As Twitter continues to burst into flames and Elon Musk runs around Twitter HQ not knowing what to do while the building falls down around his head, you’ve decided to see what the deal is with this whole “Mastodon” thingy you’ve been hearing about.
In one of my recent articles, “Life, Blog Stats, and {No} Profit”, I gave a breakdown on the number of visitors to my blog since I first created it in 2018. Today I want to focus on generating some of that data from the web server access logs themselves.
When you’re learning to code, loops are one of those things that tend to trip people up a few times before they get the hang of it. There are a few different types of loops, but today we’re going to focus on the “for” loop.
Last year I wondered if the original FreeNAS Mini can run the latest version of FreeNAS. Turns out it can, as long as you replace the original USB storage used for the OS with a larger drive. At the end of that article I said “Coming up next, a detailed step-by-step guide of the hardware installation of the mSATA card in the FreeNAS Mini. Well folks, welcome to life with ADHD. If you look at any of my posts since then you won’t find that detailed post. So uh… let’s make it shall we?
It’s almost been three years since this website went online, so I figured it would be interesting to dive into the history of this blog, and also take a look at some statistics regarding visitors and money.
I built a new storage server for myself two years ago to replace my existing FreeNAS Mini storage server that I purchased in 2013. The FreeNAS Mini was still perfectly OK, I had just outgrown the system to continue using it as my main storage. Since then the FreeNAS Mini has been sitting idle, but it still has 8TB of storage and can be upgraded to 16TB. I figured that with a little bit of updating it would be a perfect companion to have next to my main computer in my home office.
It’s been a little over three months since I’ve been using my iPhone full time, so I figured it was time to provide an update to the original post (The Perfect Cell Phone (for Me) Doesn’t Exist. Or… Why I Finally Broke Down and Bought an iPhone) with my thoughts.
So, has anything changed? Well I still hate Apple. But the iPhone… is significantly better than the last time I tried to use one.
