  • It was mostly uneventful, to be honest. I downloaded the two apps (static admin and the php app), tossed them into /opt/www, and set up nginx to serve PHP. The config in the main app had a section for my Postgres settings and the docs gave the instructions on putting the default server configuration into the static site.

    The only challenge was actually rather silly: I don’t use PHP so it took me a bit to understand why apt install php installed Apache when I had already installed nginx. Once I found php-fpm it was smooth sailing from there.









  • After a long career in tech, one of the things I start to push for when I inevitably take over ops at my new job is to eliminate the silly names.

    I don’t do it because I hate fun, I do it because when someone yells, “Squirtle has dropped off the network!” I don’t want to have to go consult a lookup table to learn that Squirtle is a staging environment postgres replica and not the primary billing database.

    As a result, I apply the same standards to my home network without shame.










  • I agree with that… sort of. They also need to do loud centrist events. Because rags like Politico will 100% run articles saying, “Democrats double down on leftist policies that cost them the 2024 election” without a moment of hesitation.

    We know that the far right media gets its talking points from Russia. After watching their disingenuous takes and “anonymous insider” bullshit (e.g., Biden only running for one term was a Politico rumor) I’m convinced Politico is also intentionally sending misleading information into the public conversation.
