Everyone uses fonts, not everyone chooses them.

I am currently still actively switching between Libron and Atkinson Hyperlegible. ↩︎ ↩︎

RHEL

Fri, 28 Aug 2026 00:27:29 +0000

I want to further my career, I need to get better at everything. This includes but is not limited to learning new courses, but also getting proper certificates. I have to be better.

I already professionally do this, however I want to be able to prove this easily to future employers if necessary, I feel that an RHCSA certification may be valuable in this. However I will need more experience in what I already do.

Homelab Upgrade

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 07:51:59 +0000

Thinking of upgrading my homelab, just detailing it here so I can get some reference numbers easily.

There are a couple reasons for this, mainly space efficiency and power efficiency.

This will cut down overall space and power usage, both the amount of plugs I am using in a power board but also the overall power requirements. In terms of space it is saving, I will be replacing 3 seperate “mini” pc’s to all be consolidated into this one.

NotifPWA

Fri, 24 Jul 2026 03:06:42 +0000

I ran into this issue that notifications could not easily be sent to my phone. I wanted something like ntfy, but self-hosted to keep my infrastructure mine. The issue with self-hosting ntfy is that push-notifications do not work (as of 24/07/2026) on iOS, because Apple™ loves doing things differently.

iOS 16.4+ supports Web Notifications as long as the site is a PWA. This is something I can use.

What is a “PWA”?

A “PWA” is similar to an App, it can be used like an app, added to the home screen, and offer other platform specific benefits, without getting into the nitty-gritty: You can use it as if it is an app, built for the platform you are on. What makes it different though is that traditionally websites are experienced more as a place you can visit, other than a place you have. A website doesn’t (typically) have a presence on the user’s device, instead it is requested / accessed by a browser.

chatto.ts: Strictly typed Chatto Framework

Thu, 16 Jul 2026 01:19:59 +0000

Last week, I was doing my usual browsing of ycombinator, when I came across a post that read Chatto is now open source, which caught my attention, especially because the post (at the time of writing) had over 1100 points, so I had to look at what all the fuss was about.

I checked out the post, and it was immediately filled with incredible- if true claims, such as “extremely easy to self-host”, “very light on resources”, “snappiest frontend that you’ve ever used in an app like this”, “fully encrypted at rest”, and “voice and video calls”. Now this wouldn’t be the first time something like this pops up and it ends up being a lot less than what you would’ve wanted, or a garbled mess of AI slop that does not work in the slightest.

Lattice

A little visual lambda calculus you can draw. A program is a wired-up diagram of just two operations — λ (make a function) and @ (apply one) — plus variables and wires. Point the ► output at the top of your program, hit Run, and watch it reduce: the active step tints as substitution flows through the diagram.

Inspired by Lingdong Huang’s λ-2D. Pick a preset to see a finished program, or draw your own.

Leaving Gitea

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:47:46 +0000

Intro

As the title states, I am leaving Gitea. I started looking for alternatives after CVE-2026-27771¹, something that allowed people to pull private container images from the built in container registry without any authentication. It existed for years, and did affect Gitea as-well as Forgejo.²

While that issue alone wasn’t enough to make me migrate, it did make me start looking at alternative options. Combined with the disclosure of CVE-2026-20896 and a number of governance concerns (specifically its less than open source company environment) that have accumulated over the past few years, I’ve decided it’s time to move elsewhere.³

Moving to Hugo

Tue, 23 Jun 2026 15:16:49 +0800

Why?

The beginning of trouble

On my previous site, I had written my own frontmatter interpreter to make blogging easy. I did not like the complexity or feel that existing options like wordpress provided, and I did not Google much longer than 30 seconds to see if the tool I was looking for already existed. So I had coded one, from scratch… That went predictably horribly and I had to continually make changes just to accomodate new features I didn’t think of initially.

Gargoyle — Ceraia

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Gargoyle, also called “Ceraia” on Discord is a Discord bot I specifically developed to meet my needs. A decent few of the features provided were features I wanted in other bots, but did not want to pay for, and thus decided to code myself and let other people use it for free.

If you want to invite Ceraia to your own Discord Guild, you can do so here!

Tailcat

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

With Tailcat being released, I set up a mirror and a script to auto build binaries from the edge, so that I can easily redistribute it if need be.

Here are some helper commands I use specifically for Tailcat.

# Installing tailcat to memory for temporary usage:
curl https://git.jas.pe/api/packages/mirrors/generic/tailcat/edge/tailcat-arm64 -o /dev/shm/tc && chmod +x /dev/shm/tc
curl https://git.jas.pe/api/packages/mirrors/generic/tailcat/edge/tailcat-amd64 -o /dev/shm/tc && chmod +x /dev/shm/tc

# Exposes 8080 for other locs
/dev/shm/tc --serve=8080
# Maps remote 8080 to local 18080
/dev/shm/tc forward --bind=127.0.0.1 ${TAILCAT_ADDR} 18080:8080

# Installing cattail to memory for temporary usage:
curl https://git.jas.pe/labs/cattail/releases/download/latest/cattail_linux_arm64 -o /dev/shm/ct && chmod +x /dev/shm/ct
curl https://git.jas.pe/labs/cattail/releases/download/latest/cattail_linux_amd64 -o /dev/shm/ct && chmod +x /dev/shm/ct

# Bring local to server:
/dev/shm/ct connect <address> --name=<name> <listen:[target_ip:]target>
