouldn't learn the opposite lesson though: To turn away and do less of what we don't like. Instead, our goal should be to understand why. What part of ourselves are we afraid of that we experience fear of experiences. Instead we should seek to understand our discomfort and engage with it. Learn from it. That cannot happen if it is discarded. So look at it, don't through away your own reactions. Even if it is a bad reaction. Seek to introduce it into your life in the smallest manner you can handle. And work from there.

%title The New Internet is being born
+:blog:web:notes:
+%date 2020-11-05 19:45
+
I've read many articles about the Old Internet being dead (those that write those articles seem implicitly aware that the "Now Internet" sucks)
+I have a different take. The New Internet is taking root. If you know where to look you can smell the trees.
+
Something similar is the "Cozy Web". You probably have carved out your own cozy web too. "Private" groups filled with your friends. Things that you share with select group(s) and (generally) the corporations that provide that service. Messenger, Telegram, Slack, Discord, $X DMs, Snapchat, Zoom. Maybe you're down with technology or blessed by the Priesthood of Programmers and know someone that runs their own infrastructure, which is certainly much comfier as far as I'm concerned. Whatever it may be, the important factor in the Cozy web is that it's ▓▓▘▙▕▛▟▘▙.
+
The New Internet must happen in public by definition. It's already taking shape. Digital Gardens or Online Personal Notebooks. Some small blogs. IndieWeb. There's (generally) nothing to sell, no obligation to buy. They are welcoming spaces filled with personal expression. Many are just electronic Business Cards, some are dense tome's of intently researched knowledge. Some are Parks and some are Libraries. There are still certainly stalls and small businesses too. But there's no Amazon. No endless trackers. No enmourous data centres. Well, at least in my dreams
+
The tools obviously still need work. Creating and designing a website is not an easy task. Ensuring that it stays running is an ongoing obligation. Most people still don't know about hyper://, ipfs://, or gemini:// hell Google is getting rid of http://! Yet even the alternatives have requirements beyond simply knowing them. Technical skills to use them, resources to have a constantly running computer, dedicated internet and electricity. So even if you can build websites, why would you choose this unknown alternative with all these related problems when you can just pay someone to deal with it.
+
But it is possible. Community oriented services. Public and Personal spaces wrapped in one. I'm trying to build my own Public Personal space here too. Working with the garage door up.

%title 3 Years of Owning a Server
+:blog:writing:web:
+%date 2020-11-06 02:58
+
Once I'd built my first computer (which was actually very late, perhaps sometime in 2016) I needed to figure out what to do with my old one. My old one was a mid-spec laptop from 4+ years prior to that, but it had a decent graphics card at the time that allowed me to play some of the games I'd wanted to -- Though in part the small specs lead me to prefer indie games and roguelikes, the only games I'm even remotely interested anymore.
+I figured I'd try and configure it to run as a server. By this point I'd been running exclusively Linux for a couple years and had come across interesting server software. Perenially interested in Privacy and Free Software, I decided to see what I could muster up.
+Thus began my on-going experiment with Docker. At the time I knew just enough system adiminstration to be dangerous and hadn't previously set up nginx. Since Docker seemed a lot easier, that's what I went with.
+The docker instances I stood up then are the very same images that have been running on my server this entire time, I'm a little ashamed to admit. They're horrible out of date, and basically the only sort of server admin work I did was write scripts so they boot on startup and kick them when they fell down. Being the only one who used this software made that a totally fine solution for me.
+Now, I'm trying to level up once again. I've learnt a lot more about server administration, and I'm trying to achieve 201015-2313. The sad part is what stirred me to finally commit to doing this whole process (Backup, Automation and Reliable builds) is losing all the data that I had stored in my bookmarks server since it's inception. That place was a comfy little treasure trove for me I could turn to when I finally needed a tool, book or guide in order to accomplish something. It was a personally curated springboard from which whenever I had an idea, I knew where I should go. It was, in some senses, my Google. Rather than search for something through the public search indexes, I would always choose to search this first.
+And now it's gone. And I never want to let that happen again. So here I am in the dead of night checking all my backups before wiping this ancient machine to imbue it with new life and new power.
+I hope I don't lose any more data, ever. It's a small step for me, in removing a thorn that has been deeply embedded in my technical prowess. 201106-0311 and all.
bowl is certainly nearing teh end of it's life. It has served me well. I will need to replace it imminently.
+
I feel so much weaker without it. I need it back now. Currently it will only boot after waiting for around 10 minutes (HDD failure?) and even then the nix installer was flashing error messages (I know the installer works because I booted on a seperate laptop)
+
Luckily I have all my data backed up. I was going to wipe it anyway. maybe look into getting a replacement drive to boot off of while I think of what to do in terms of building out a NAS.
%title What I learnt switching bowl to NixOS
+:nix:ops:bowl:review:
+%date 2020-11-08 23:59
+
bowl is on it's last legs. It will only boot after much cajoling.
+After many false starts, I finally got it all working. I can't risk switching it off anymore, and I hope it doesn't overheat.
+
I created an install.sh script for legacy-bios with encrypted disk and a password, which is very cool
+I want one for UEFI now too
+
I kept trying to change the names of the logical volumes and volume groups in LVM which is why I was running into issues
+I learnt that GRUB 2.06 should contain the necessary patch for LUKS2 (it's been implemented already)
+I couldn't figure out how to install shaarli. The package in nixpkgs is just creating the necessary files in /nix/store/-shaarli and I'm not sure how to configure nginx to use that yet.
+I managed to install taskd server which has a nixOS wrapper for all the certs and stuff, but haven't got it to sync yet
+I've installed nextcloud, but haven't recovered the backup yet.
+
I'm still not very confident in my abilities to run a server on nixOS, though this is a good learning opportunity. I don't quite understand all the settings and how to find them, but I've been reading a lot more .nix files which helps.

Basically I've learnt that running php web-apps are a nightmare, and that I don't really understand nginx, fastcgi, phpfpm at all really.
+For the past ~2 weeks I've been trying to rebuild bowl to be running on NixOS, and I've come up against many difficulties, and lost all the data in both of these services...
+
I had issues with getting shaarli to read the environment variable as defined in it's nix derivation. So instead, Timo (the package maintainer) told me another solution is to just ln -s the package directory into somewhere it can read/write to since that's what the environment variable is supposed to do anyway. Once I did this it was easy enough to get Shaarli running. I did have to be careful with the nginx config because I'd accidentally disabled the API. Currently my Shaarli install
+
Wallabag has been another story. It seems like upstream is broken because it's overwriting a php function (mb_string is the package and mb_str_replace is the function) that php says it can't overwrite.
+
Before I managed to get these to run on bare metal, I was using docker once again to run the services. But since Nix is declarative, and I have no idea how docker volumes work, it wiped everytime I ran nixos-rebuild switch, which remains a problem I haven't quite solved. I somehow managed to get the docker install working, but I don't believe it to be declarative because I did exec into the docker container and ran some esoteric database migration in order to get it to work.
+
Further more my main issue currently is that in order to do anything in nixOS I need to be able to write the language, understand the options, and then all the services that the options declaratively define. The way I currently run any of the infrastructure is through googling around and hoping to find a module or someone else trying to run the same software, but more profficient at nixOS than I am. That needs to change, since even for services written in easy to run languages like Go, I can't write the nix file to get them to work.
So I finally got Shaarli all configured. It turns out the Network Redirection Error that I was facing had to do with nginx Server Blocks aka Virtual Hosts
+Setting the port and IP address as the virtual host name during Shaarli setup led to some strange re-direction that neither FF nor Chrome were happy to display (though cURL didn't have any issues). I fixed this by disabling nextcloud which previously owned the non-port server host and made shaarli the only web-app running. This led to the redirect working fine and able to continue as normal.
+The setup still isn't quite reproducible because I need to do ln -s $(nix eval nixos.shaarli.outPath)/* $dataDir to place all the shaarli files in the dataDir, then chown shaarli:shaarli $dataDir and finally cp config.php $dataDir/config.php to get everything running.
+I had much more sucess with debugging after setting php_admin_value[error_log] = "/var/log/nginx/phpfpm.log" and using strace -p <phpfpm-pid> so that I actually knew what was going wrong. I learnt that when using root = pkgs.shaarli and setting SHAARLI_CONFIG even though shaarli does read the right config file, it doesn't seem to apply that to reading the data directory as defined by the config and was still trying to access the nix store data folder which was causing issues.
+Anyways I think I now know enough that I should be able to re-configure everything pretty easily if it breaks. So Success!!
The reason we care about the degree of a note in the scale, is because we can use it to talk about different kinds of chords in a sequence
+For the each key we can talk about it's chords. A good way to think about some songs, is major chords numbered by degree of the note. That way we can talk about the same chord progression in different keys.
+
hence, chord progressions can be written as numbers 1 - 6

+%date 2020-11-28 14:56
+
Early on in my foray into digital music, I decided I didn't want to use a DAW. Partially because I knew doing so on Linux would be limiting, partly because I like to do things differently. My proclivity for single purpose devices naturally got me excited about norns when I heard about it. Not being a musicion I found it hard to justify paying $800USD for what could turn out to be just a toy.
+When I learnt about the DIY versioun pased on an RPi, I knew I had to try it. A toy like the norns is certainly worth a hundredish dollars. Even more exciting to go from "no electronics experience" to "i built a music machine from PCB up".
+So I'm now that guy. Decided to learn how to read electronics schematics so that I can build a linux machine to avoid using a DAW on a different Linux machine.

+
Finally taking steps in almost exactly 1 year since taking up the mantle of friend-hosting (https://anish.lakhwara.com/posts/fireplace/) and I finally have a runnig matrix server that I plan to keep in production as much as I can. I worked out how to configure everything I wanted correctly by using these resources:
= It's Always DNS =
+I had two significantly large hurdles; DNS, NixOS + ACME. I started with an SRV Record to redirect all requests to chat.sealight.xyz if they were trying to reach that instance. But I couldn't quite get this to work right, and then ending up switching to an imperative step which was:
Which removed the need for the SRV file. At this point I had a working SSL installation of NixOS 19.09 with only a synapse server running. Great first step I thought.
+
= Or SSL for DNS =
+Then I had the bright idea to update to 20.09 so that I could run the Element web client instead of Riot (now rebranded). That was naive in hindsight. ACME, it's nixOS module and even perhaps the underlying software logo may have bugs that made their way into 20.09 and these bugs occur specifically when upgrading from the older ACME client. In order to fix this I had to delete the old user account and started fresh.
+It didn't help that I would often run into Rate Limiting due to the way the nixOS ACME module works. I had to be particularly careful when running a rebuild otherwise I'd hit the rate limit. This meant I couldn't just try random fixes and hope it worked. I really had to read the logs, come to understand what was happening and why (and in case it was a rate limit just wait 1 - 3 hours before doing anything). This was a useful experience.
+
These resources were especially helpful in debugging ACME issues:
= Finally =
+Once I fixed the Let's Encrypt requests being sent, I was left with a beautiful static site hosted at sealight.xyz, the matrix server that federates at chat.sealight.xyz; with all handles will be of the form @user:sealight.xyz, and an Element client running at element.sealight.xyz that points users to create an account at my instance by default.
+
If I'm being honest I still don't understand all the intracacies of my own configuration. NixOS does an excellent job of abstracting away so much of the configuration troubles. I'm finally beginning to understand how to do things with this tool.
+However it cannot abstract away everything. I need to learn nginx configuration, and what the hell SNI, SRV and .well-known have in common that makes them able to mask the URL in handles.

there has been a common thread going through my mind of late that ive been meaning to write about for a while. originally i started with the idea of describing my own utilization of technology. the systems i\'ve set up to orchestrate my life; a tour of my personal digital infrastructure. and of course being a hipster computer nerd, the manner in which i use technology is partically fringe even within my own community, and especially so when compared to the average comput er user, but other than being at best mildly informative, i came to view it as self indulgent naval gazing -- afterall I already k now how that infrastructure works and have laid out many plans for how to improve it, surely my time would be better spent activel y improving it rather than explaining it (largely just to myself) again.", "then i moved on to pondering my grand debut in \"the i ndustry\" and wanted to get my thoughts in order about how I actually feel about it. this scared me because I worried my honest op inions of the surveillance industry (or \"silicon valley\" as it is colloquially referred to) would stain my chances at a job in t he very same place. i wish i was strong enough in my resolve to my ethical framework to make these comments under my \"real\" iden tity and maybe one day i will be, but today is not that day.", "from there i bounced to various cliche topics at the intersection of technology and mindfulness. digital detoxes, curtailing addicition to our smart phones, an introduction for the non-technical, how tragically easy it is to imagine better technology, media diets, and the murder (not death) of privacy and how to ressurect it all feature empty pages in my git repo. beyond repeating kitchsy blogspam my trouble with writing about these is that the problem s and solutions i see to technology go beyond any one of these issues, and even describing these issues evades a clear essence to what technology truly is.", "and so i embark on another rabit hole, but this time i emplore you to join in on the discussion.
I won't like, subscribe, comment, hit the bell icon, give 5 stars, a thumbs up, or other form of feedback. I'm sorry, I know it's helpful for your platform on . Even if I liked whatever service or content you provided, I (probably) still won't do it. I won't feed the data machine. It does not need more data. The aggregate effects of better calibrated surveillance apparatus are just worse for everyone. It will only grant the entrenched system more power. Metrics cease to be useful when they become goals, and doesn't know what else to do with metrics.
+
Living in the modern world requires compromises, which is why I am using the platform (and have the ability to leave a signal in the first place), but I see minimizing participation as beneficial. will still collect some unavoidable data from my interactions with them, and use this data for whatever they see fit. may also already have all your past data, but that doesn't justify handing over a continuous feed. Stop using the gambler's fallacy in regards to data privacy.
+
+
Not drip feeds of narcissim-enhancing like notifications.
+
Not gated communities built out of follower counts and verified check marks.
+
Not laser focused optimization of product ranking, and user {att,re}tention
+
Not peer evaluation that leads to financial, promotional or emotional consequences
+
+
I won't engage in these.
+
Instead, where appropriate I will engage in:
+
+
Personal recounts of similar experiences
+
Asking or answering questions and learning more
+
Expressing appreciation explicitly
+
Constructive criticism without being mean
+
Ambient support
+
Paid exchange and/or tips for DRM free media, excellent service or physical goods
+
+
You want signals? Make them humane, understand the context. Leave messages of collaboration. Refuse parasocial relationships. Make the data open, playful, and in service of the people to which that data belongs. Technology alone won't solve social problems, and in many cases will exacerbate them. Metrics are for systems not people. Reactions aren't signs of support. I will try to minimize the power these signals possess.

+the imagining better future series is about a (female) solarpunk adventurer, told in the form of diary notes. she quests around byboat or by bike and lives a nomadic life. its post-walkway, default still exists (and should reflect current civ-tech) but is unbearable to her. she meets with other walkaways learning, sharing and creating art. its a loose plot for slow life, and the kind i wish one day to lead.
1 large can (28 ounces) or 2 small cans (15 ounces each) diced tomatoes**, with their juices
+
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
+
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
+
2 cups vegetable broth or water
+
1 bay leaf
+
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnishing
+
1 to 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar or lime juice, to taste
+
+
= Instructions =
+ In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery and ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Stir to combine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes.
+ Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika and oregano. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
+ Add the diced tomatoes and their juices, the drained black beans and pinto beans, vegetable broth and bay leaf. Stir to combine and let the mixture come to a simmer. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, for 30 minutes.
+ Remove the chili from the heat and discard the bay leaf. For the best texture and flavor, transfer 1 ½ cups of the chili to a blender, making sure to get some of the liquid portion. Securely fasten the lid and blend until smooth (watch out for hot steam), then pour the blended mixture back into the pot. (Or, you can blend the chili briefly with an immersion blender, or mash the chili with a potato masher until it reaches a thicker, more chili-like consistency.)
+ Add the chopped cilantro, stir to combine, and then mix in the vinegar, to taste. Add salt to taste, too—I added ¼ teaspoon more at this point. Divide the mixture into individual bowls and serve with garnishes of your choice. This chili will keep well in the refrigerator for about 4 days or you can freeze it for longer-term storage.
running Matrix Bridges is generally a 3 step process:
+
+
create a bot
+
run the appservice so that it can be registered with the bot
+
tell synapse of the bot's existence
+
+
step 2 is where nixOS comes in, if there is a module configured for the service it's not necessary to go through the configuration steps and instead write something like services.matrix-appservice-discord.enable = true; in configuration.nix
+I don't yet know what to do in nixOS specifically if there is no module (write one, lol)
I'm writing publicify to turn Kitaab into anish.lakhwara.com
+It needs to parse tags of files, which vimwiki generates at .vimwiki_tags
+I need to parse this file through python-ctags3 (https://github.com/jonashaag/python-ctags3 )
+
Since VimZettel uses date to create file names, I'll need to grab the title as well
+
There seems to be a lot of garbage tags in there, so I'll need to clean up Kitaab too
Currently GNOME is too heavy for me to run much stuff concurrently on curve, I'll need to switch to a more lightweight window manager. I'm thinking bspwm + sxkhd like I used to run.

I'll probably need to write a lot of stuff to get it working right, and also dig out my old config. Seems doable
A small piece of software that allows me to bridge between shaarli's plain txt database, and links in Kitaab

Ideally this would look like accessing a copy of the db, gunziping(?) it and then being able to search that file, insert the link, and pass that information back to shaarli (which will probably require hitting the api)

I own several computers. I wear one on my wrist and carry one in my pocket everyday. I have single use devices for reading and drawing. A couple just for video games, and one specifically for work. This is not an accident. Each of these devices were picked out by me, for aesthetic and functional qualities. My watch is a Pebble Time Round, built by a company that no longer operates, with severs powered by a bunch of die-hard hackers who have gone to incredible effort to care for a device we love; I bought mine second hand and have replaced the battery (and soon the glass too) on mine. My phone has a keyboard (FX Tec Pro 1). My PSP is hacked.
+
Which is to say I think a lot about what I want my computers to do, and how to go about that. It's been more than 2 years since I bought my brand new Purism Librem 13v3, and it's already beginning to fail, so I've been thinking about what I want to do when the time comes to replace it. I looked into repairing it, but it might cost more than a new computer, and so I wonder about what's better. I believe the primary environmental costs come from mining. Trashing fairly functional hardware for new silicon perhaps isn't without it's problmes, but if I start fresh and right, perhaps I can build a computer that will last longer than I will. Inspired by The Heirloom Computer, 50 Year Computing and the various projects referenced in these documents, I began reflecting on what I want out of my personal computing.

An intuition about the "appearing trillions of times in a family tree" is to realize that family trees are actually a binary tree extending backwards in time--i.e. each person has exactly two parents, who have exactly two parents, and so on. So N generations back, there are 2^N individuals. Obviously, there weren't 2^100 people on Earth at any point in time, so this backwards tree starts folding back on itself, containing duplications. Go back far enough and there is a set of individuals who were alive at a particular point in time that completely cover that forward tree.

“It is not necessary for a man to be actively bad in order to make a failure in life; simple inaction will accomplish it. Nature has everywhere written her protest against idleness; everything which ceases to struggle toward an ideal, the constant effort to get higher and further, which develops manhood and character.”
‘If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. ’
"More broadly, nobody is going to teach you to think for yourself. A large fraction of what people around you believe is mistaken. Internalize this and practice coming up with your own worldview. The correlation between it and those around you shouldn't be too strong unless you think you were especially lucky in your initial conditions."
The very idea of placing an embargo on labor time is so outrageous as to be unthinkable. It will take some time for people to adjust. People who today would not consider walking off the job to win union recognition have to be convinced to walk off to emancipate themselves from wage slavery entirely.

27/04 - thinking if calling it "the others" in a find the others way
+
Thinking about situations for when people ask me about instagram/fb/how to contact them generally, and what I can do about it. I was thinking the best way is to start a community of people that i can invite if I think they're cool. The barrier to entry is actually a good thing? But this is not exclusively the context I have been thinking about this in. I also would like to start some kind of node/hub thing like fox has got going on with lain.haus/pixie.town. but i'm not sure what i'm after and I don't think I want to just give out open invites.
+
I'm thinking about whether I would want my irl friends to join it or online friends and how to shape the community such that everyone feels welcome. If it were to be with IRL folk, I would create a card on which is printed either a unique (probably expensive but "more secure" -- should that matter?) or just a link to sign up with my community. The trouble with these is always getting it off the ground. And of course the scale I'm looking for. i wouldn't want to hand out over 100 invites at least to start with -- but I'd need it to all be federated which isn't too difficult all the software already exists
+
speaking of software I'm questioning what services to run. What kind of community am I targeting here? How should I react to the people joining? I think I'd want to have a chat server and some kind of voice communication channel, i think that is important. at the very least and probably git too. i'd need pixelfed for insta-normies, but i'm wondering whether to do pleroma/mastodon. It could really strengthen the community given that we don't have much tying us together to talk about in one chat room. chat rooms need to be focused, toots don't. maybe I should skip out on a chat server? maybe make it exclusive? even cybre.space can't get it's matrix room to take off.
+on a technical level I'd have to figure out how to make all the sign ups happen through 1 signup, or some sort of form? this is already turniing into a very large project...
+
Also thinking about what to call it. I have many ideas relating to a garden? I'm picturing a quiet cove or hidden bushland deep in a forest. A magical spot that we work together to build and create and own and share with others we trust. a faerie circle.
+
thats it. i figured out what i'm trying to do here. I'm trying to get 80 people together to form a cohort so we can split into smaller groups and find the others. everybody should get 3 invites, and i will start by inviting 20 people. now i need to think hard about which 20 people to start with, how to get a diverse crew and write a story to convince people to join, and somehow figure all the rest out.

and yet in the same world, self aseembly and disassembly of modular, independent shelter makes nomadic lifestyles sustainable. tap into mycelium networks to gain resources and share information, if you can find the way in. travel deep in-land towards the people sustaining these networks, or congrgate on sailing ships covered in mesh. low-powered thin clients, with eink displays may be the only direct descendent of the laptop, but primary computing is through discrete tokens for those with the keys to access them. distributed spindles for observability into space. storage clusters shaped into minerals that will hold form for 100s of years, supporting their own networks and contributing positively to the ecosystem. analog computers powered by simplyconfigutation of sunlight.

where once we trapped electricity in silicon and forced it to think, now we shaped light into rocks and sprouted mushrooms as we went.

I own several computers. I wear one on my wrist and carry one in my pocket everyday. I have single use devices for reading and drawing. A couple just for video games, and one specifically for work. This is not an accident. Each of these devices were picked out by me, for aesthetic and functional qualities. My watch is a Pebble Time Round, built by a company that no longer operates, with severs powered by a bunch of die-hard hackers who have gone to incredible effort to care for a device we love; I bought mine second hand and have replaced the battery (and soon the glass too) on mine. My phone has a keyboard (FX Tec Pro 1). My PSP is hacked.
+
Which is to say I think a lot about what I want my computers to do, and how to go about that. It's been more than 2 years since I bought my brand new Purism Librem 13v3, and it's already beginning to fail, so I've been thinking about what I want to do when the time comes to replace it. I looked into repairing it, but it might cost more than a new computer, and so I wonder about what's better. I believe the primary environmental costs come from mining. Trashing fairly functional hardware for new silicon perhaps isn't without it's problmes, but if I start fresh and right, perhaps I can build a computer that will last longer than I will. Inspired by The Heirloom Computer, 50 Year Computing and the various projects referenced in these documents, I began reflecting on what I want out of my personal computing.
A small piece of software that allows me to bridge between shaarli's plain txt database, and links in Kitaab
+
Ideally this would look like accessing a copy of the db, gunziping(?) it and then being able to search that file, insert the link, and pass that information back to shaarli (which will probably require hitting the api)
Currently GNOME is too heavy for me to run much stuff concurrently on curve, I'll need to switch to a more lightweight window manager. I'm thinking bspwm + sxkhd like I used to run.
+
I'll probably need to write a lot of stuff to get it working right, and also dig out my old config. Seems doable
I'm writing publicify to turn Kitaab into anish.lakhwara.com
+It needs to parse tags of files, which vimwiki generates at .vimwiki_tags
+I need to parse this file through python-ctags3 (https://github.com/jonashaag/python-ctags3 )
+
Since VimZettel uses date to create file names, I'll need to grab the title as well
+
There seems to be a lot of garbage tags in there, so I'll need to clean up Kitaab too

running Matrix Bridges is generally a 3 step process:
+
+
create a bot
+
run the appservice so that it can be registered with the bot
+
tell synapse of the bot's existence
+
+
step 2 is where nixOS comes in, if there is a module configured for the service it's not necessary to go through the configuration steps and instead write something like services.matrix-appservice-discord.enable = true; in configuration.nix
+I don't yet know what to do in nixOS specifically if there is no module (write one, lol)
1 large can (28 ounces) or 2 small cans (15 ounces each) diced tomatoes**, with their juices
+
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
+
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
+
2 cups vegetable broth or water
+
1 bay leaf
+
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro, plus more for garnishing
+
1 to 2 teaspoons sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar or lime juice, to taste
+
+
= Instructions =
+ In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, warm the olive oil until shimmering. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, carrot, celery and ¼ teaspoon of the salt. Stir to combine and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the onion is translucent, about 7 to 10 minutes.
+ Add the garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika and oregano. Cook until fragrant while stirring constantly, about 1 minute.
+ Add the diced tomatoes and their juices, the drained black beans and pinto beans, vegetable broth and bay leaf. Stir to combine and let the mixture come to a simmer. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally and reducing heat as necessary to maintain a gentle simmer, for 30 minutes.
+ Remove the chili from the heat and discard the bay leaf. For the best texture and flavor, transfer 1 ½ cups of the chili to a blender, making sure to get some of the liquid portion. Securely fasten the lid and blend until smooth (watch out for hot steam), then pour the blended mixture back into the pot. (Or, you can blend the chili briefly with an immersion blender, or mash the chili with a potato masher until it reaches a thicker, more chili-like consistency.)
+ Add the chopped cilantro, stir to combine, and then mix in the vinegar, to taste. Add salt to taste, too—I added ¼ teaspoon more at this point. Divide the mixture into individual bowls and serve with garnishes of your choice. This chili will keep well in the refrigerator for about 4 days or you can freeze it for longer-term storage.

+the imagining better future series is about a (female) solarpunk adventurer, told in the form of diary notes. she quests around byboat or by bike and lives a nomadic life. its post-walkway, default still exists (and should reflect current civ-tech) but is unbearable to her. she meets with other walkaways learning, sharing and creating art. its a loose plot for slow life, and the kind i wish one day to lead.
I won't like, subscribe, comment, hit the bell icon, give 5 stars, a thumbs up, or other form of feedback. I'm sorry, I know it's helpful for your platform on . Even if I liked whatever service or content you provided, I (probably) still won't do it. I won't feed the data machine. It does not need more data. The aggregate effects of better calibrated surveillance apparatus are just worse for everyone. It will only grant the entrenched system more power. Metrics cease to be useful when they become goals, and doesn't know what else to do with metrics.
+
Living in the modern world requires compromises, which is why I am using the platform (and have the ability to leave a signal in the first place), but I see minimizing participation as beneficial. will still collect some unavoidable data from my interactions with them, and use this data for whatever they see fit. may also already have all your past data, but that doesn't justify handing over a continuous feed. Stop using the gambler's fallacy in regards to data privacy.
+
+
Not drip feeds of narcissim-enhancing like notifications.
+
Not gated communities built out of follower counts and verified check marks.
+
Not laser focused optimization of product ranking, and user {att,re}tention
+
Not peer evaluation that leads to financial, promotional or emotional consequences
+
+
I won't engage in these.
+
Instead, where appropriate I will engage in:
+
+
Personal recounts of similar experiences
+
Asking or answering questions and learning more
+
Expressing appreciation explicitly
+
Constructive criticism without being mean
+
Ambient support
+
Paid exchange and/or tips for DRM free media, excellent service or physical goods
+
+
You want signals? Make them humane, understand the context. Leave messages of collaboration. Refuse parasocial relationships. Make the data open, playful, and in service of the people to which that data belongs. Technology alone won't solve social problems, and in many cases will exacerbate them. Metrics are for systems not people. Reactions aren't signs of support. I will try to minimize the power these signals possess.

how to deal with all the systems i thought i had in place falling apart
there has been a common thread going through my mind of late that ive been meaning to write about for a while. originally i started with the idea of describing my own utilization of technology. the systems i\'ve set up to orchestrate my life; a tour of my personal digital infrastructure. and of course being a hipster computer nerd, the manner in which i use technology is partically fringe even within my own community, and especially so when compared to the average comput er user, but other than being at best mildly informative, i came to view it as self indulgent naval gazing -- afterall I already k now how that infrastructure works and have laid out many plans for how to improve it, surely my time would be better spent activel y improving it rather than explaining it (largely just to myself) again.", "then i moved on to pondering my grand debut in \"the i ndustry\" and wanted to get my thoughts in order about how I actually feel about it. this scared me because I worried my honest op inions of the surveillance industry (or \"silicon valley\" as it is colloquially referred to) would stain my chances at a job in t he very same place. i wish i was strong enough in my resolve to my ethical framework to make these comments under my \"real\" iden tity and maybe one day i will be, but today is not that day.", "from there i bounced to various cliche topics at the intersection of technology and mindfulness. digital detoxes, curtailing addicition to our smart phones, an introduction for the non-technical, how tragically easy it is to imagine better technology, media diets, and the murder (not death) of privacy and how to ressurect it all feature empty pages in my git repo. beyond repeating kitchsy blogspam my trouble with writing about these is that the problem s and solutions i see to technology go beyond any one of these issues, and even describing these issues evades a clear essence to what technology truly is.", "and so i embark on another rabit hole, but this time i emplore you to join in on the discussion.
Finally taking steps in almost exactly 1 year since taking up the mantle of friend-hosting (https://anish.lakhwara.com/posts/fireplace/) and I finally have a runnig matrix server that I plan to keep in production as much as I can. I worked out how to configure everything I wanted correctly by using these resources:
= It's Always DNS =
+I had two significantly large hurdles; DNS, NixOS + ACME. I started with an SRV Record to redirect all requests to chat.sealight.xyz if they were trying to reach that instance. But I couldn't quite get this to work right, and then ending up switching to an imperative step which was:
Which removed the need for the SRV file. At this point I had a working SSL installation of NixOS 19.09 with only a synapse server running. Great first step I thought.
+
= Or SSL for DNS =
+Then I had the bright idea to update to 20.09 so that I could run the Element web client instead of Riot (now rebranded). That was naive in hindsight. ACME, it's nixOS module and even perhaps the underlying software logo may have bugs that made their way into 20.09 and these bugs occur specifically when upgrading from the older ACME client. In order to fix this I had to delete the old user account and started fresh.
+It didn't help that I would often run into Rate Limiting due to the way the nixOS ACME module works. I had to be particularly careful when running a rebuild otherwise I'd hit the rate limit. This meant I couldn't just try random fixes and hope it worked. I really had to read the logs, come to understand what was happening and why (and in case it was a rate limit just wait 1 - 3 hours before doing anything). This was a useful experience.
+
These resources were especially helpful in debugging ACME issues:
= Finally =
+Once I fixed the Let's Encrypt requests being sent, I was left with a beautiful static site hosted at sealight.xyz, the matrix server that federates at chat.sealight.xyz; with all handles will be of the form @user:sealight.xyz, and an Element client running at element.sealight.xyz that points users to create an account at my instance by default.
+
If I'm being honest I still don't understand all the intracacies of my own configuration. NixOS does an excellent job of abstracting away so much of the configuration troubles. I'm finally beginning to understand how to do things with this tool.
+However it cannot abstract away everything. I need to learn nginx configuration, and what the hell SNI, SRV and .well-known have in common that makes them able to mask the URL in handles.

Early on in my foray into digital music, I decided I didn't want to use a DAW. Partially because I knew doing so on Linux would be limiting, partly because I like to do things differently. My proclivity for single purpose devices naturally got me excited about norns when I heard about it. Not being a musicion I found it hard to justify paying $800USD for what could turn out to be just a toy.
+When I learnt about the DIY versioun pased on an RPi, I knew I had to try it. A toy like the norns is certainly worth a hundredish dollars. Even more exciting to go from "no electronics experience" to "i built a music machine from PCB up".
+So I'm now that guy. Decided to learn how to read electronics schematics so that I can build a linux machine to avoid using a DAW on a different Linux machine.

I've learnt a few ways to make digital music now, but I haven't actually Finished a Song. All I have is ways to make noise. In order to record a song I need a good microphone.
+
I can create sounds in TidalCycles, VCV Rack, lsdj, and nanoloop. Soon I'll also have a norns too.
+I need learn how to mix and produce a finished track through something like ardour or reaper.
+I've been able to install some synths (helm) and route those to Ardour.
+I need to learn how to create midi notes that are played through that synth
+I've configured patchage to route midi to various applications and been able to control VCV Rack and Helm through midi
+I need to learn how to use a sequencer effectively
+I need to learn to use synths to create the sounds I want and turn those sounds into loops and those loops into tracks and those tracks into songs
I want to turn box into a music machine. Run SuperCollider + Tidal, Ardour + Synths, VCV-Rack and route things all around. I need a microphone to record things, an audio interface to work with and a powerful enough system to pull it all together.

In the interest of sharing Kitaab online I wanted to include more written explanations of my understanding. My idea is to write stories to accompany what I did, in the interest of solidifying my own understanding.
The reason we care about the degree of a note in the scale, is because we can use it to talk about different kinds of chords in a sequence
+For the each key we can talk about it's chords. A good way to think about some songs, is major chords numbered by degree of the note. That way we can talk about the same chord progression in different keys.
+
hence, chord progressions can be written as numbers 1 - 6
+A chord progression and key unlocks your capacity to see the music matrix
So I finally got Shaarli all configured. It turns out the Network Redirection Error that I was facing had to do with nginx Server Blocks aka Virtual Hosts
+Setting the port and IP address as the virtual host name during Shaarli setup led to some strange re-direction that neither FF nor Chrome were happy to display (though cURL didn't have any issues). I fixed this by disabling nextcloud which previously owned the non-port server host and made shaarli the only web-app running. This led to the redirect working fine and able to continue as normal.
+The setup still isn't quite reproducible because I need to do ln -s $(nix eval nixos.shaarli.outPath)/* $dataDir to place all the shaarli files in the dataDir, then chown shaarli:shaarli $dataDir and finally cp config.php $dataDir/config.php to get everything running.
+I had much more sucess with debugging after setting php_admin_value[error_log] = "/var/log/nginx/phpfpm.log" and using strace -p <phpfpm-pid> so that I actually knew what was going wrong. I learnt that when using root = pkgs.shaarli and setting SHAARLI_CONFIG even though shaarli does read the right config file, it doesn't seem to apply that to reading the data directory as defined by the config and was still trying to access the nix store data folder which was causing issues.
+Anyways I think I now know enough that I should be able to re-configure everything pretty easily if it breaks. So Success!!

Basically I've learnt that running php web-apps are a nightmare, and that I don't really understand nginx, fastcgi, phpfpm at all really.
+For the past ~2 weeks I've been trying to rebuild bowl to be running on NixOS, and I've come up against many difficulties, and lost all the data in both of these services...
+
I had issues with getting shaarli to read the environment variable as defined in it's nix derivation. So instead, Timo (the package maintainer) told me another solution is to just ln -s the package directory into somewhere it can read/write to since that's what the environment variable is supposed to do anyway. Once I did this it was easy enough to get Shaarli running. I did have to be careful with the nginx config because I'd accidentally disabled the API. Currently my Shaarli install
+
Wallabag has been another story. It seems like upstream is broken because it's overwriting a php function (mb_string is the package and mb_str_replace is the function) that php says it can't overwrite.
+
Before I managed to get these to run on bare metal, I was using docker once again to run the services. But since Nix is declarative, and I have no idea how docker volumes work, it wiped everytime I ran nixos-rebuild switch, which remains a problem I haven't quite solved. I somehow managed to get the docker install working, but I don't believe it to be declarative because I did exec into the docker container and ran some esoteric database migration in order to get it to work.
+
Further more my main issue currently is that in order to do anything in nixOS I need to be able to write the language, understand the options, and then all the services that the options declaratively define. The way I currently run any of the infrastructure is through googling around and hoping to find a module or someone else trying to run the same software, but more profficient at nixOS than I am. That needs to change, since even for services written in easy to run languages like Go, I can't write the nix file to get them to work.

bowl is on it's last legs. It will only boot after much cajoling.
+After many false starts, I finally got it all working. I can't risk switching it off anymore, and I hope it doesn't overheat.
+
I created an install.sh script for legacy-bios with encrypted disk and a password, which is very cool
+I want one for UEFI now too
+
I kept trying to change the names of the logical volumes and volume groups in LVM which is why I was running into issues
+I learnt that GRUB 2.06 should contain the necessary patch for LUKS2 (it's been implemented already)
+I couldn't figure out how to install shaarli. The package in nixpkgs is just creating the necessary files in /nix/store/-shaarli and I'm not sure how to configure nginx to use that yet.
+I managed to install taskd server which has a nixOS wrapper for all the certs and stuff, but haven't got it to sync yet
+I've installed nextcloud, but haven't recovered the backup yet.
+
I'm still not very confident in my abilities to run a server on nixOS, though this is a good learning opportunity. I don't quite understand all the settings and how to find them, but I've been reading a lot more .nix files which helps.
bowl is certainly nearing teh end of it's life. It has served me well. I will need to replace it imminently.
+
I feel so much weaker without it. I need it back now. Currently it will only boot after waiting for around 10 minutes (HDD failure?) and even then the nix installer was flashing error messages (I know the installer works because I booted on a seperate laptop)
+
Luckily I have all my data backed up. I was going to wipe it anyway. maybe look into getting a replacement drive to boot off of while I think of what to do in terms of building out a NAS.

Once I'd built my first computer (which was actually very late, perhaps sometime in 2016) I needed to figure out what to do with my old one. My old one was a mid-spec laptop from 4+ years prior to that, but it had a decent graphics card at the time that allowed me to play some of the games I'd wanted to -- Though in part the small specs lead me to prefer indie games and roguelikes, the only games I'm even remotely interested anymore.
+I figured I'd try and configure it to run as a server. By this point I'd been running exclusively Linux for a couple years and had come across interesting server software. Perenially interested in Privacy and Free Software, I decided to see what I could muster up.
+Thus began my on-going experiment with Docker. At the time I knew just enough system adiminstration to be dangerous and hadn't previously set up nginx. Since Docker seemed a lot easier, that's what I went with.
+The docker instances I stood up then are the very same images that have been running on my server this entire time, I'm a little ashamed to admit. They're horrible out of date, and basically the only sort of server admin work I did was write scripts so they boot on startup and kick them when they fell down. Being the only one who used this software made that a totally fine solution for me.
+Now, I'm trying to level up once again. I've learnt a lot more about server administration, and I'm trying to achieve 201015-2313. The sad part is what stirred me to finally commit to doing this whole process (Backup, Automation and Reliable builds) is losing all the data that I had stored in my bookmarks server since it's inception. That place was a comfy little treasure trove for me I could turn to when I finally needed a tool, book or guide in order to accomplish something. It was a personally curated springboard from which whenever I had an idea, I knew where I should go. It was, in some senses, my Google. Rather than search for something through the public search indexes, I would always choose to search this first.
+And now it's gone. And I never want to let that happen again. So here I am in the dead of night checking all my backups before wiping this ancient machine to imbue it with new life and new power.
+I hope I don't lose any more data, ever. It's a small step for me, in removing a thorn that has been deeply embedded in my technical prowess. 201106-0311 and all.

+%title The New Internet is being born
+:blog:web:notes:
+%date 2020-11-05 19:45
+
I've read many articles about the Old Internet being dead (those that write those articles seem implicitly aware that the "Now Internet" sucks)
+I have a different take. The New Internet is taking root. If you know where to look you can smell the trees.
+
Something similar is the "Cozy Web". You probably have carved out your own cozy web too. "Private" groups filled with your friends. Things that you share with select group(s) and (generally) the corporations that provide that service. Messenger, Telegram, Slack, Discord, $X DMs, Snapchat, Zoom. Maybe you're down with technology or blessed by the Priesthood of Programmers and know someone that runs their own infrastructure, which is certainly much comfier as far as I'm concerned. Whatever it may be, the important factor in the Cozy web is that it's ▓▓▘▙▕▛▟▘▙.
+
The New Internet must happen in public by definition. It's already taking shape. Digital Gardens or Online Personal Notebooks. Some small blogs. IndieWeb. There's (generally) nothing to sell, no obligation to buy. They are welcoming spaces filled with personal expression. Many are just electronic Business Cards, some are dense tome's of intently researched knowledge. Some are Parks and some are Libraries. There are still certainly stalls and small businesses too. But there's no Amazon. No endless trackers. No enmourous data centres. Well, at least in my dreams
+
The tools obviously still need work. Creating and designing a website is not an easy task. Ensuring that it stays running is an ongoing obligation. Most people still don't know about hyper://, ipfs://, or gemini:// hell Google is getting rid of http://! Yet even the alternatives have requirements beyond simply knowing them. Technical skills to use them, resources to have a constantly running computer, dedicated internet and electricity. So even if you can build websites, why would you choose this unknown alternative with all these related problems when you can just pay someone to deal with it.
+
But it is possible. Community oriented services. Public and Personal spaces wrapped in one. I'm trying to build my own Public Personal space here too. Working with the garage door up.

By paying attention to how you feel, one begins to learn many things. One of these is the distinction between like and dislike. One can learn valuable information about oneself by noticing when we like and dislike things. This too is a spectrum, but nonethelss it can be distinguished at ends. Like and dislike. We learn to do more of what we enjoyed, obviously. We also learn an important lesson from what we dislike. We shouldn't learn the opposite lesson though: To turn away and do less of what we don't like. Instead, our goal should be to understand why. What part of ourselves are we afraid of that we experience fear of experiences. Instead we should seek to understand our discomfort and engage with it. Learn from it. That cannot happen if it is discarded. So look at it, don't through away your own reactions. Even if it is a bad reaction. Seek to introduce it into your life in the smallest manner you can handle. And work from there.
+Heavy storms make deep roots.
New Kendrit, hopefully this one goes better.
+Intimately related to the previous Kendrit, but not quite so focused on HPI as general ops regarding my infrastructure as it seems to have been falling down a lot lately.
+
Trying to have fewer tasks that are more important.
Honestly, this kendrit was sort of a failure. I had a large list of things I wanted to do and didn't really do any of them. It's a little upsetting.
+I'm not sure if this can be totally blamed on the Kendrit model yet, as this was a period that was notoriously bad for my sleep, leaving me drained of any useful energy before work let alone after.
+
I recorded the list of items I didn't complete for future reference below

One of the founding principles by which I organize my life (at least rn). It's not a difficult concept. Implementing it is always personal though. Everybody has their own desired consequences that they solve in their own ways. It's part of what makes people beautiful.
+
What I mean by this is primarily that goals are ephmeral. Once achieved they vanish, as though that is the end of the problem, or action, or even outcome. The heroes journey is always cyclical. There are no level ups in real life, you continue with the tools you've delevoped. So build tools.
+
Architect systems of processes such that you can achieve your "goals" reliably, consistently. If a goal is of any value, in most cases it is worth repeating; better. So don't worry about how far you've come, just keep journey-ing. Embrace your ability to instantiate change. Create! Destroy! You are the opponent of Entropy! You cannot win, but at least enjoy the battle.

I bounce from project to project so much because there is a lot I want to do. This often leads to thrashing and not actually doing anything. So in order to Get Things Done™ I needed a way to focus on larger goals over longer periods of time. Hence Kendrit, literally translated as "To Center".

History was already over, but there aren't any endings. There never really were. Tomorrow always beckons, and things inevitably continue to happen. That's where I found myself. Just, happening at the end of history. With no reference to point to, I couldn't tell you what was different. Not even if I wanted to. Anyway, I'm sure you've done enough of this existing thing yourself to figure it out. Things were. How else do I describe it? Existence is. Even at the end of history. There isn't any other way to put it, not now, not before, and certainly not after. Look, look how our language became antiquated. Especially now it is illequiped to describe my time. For even though I can speak of before and now and after, there isn't really any. Distinction I mean. Now was now and will continue to be now, not before, not after.
+And yet, if history is the chronicalling of time, haven't I just contributed a piece?

Even by FOSS zealot standards, I run an esoteric combination of hardware and software. My interests go beyond just "getting things done"; I have a strange fascination with tools themselves. I specifically choose tools I can customize to fit my hand like glove, and the FOSS world has plenty of choices for those so inclined.
+This obsession with obscurity means I end up playing with software that looks like an ASCII video game, but is actually a music tracker, emulates modular synthesizers or is a DSL in an already esoteric programming language for livecoding
+Even when it comes to hardware, I use a phone you probably haven't heard of (it has a physical keyboard! in 2020!), and my smartwatch is literally no longer available for purchase, that I revived through a battery transplant.
+
And yet, the NixOS community has packages for all of these. There's a derivation of the Pebble SDK, TidalCycles and VCV-Rack. It's awesome. Even though they don't natively package all the vim plugins I'm using, I've gotten the hang of updating nixpkgs to include these plugins, and I've even made a couple PRs so they are available to the wider community! I didn't think the intersection between FOSS zealots who use NixOS, like livecoding or are die-hard Pebble fans would be greater than 1, but here I am😊

Seems Lidarr and Radarr both require me to point them at my current collection and have the downloader be remote. this isn't such a big problem as I can just install them on my laptop, and run them over localhost, no proxy necessary. i can keep jackett installed remotely and use that as the converter. this should hopefully make it easier to keep my libraries intact as well.
So today marks the end of my vim kendrit. As always I'm wishing I did better at it, but I have a habit of setting aspirational goals. I like the two week format, given that this was the first one I did. While I didn't exclusively focus on Vim stuff, that was'nt my intention, and just having this kendrit set gave me a direction to turn to when I was not sure about what to focus on. I liked that. I also feel like I am at least a bit better at vim now. I made a contribution to vimwiki-sync to ensure that it runs on NeoVim too, and that's something! I've never had an PR be included before 😊 It felt really good to have finally contributed to an open source project and have it accepted. I also picked up on a few things that I'd be meaning to learn for a while, but I'm not yet fluent at them. I think if there's something I should improve on for Kendrit's it's writing stuff down more. That was a big help, but also I had to go through the source material a few times before I realized I really needed to write things down.
+
I hadn't thought of this before, but this does impact my ability to do devhackgenerative stuff. Though I suppose to be fair I hadn't really been doing that for a while now. Perhaps I could find a way to incorporate that into my Kendrits.
i realized that this is about organizing information, but thats also literally the purpose of the data involved in creating kitaab. its important to remember to distinguish between the mix of meta data and data held in this "book" and all the data that is produced in using computers. however the organization principles apply to both. hence i am starting to use this more like a log of all things. in doing so, the idea of Puralek and Kitaab become inextriabcly intertwined and must be synthesized into something more
+
this struck me during the reordering of /now and seeing now listed down there as an intergration idea makes sense, but not the scope i originally thought.
+
use /now to order the index page of Kitaab
+some sort of averaging between total itetms and change in items
+
= Integration ideas =
+generate a calendar that updates over nextcloud through task warrior events
+Be able to link the Tasks list from a specific directory into the /now page
+automation based on the above tags idea: feedreader > star > based on content action (add to jackett for music, save to images for image, etc) and have a living orgamism of information
currently taskwiki is broken because it requires a new version of tasklib (2.2.1)

+%date 2020-09-27 19:36
+
Many people admire modern software. The ease with which we can do incredible tasks is truly powerful; navigation, translation, taxes. Consumer technology has changed the way people operate. But it is a brittle tool. Trying to do anything outside of the scope of what was designed it falls apart. We cannot inspect it's workings, or configure personalizations to our own benefit. We do not get to build on top of the giants, simply pass through them in a very specific way.
+
There are those who refuse these terms entirely and opt to build their own tools. These craftspeople will forge the tools that fit their needs best. Building foundations at bedrock allows for the most control. Make the tools exactly as you need them. These people garner a deep respect from me.
+
I land somewhere in the middle.
+
A big development in my understanding of the craft was from the realization that I can just inspect open source code. After all that is the point. For a long time I was scared to peek behind the curtain, afraid that the runes would be illegible. But that was a silly fear. A big part of how I learn now is just looking at how other people solved a problem. Afterall the patterns are adaptable.
+
Being able to inspect and understand code doesn't have the same benefits as having built them entirely yourself. In exchange you are granted height, and as much control as you can muster. Can you master somebody else's spell enough to make it your own? I know the limits of my own power and so limiting the complexity is desirable.
+
No single person can understand the entirety of their toolchain. We must depend on each other in order to wield our artifacts at all. There's always another layer below 'bedrock'. The operating system underlies application space. The instruction set underlies the OS and BIOS. The silicon underlies the BIOS. The silicon must be extracted which requires additional industrial scale tools to shape and form.
+
Will you chisel away at the void, to craft the perfect tool? Or will bow to cosmic powers of the corpers you summon, happy enough be granted outcomes of incantions.
+
I will choose to stand of the shoulders of the giants I can understand. Those that I can also control.

Attention Conservation Notice: What follows is long, self-absorbed, and boring to look at; much of it was written ten or even twenty years ago.
Magic, as we seem to understand it, is the ability to affect change in ways we didn't think possible.
+Once you understand how the mechanism, by definition it is no longer magic.
+
In order to manifest impossible realities first we must be able to imagine them, hence belief is our primary tool. Those who search for these techniques are wixen. Our abilities tend to be localized and syncronicity the multiplier. Each may have their own rituals, but cooperation is our strength.
+
Enacting change is the purpose of all effort. Our tools must be as varied as the uses for energy, then. Change may be the only constant, but our mortality prohibits us from simply waiting for what we wish to happen.

+You want to download thousands of lines of useful, but random, code from the internet, for free, run it in a production web server, or worse, your user’s machine, trust it with your paying users’ data and reap that sweet dough. We all do. But then you can’t be bothered to check the license, understand the software you are running and still want to blame the people who make your business a possibility when mistakes happen, while giving them nothing for it? This is both incompetence and entitlement.

27/04 - thinking if calling it "the others" in a find the others way
+
Thinking about situations for when people ask me about instagram/fb/how to contact them generally, and what I can do about it. I was thinking the best way is to start a community of people that i can invite if I think they're cool. The barrier to entry is actually a good thing? But this is not exclusively the context I have been thinking about this in. I also would like to start some kind of node/hub thing like fox has got going on with lain.haus/pixie.town. but i'm not sure what i'm after and I don't think I want to just give out open invites.
+
I'm thinking about whether I would want my irl friends to join it or online friends and how to shape the community such that everyone feels welcome. If it were to be with IRL folk, I would create a card on which is printed either a unique (probably expensive but "more secure" -- should that matter?) or just a link to sign up with my community. The trouble with these is always getting it off the ground. And of course the scale I'm looking for. i wouldn't want to hand out over 100 invites at least to start with -- but I'd need it to all be federated which isn't too difficult all the software already exists
+
speaking of software I'm questioning what services to run. What kind of community am I targeting here? How should I react to the people joining? I think I'd want to have a chat server and some kind of voice communication channel, i think that is important. at the very least and probably git too. i'd need pixelfed for insta-normies, but i'm wondering whether to do pleroma/mastodon. It could really strengthen the community given that we don't have much tying us together to talk about in one chat room. chat rooms need to be focused, toots don't. maybe I should skip out on a chat server? maybe make it exclusive? even cybre.space can't get it's matrix room to take off.
+on a technical level I'd have to figure out how to make all the sign ups happen through 1 signup, or some sort of form? this is already turniing into a very large project...
+
Also thinking about what to call it. I have many ideas relating to a garden? I'm picturing a quiet cove or hidden bushland deep in a forest. A magical spot that we work together to build and create and own and share with others we trust. a faerie circle.
+
thats it. i figured out what i'm trying to do here. I'm trying to get 80 people together to form a cohort so we can split into smaller groups and find the others. everybody should get 3 invites, and i will start by inviting 20 people. now i need to think hard about which 20 people to start with, how to get a diverse crew and write a story to convince people to join, and somehow figure all the rest out.

%title How to grow Mushrooms
+:cook:grow:solarpunk:
+%date 11-05-21 20:23
+
= 7 Basic Steps =
+
+
Grow a mushroom culture
+
Needs a high nutrient petridish
+
Needs a clean environment so that mushrooms aren't competing with bacteria
+
+
+
Take the mycelium and put it on sterilized grains
+
Expand the grain to create a mushroom spawn
+
Add the spawn to some substrate (coffee grounds!)
+
Wait for the mycelium to engulf the substrate
+
Change the environmental conditions
+
Generally dropping the temperature and increasing humidity
= basics =
+nix is a functional, immutable package manager
+nix (the package manager) is written in the nix language
+nixOS is a linux distribution built on top of the nix package manager
+
in nixOS there are 2 kinds of packages. Regular packages and modules which do the configuration management of said packages. Both of these are written in the nix language. Even on nixOS configuration files generally cannot be set through the package manager. Insead home-manager can be used.
= nix-isms =
+dev environments:
+ generally the right way to define dev environments is through a shell.nix file which gets invoked when calling nix-shell
+ in this file we define which packages we expect in order to build and run the program
+
from there we can add it to a specific version of nixpkgs to reference and build tests, as well as flesh out a CI pipeline
+
+
= build options =
+in NixOS it often feels like the options are the magic part of building software. everyone seems to have just the right options in order to build the software they need
+however, fear not, you too can be a master of options by searching at:
+https://search.nixos.org/options or nixos-option
= Quick Tips =
+\l List all Databases
+\c <database> Connect to a database
+\dt List all tables (once connected to a db)
+DELETE FROM <table> WHERE <condition> delete rows from a table
+Strings must be wrapped in ''
+create a table:
+CREATE TABLE <table_name>(
+column1 datatype,
+column2 datatype,
+column3 datatype,
+.....
+columnN datatype,
+PRIMARY KEY( one or more columns )

+to start tidal cycles:
+run 'scide' (or run the SuperCollider IDE) in terminal to start SuperCollider server
+execute the following code in scide:
+include("SuperDirt")
+SuperDirt.start
+
open a new terminal and run tidalvim
+you should now be running tidal, use ctrl+E to pass lines to tidal from vim
+
= basics =
+when you add more sounds to each cycle, it speeds up, the time of the cycle remains constant

+d1 $ sound "bd:2 bd bd ~"
+ ^ ^ ^
+ \ \ --- is a rest note
+ \ --- is the sound that is going to be played; play the 3rd (0 indexed) sound in bd
+ --- magical $ notation
+
= subsequences =
+using [] we can create sub sequences that run "together" in the same step of each cycle
+this can be done recursively
+
using this we can achieve nice compound time signatures:
+d1 $ n "[0 2 1] [4 4 5]" # s "drum"
+
alternative notation:
+d1 $ n "0 2 1 . 4 4 5" # s "drum"
+
= speeding, slowing, repeating =
+
+
is the same as a subsequence (s "kick*2" == s "[kick kick]")
+! is the same as repeating the sound (s "kick!2" == s "kick kick")
+/ "divides" the step into n steps and alternates them
+
+
we can combine these to shorten lengthy things:
+
s "[kick [lo hi]/2]*2" == s "kick lo kick hi"
+
= polyphony =
+, allows us to have multiple "tracks" in the same pattern but they must be in a subsequence!
+
d1 $ s "[bd sn, lo hi lo lo]"
+
d1 $ s "bd ~ sn ~"
+d2 $ s "lo hi lo lo"
+
are the same
+
{} changes tidalcycles to make the steps align instead of the cycles aligning

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” ~ Robert Anson Heinlein
An intuition about the "appearing trillions of times in a family tree" is to realize that family trees are actually a binary tree extending backwards in time--i.e. each person has exactly two parents, who have exactly two parents, and so on. So N generations back, there are 2^N individuals. Obviously, there weren't 2^100 people on Earth at any point in time, so this backwards tree starts folding back on itself, containing duplications. Go back far enough and there is a set of individuals who were alive at a particular point in time that completely cover that forward tree.
“Neither one. Both ways are simple-minded– they are only for people who cannot cope with contradiction and ambiguity.” - Neal Stephenson's The Diamond Age
“It is not necessary for a man to be actively bad in order to make a failure in life; simple inaction will accomplish it. Nature has everywhere written her protest against idleness; everything which ceases to struggle toward an ideal, the constant effort to get higher and further, which develops manhood and character.”
‘If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. ’
"More broadly, nobody is going to teach you to think for yourself. A large fraction of what people around you believe is mistaken. Internalize this and practice coming up with your own worldview. The correlation between it and those around you shouldn't be too strong unless you think you were especially lucky in your initial conditions."
The very idea of placing an embargo on labor time is so outrageous as to be unthinkable. It will take some time for people to adjust. People who today would not consider walking off the job to win union recognition have to be convinced to walk off to emancipate themselves from wage slavery entirely.
Because the link pattern is so minimal and succinct, writing wiki links interrupts your flow of thought less than other wiki link patterns.

+Once you understand how the mechanism, by definition it is no longer magic.
+
+In order to manifest impossible realities first we must be able to imagine them, hence belief is our primary tool. Those who search for these techniques are wixen. Our abilities tend to be localized and syncronicity the multiplier. Each may have their own rituals, but cooperation is our strength.

+Enacting change is the purpose of all effort. Our tools must be as varied as the uses for energy, then. Change may be the only constant, but our mortality prohibits us from simply waiting for what we wish to happen.

+%title Standing on the Shoulders of Understandable Giants
+:writing:blog:
+%date 2020-09-27 19:36
+
+Many people admire modern software. The ease with which we can do incredible tasks is truly powerful; navigation, translation, taxes. Consumer technology has changed the way people operate. But it is a brittle tool. Trying to do anything outside of the scope of what was designed it falls apart. We cannot inspect it's workings, or configure personalizations to our own benefit. We do not get to build on top of the giants, simply pass through them in a very specific way.
+
+There are those who refuse these terms entirely and opt to build their own tools. These craftspeople will forge the tools that fit their needs best. Building foundations at bedrock allows for the most control. Make the tools exactly as you need them. These people garner a deep respect from me.
+
+I land somewhere in the middle.
+
+A big development in my understanding of the craft was from the realization that I can just inspect open source code. After all that is the point. For a long time I was scared to peek behind the curtain, afraid that the runes would be illegible. But that was a silly fear. A big part of how I learn now is just looking at how other people solved a problem. Afterall the patterns are adaptable.
+
+Being able to inspect and understand code doesn't have the same benefits as having built them entirely yourself. In exchange you are granted height, and as much control as you can muster. Can you master somebody else's spell enough to make it your own? I know the limits of my own power and so limiting the complexity is desirable.
+
+No single person can understand the entirety of their toolchain. We must depend on each other in order to wield our artifacts at all. There's always another layer below 'bedrock'. The operating system underlies application space. The instruction set underlies the OS and BIOS. The silicon underlies the BIOS. The silicon must be extracted which requires additional industrial scale tools to shape and form.
+
+Will you chisel away at the void, to craft the perfect tool? Or will bow to cosmic powers of the corpers you summon, happy enough be granted outcomes of incantions.
+
+I will choose to stand of the shoulders of the giants I can understand. Those that I can also control.

+%title Idea behind Puralek
+:puralek:writing:
+%date 2020-10-13 22:07
+
+i realized that this is about organizing information, but thats also literally the purpose of the data involved in creating kitaab. its important to remember to distinguish between the mix of meta data and data held in this "book" and all the data that is produced in using computers. however the organization principles apply to both. hence i am starting to use this more like a log of all things. in doing so, the idea of Puralek and Kitaab become inextriabcly intertwined and must be synthesized into something more
+
+this struck me during the reordering of /now and seeing now listed down there as an intergration idea makes sense, but not the scope i originally thought.
+
+use /now to order the index page of Kitaab
+some sort of averaging between total itetms and change in items
+
+= Integration ideas =
+generate a calendar that updates over nextcloud through task warrior events
+Be able to link the Tasks list from a specific directory into the /now page
+automation based on the above tags idea: feedreader > star > based on content action (add to jackett for music, save to images for image, etc) and have a living orgamism of information

+%title Vim Kendrit Review
+:kendrit:vim:review:
+%date 2020-10-15 21:53
+
+So today marks the end of my vim kendrit. As always I'm wishing I did better at it, but I have a habit of setting aspirational goals. I like the two week format, given that this was the first one I did. While I didn't exclusively focus on Vim stuff, that was'nt my intention, and just having this kendrit set gave me a direction to turn to when I was not sure about what to focus on. I liked that. I also feel like I am at least a bit better at vim now. I made a contribution to vimwiki-sync to ensure that it runs on NeoVim too, and that's something! I've never had an PR be included before 😊 It felt really good to have *finally* contributed to an open source project and have it accepted. I also picked up on a few things that I'd be meaning to learn for a while, but I'm not yet fluent at them. I think if there's something I should improve on for Kendrit's it's writing stuff down more. That was a big help, but also I had to go through the source material a few times before I realized I really needed to write things down.
+
+I hadn't thought of this before, but this does impact my ability to do [[dev]] [[hack]] [[generative]] stuff. Though I suppose to be fair I hadn't really been doing that for a while now. Perhaps I could find a way to incorporate that into my Kendrits.

+%date 2020-10-15 23:13
+
+Computers are fragile things. Data is lost, for either hardware or software reasons. Software goes out of date, hardware becomes obsolete.
+Why do we put up with this?
+I want to be able to point any computer that I rightfully have ownership of, point it to a server of mine, and be jacked right back into my setup.

+As a developer and enthusiast I refuse to have to configure my tools over and over again. I learn them deeply and set them up to be exactly how I want.

+That is the goal.

+- Handling the data once on the phone (companion app?)
