Love when I go to check something and it's unresponsive. Then I look and find this:

user@host:~$ df -h

My next 15 minutes are planned out for me. Used to be 20, I had to google the lvm command format.

I've been using https://nginxproxymanager.com/ for over a year now. This has simplified my life so much. Auto updating LetsEncrypt SSL certs. Easy to add new services. What is not to love. I deployed the docker install on it's own VM.

Are you a unix person? Do you host your own SSH at home to access "stuff"? If so, what port do you use to get your session started?

Going through some old photos that have matched people's faces in my Immich server, I discovered something important...

I found Jesus.

Any Ubuntu-ites venture outside of the standard Gnome? I tried KDE are over a year of a co-worker talking me up to it. I chose poorly, a 4k laptop. Apparently the 24.10 Kbuntu install did not scale properly. I then needed to mess with the scaling AND the pointer size settings. And apps didn't seem to want to resize without a restart. This was a horrible introduction to KDE for me.

Why do I still use Chrome?

Well I came from Firefox back when FoxMarks (not yet was the only way to sync your bookmarks. Chrome came to the scene and when I used it, it had a central profile that would sync everything to the google account I already had. I install Chrome, log in, start working. It was not painful. Damn simple. That's how Chrome got me.

Here we are over a 17 years later and things feel different. I feel entrenched. I look at Firefox as the most likely alternative to Chrome (or Chrome variant) and all I see is how it doesn't do what Chrome does.

I use Profiles to separate my work, other work, and play. I'm typing this up on my Play profile. I have a Work profile for my day job use. I also have others for my side gig stuff. And Chrome has this feature front and center, and most importantly... Integrated. Firefox profiles are just as tacked on as they were in Mozilla days. And they do not integrate with Windows taskbar. I can't pin an icon that launches a specific profile like I can with Chrome. Note, on Linux I think I can't do this with Chrome either. Anyone have workflow suggestions for this on Windows and Linux?

PWAs, I do this for a few web apps, not all. But I like opening a new window with just that web app in it. I think if I dig enough, I can likely construct a command line to do this. I even tried the PWA plugin on Firefox but oddly it's broken on my Win11 24H2. Seems to work fine on my Linux Mint laptop. I have to play around with this more.

If I finally get serious about moving off Chrome, I can do it. It's just going to have a transition period where I try to force a drop in replacement verses just relearn a few things. In the end I'll likely get there.

Today I did a writeup on a ssh client I love and adore. It's a cross platform (big 3) graphical client and I enjoy it as a replacement for WSL on windows and still give me a familiar view on Linux too.

But today's writeup was a bug report on the replaced ssh engine they put in the past week. Ssh keys are still broken for me and I discovered a few other things too along my investigation. It was a somewhat length dive for a github issue, but I hope it is well received, especially if it helps fix more issues.

Sometimes I dig at home and find stuff I have. Sometimes I just need to move something.

I still have the console. I may have a second one in storage. Both I believe are bricks now that the cloud services are dead. Maybe android 4 bricks if I wanted to really get creative. The path to custom ROM'ing these beasties was shaky at best, but I did have one done in a dual boot IIRC.

I have 4 controllers and always keep an eye out for possible uses even today.
