But what if i struggle to blog about what i struggle with? ;)

It is a good plan. Quite often, i'll come across something that wasn't quite documented or posted about yet and it truly is a golden opportunity to blog about something unique that is useful, as well as actually help others that come across the same issue.

to get line numbers:

:set nu

to remove line numbers:

:set nonu

the line numbers aren't added to the file. they're just shown on the vi editor.

and if you like vim & git i highly recommend: vim-gitgutter

my list goes from best to worst:

.com

.io

.fyi

.co

.net

.xyz i have not seen anything noteworthy on other than personal sites.

i feel like .fyi is going to blow up in the next 10 years. there are TONS of good .fyi domains available and they are typically arount $8 to register as opposed to the $34 .io domains.

I have sem.fyi available and several other nice 2-3 letter .fyi domains at https://rad.fyi

The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster

Read it every year from 3rd grade to 8th.

posted this on another thread as well, looked at Jitsi and someone from our security team pointed out this open authentication issue: https://github.com/jitsi/jitsi-meet/issues/5720

best alternative i've seen so far was a webrtc setup with okta authentication. https://github.com/rdegges/chatapp

i found the 1st chapter to be a bit of a slog as you say, but after that it picked up for me. and there were hints of what was to come in the 1st chapter.

but 100%, it was a little challenging to get into initially.

i also took breaks reading it as i read other books. it can definitely be digested piecemeal as it's a collection of thoughts.

one of many great lessons in that book. happy to have finally read it after it came up on here a few times.

a juggling illusion i learned is juggling 4 balls is really just juggling 2 in each hand.

you can also juggle bouncing off the floor, lighter objects (scarves, tissues), various patterns (above instead of under, 1 up 2 up) and if really adventurous try while unicycling!

lol, now is 3 dots funny? or is it 4?

it's chess. apple's move. interesting to watch. hats off to the dev for playing the game. rooting for ya!

the Game Gear was awesome! obsessed over the writeup for that in Consumer Reports for Kids until i could save up for one.

agreed. you have to be very careful taking out your hook.

trout is my favorite fish to watch & to eat. i've also thrown back quite a few.

fun fact: in a pinch if all you have is a little bit of pringles shake them up into little crumbs, prepare the fish, sprinkle the pringles crumbles inside the fish, cook wrapped in tin foil near a fire's embers and you have some good eating with a bit of seasoning.

check out the mortgage calculator i made: https://www.mortgagecalculator.io/

no dark patterns, loads quickly, uses fathom for analytics so no tracking. There are affiliate links to LendingTree, but they're just text links and i tried to be non-obtrusive to the ux.

also, have an android app that just hit 5,000 installs since being launched in mid-April: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.mortgagecal...

currently ranking #3 for 'mortgage calculator' on google play. pretty proud of that! beating out Zillow and Quicken's mortgage calculators.

use less for safe read-only mode and to utilize vim commands still

esc-b to jump back a word on the terminal

esc-f to jump forward a word on the terminal

nerdcommenter (my favorite vim plugin)

git-gutter (my 2nd favorite vim plugin)

!-2 (repeats 2nd to last command)

practice! https://www.shortcutfoo.com/app/dojos/vim

no, definitely not. but it's an enjoyable fictional read that has lots of devops concepts but isn't a flat out tech book. i found that to be a nice change of pace from the non-stop barrage of tech articles, tutorials, and straight to the point o'reilly books i'm typically reading.

it also highlights real world examples that i could definitely relate to and thought that i was alone in going through. clearly i'm not alone on it if there's this book written with people going through similar frustrating experiences.

i use "search for it".

i've completely removed said word from my vocabulary. it can be done. break yo' mind free!

For anyone looking for more info on the Brave browser i did a quick writeup about it: https://www.tkjef.com/blog/what-is-brave-browser/

Was a diehard Vivaldi user, but Brave's performance has won me over.

just started using netlify after making my own tool that did something similar and being a holdout for awhile. it was a smooth experience and i am now a happy user. put up a mortgage calculator app: https://www.mortgagecalculator.io/

for Amazon S3 i setup the s3, cloudfront & cert manually (should put it in terraform, but it takes just a second). here's a nice article to walk you through that (says it's for hugo, but you could use it for any ssg): https://agop.me/post/https-enabled-portfolio-hugo-s3-cloudfr...

then i build and deploy with a bash tool i made called NanoCD: https://github.com/tkjef/NanoCD

has lots of helpful options. easy to wrap your head around. easy to add whatever workflows,tests you'd like.

diggin' Prod Bugs. definitely could relate. Opinions is pretty good as well.

also using OsmAnd but just on android with Tor & NoRoot Firewall. takes a second to load the route. but allows you to download the maps and use offline. always have Play Store disabled unless there's an app i have to download briefly. once done, i uninstall the app and disable the Play Store.

https://www.4-9s.com for containers, ci/cd, ha, iac + testing

here's my git log alias: alias gl='git log --date=local --pretty=format:"%C(124)%ad %C(24)%h %C(34)%an %C(252)%s%C(178)%d" --stat -p'

has nice color coding around the date, person committing, commit hash, and message.

I'm making a project similar to this called NanoCD: https://github.com/tkjef/nanocd

except can be used with any SSG or plain static sites on S3, GCS or Spaces (from digitalocean).

The dependencies are noted clearly in the README. ;)

i've been playing Rocket League. that has kept my interest, is skills-based, takes time to learn, and has a sports-like element to it that is pleasant. for anyone that doesn't know you drive a car around on a soccer field and play soccer (or hockey or basketball). and you can fly through the air with boosts that can get very complex.

highly agree books are where it's at for some in depth knowledge.

after that, you have better honed long tail search queries for online.

search each chapter title. no need to give free promo to a major ad company.

the less we use this as a verb, the less the next generation will use it.

and cheers on your nanodegree. i've finished 2 myself.
