In my last post I mentioned the use of nvim as my editor. While I like nvim, there was a problem I couldn’t fix: copy/paste using SSH+tmux. And I don’t want to go back to vscode, so I’m trying zed now. They have a nice remote development module via SSH. So far so good! Working fine both on Windows and Linux. 👍
I’ve been a long time user of Visual Studio Code. While you can do everything you can think of with vs code, I was looking for something new. In the past I’ve used several tools like gitpod, GitHub codespaces, coder, … and while they all work great, I still have some kind of need to do some old linux terminal shit and host it myself. I’m looking into a setup using a remote container, hosted in my homelab, where I’m running tmux with multiple long-lived processes using devbox.
Okay, my last post was from the end of July. But I’ve been busy! In August I took my summer holidays. My goal was to work a bit on personal projects but in the end I didn’t do much. More offline time can’t hurt right? Starting September I did some upgrades to my homelab. I set up a Zero Trust network. Created a remote coding environment using tmux. For monitoring services I’m using Beszel now.
Some time ago my kids were talking about something that makes a “wappa wappa” sound. My wife and I didn’t know what they were talking about so they showed us. It was Pacman! 😄 So funny that things we know from the past they experience it in another way.
I still remember when I first got a CD with Ubuntu 4.10. It was the first time that I tried out Linux. First via the USB live mode but quickly decided I wanted to have this as a daily operating system. We’re talking about the year 2004. I was 16 years old and into PC hardware. Back then I could build my own computer and was able to add a second hard drive which started my continuous adventures into the Linux dungeons.
When I watch the clouds I always get the urge to take a picture. I don’t know why. But then again they are just clouds… what would I do with those pictures? I always wanted to make a sky cam that automatically captures pictures of the sky at different times in a day using a raspberry pi and a camera. And lucky me, I’m using micro.blog so I can script uploads!
