Managed to get some #eclipse shots in-between the clouds.

Rewrote the code generating https://www.movielandmarks.com in #golang and switched to using #tmdb for the poster images since amazon links stopped working. My only complaint is that the JSON parser in Go doesn't give very useful error messages when I mess up the JSON, so I have to cat it through 'python3 -m json.tool' to check it.

I swear the Harmony remote is a proprietary pile of crap. I just want to add a device and I need: an app signed with an expired key. An old version of Java. A new password. And it *still* doesn’t work.

@tinker SparkFun has a variety of cellular things - https://www.sparkfun.com/search/results?term=cellular (I don't have any personal experience with them though).

Updated my simple schema migration scheme for use with #golang https://www.brianlane.com/post/simple-schema-migration-with-go/

@nbering If I'm reading https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules#releasing-modules-v2-or-higher correctly you can either make a /v2 subdirectory, or add /v2 to the go.mod path and your imports but it doesn't need to move under /v2/

@flex_lm I'd chose the flame thrower option myself :)

This Prusa MK3 is an amazing piece of engineering. Assembly went almost perfectly (one wrong nut, a couple of holes needed some extra cleanup) with the calibration coming back perfect. #prusa

@whonose123 Neat!

Here's my script for GPG signing the blog and updating the minimum set of files on S3 - https://www.brianlane.com/post/signing-and-updating-the-blog-on-s3/

Ends up using s3cmd --cf-invalidate can get expensive when you're repeatedly pushing out a static site. Adding one post touched about 200 files. And that's after I wrote a script to only re-sign changed pages.

Here's a bit of a longer post on moving from #pelican to #hugo for the blog - https://www.brianlane.com/post/moving-the-blog-to-hugo/

@R10T Mostly because I felt like the site was due for a change. The small issue that pushed me over was trying to figure out how to stuff a Mastodon social icon into the mg theme I was using. It uses font-awesome and a bunch of css magic I couldn't unravel or figure out how to update. The Hugo theme I'm using, mainboard, needs some tweaks but has been easy in comparison.

Pretty happy with how easy it is to hack #hugo, my website is now generated with it and a slightly modified mainroad theme. Only took me a day to moved the content over from #pelican.

@varx I’ve been using TOML a lot lately, converting to maps/dicts internally so all the keys are present and you pick out the ones you need.
