I'm instructing at our club's annual performance driving school this weekend and having at least as much fun as the students.

#FunWithCars

"For the first time in 25 years, they're hearing rocket engines being tested."

We certainly are. Several nights a week, and I love hearing it.

💪 I did a gitops to my omg.lol pages.

I've spent the past couple of weeks exploring an alternative take on the web called Gemini (not to be confused with any former bards). I think it's pretty neat, so I've deployed a Capsule (a site) which I'll use as a lightweight Gemlog (a blog) going forward:

gemini://capsule.jbowdre.lol/gemlog/2024-03-05-hello-gemini.gmi

I also fronted the capsule with an HTTP proxy so it can still be seen by normal people with normal old-school browsers:

I'd say `democracy++` but that feels too optimistic for this timeline.

After a tough week at work, I'm unwinding

by doing regex

for fun.

I'm so broken.

Heading to the theater to see that weird new Tremors remake.

I got a new device last night, so naturally the first thing I did was install Tailscale.

It's not just because stanning Tailscale is kind of my thing, but also because Taildrop (https://tailscale.com/kb/1106/taildrop) makes it super easy to share files directly to this e-ink writing tablet thing. Very slick.

Also, I'm really impressed with the tablet so far (BOOX Air3 C). More on that later.

Turns out it's *really* easy to connect a GitHub Actions runner to a #Tailscale tailnet:

That's handy.

In case you're wondering WTAF a Gemini is:

👨‍🚀 I set out last night to write a quick post about how I'd spent a few hours playing with Gemini over the weekend but decided it was more trouble than it was worth.

Then I spent ~2.5 hours revamping how I had generated the Gemini version of my site and decided that I kind of like it. So maybe I'll keep exploring Geminispace.

You can find my capsule at:
gemini://gmi.runtimeterror.dev

(or https://portal.mozz.us/gemini/gmi.runtimeterror.dev/ if you're a normal).

I'll share more details once I work out the CI/CD piece.

Attention all drivers in the North Alabama / Tennessee Valley area: it's time to learn to drive better.

Our local car club is hosting our annual Performance Driving School on March 8-10, and you really should come out! It's a fun and educational time for drivers of all experience levels.

I attended the school three years in a row and learned a ton, and I've now been instructing for several more years (and learning even more). Come hang out!

So #Broadcom is selling #VMware's End User Computing products (Horizon, Workspace ONE) to KKR, which owns Alludo, which owns #Parallels.

Anyone here familiar with https://www.flatcar.org/ ?

I dig the idea of an immutable container host.

I'm toying with a self-hosted metasearch engine called SearXNG:

Neat - I finally won't have to give out my personal phone number to use a "private" messaging app!
