  Every now and then this question comes up. It’s a timeless software engineering conundrum. Kind of like how med students might start to think they have all kinds of diseases and conditions because they’re learning all these symptoms.

  Software engineers, especially new ones, tend to be heavily biased toward applying technical solutions to non-technical problems. Most never actually grow out of this.

  I’ll advise what I advise every time someone approaches me or one of my peer groups with thiw very question:

  Get yourself a notebook and a pen.

  I’m dead serious, not trolling, and not some kind of technophobe zealot.

  When it comes down to it, if you let go of what you think you need in a to-do list app, you’ll find that what you actually need much simpler.

  Notebooks are e2e encrypted. Self hosted. Offline. As ephemeral as you like. Indexable for search. Versatile. Take a picture of a page if you really want to. OCR it if you need to.

  Pen and paper.

  No, you’re not looking to understand. You’re looking to persuade.

  love it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨issues setting up nginx as an https proxy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Seems like something you may need to change in Transmission’s configuration, somewhere. Because it’s Transmission that is redirecting you and what you want is for that redirect to inclide the uri prefix.

  Otherwise, I see two options:

  • use a regex location block and match against all expected patterns
  • use a dedicated subdomain (i.e: server block) for this (each) service you want to proxy

  The latter is what I would do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the easiest way to have a self hosted git server?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  SSH is all you need. You can clone directly from one .git directory to another.

  e.g

  git remote add desktop git@desktop:project/.git
  git push desktop main --set-upstream

  The way this comment is written doesn’t sound anything like the OP or the GitHub issue. Different tone, different dialect/spelling… lot of linguistic red flags. Not that I’m judging either way, it’s just suspicious how vastly different they are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Log monitoring software?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In years past, I’ve used Elasticsearch and Kibana. The learning curve is steep and the system resource requirements warrant a dedicated machine, but once you get it dialed, it’s really effective as a centralized logging server.

  Prometheus and Grafana are for time-series data (metrics), not logs. If you’re already getting that from netdata, don’t bother with redundant solutions.

  syslog is about as idiomatic as it gets for log management in linux, but i don’t have enough experience using it effectively to give any pointers there. If you don’t really know what you want, yet, and just want to collect logs from all the things and see them in one place so you can begin to try and make sense of them and make refinements from there, then syslog seems like an excellent place to start.
