2025-09-11 Roll

I was so focused on the upcoming adventure that I just realized - summer is over. My last roll was in June, and since then, I have been very busy with:

#Bicycle trips.

To prepare for this year's adventure, I rode my bicycle as often and as far as possible. Those riding days produced most of today's roll.

#Mushroom hunting.

Typically, mushroom hunting is an autumn activity. But this summer was so wet that we managed to hunt enough mushrooms in the middle of it.

#Music.

Apart from finalising one more single, which will be released in October, I worked hard on my next LP. I would say it is 80% ready. I hope to finish it this year, but I make no promises.

#Pet projects.

#BAR.

Yeah, one of my friends decided to try BAR and found a few bugs and missing features. You can thank Stas for better error messages and the ability to control social links in the Hamon theme with a config file.

I always struggled with alt texts for pictures, especially in galleries. Now, if enabled, BAR will download a tiny image to the text MoonDream1 model and generate those alt texts. It will use Metal or CPU to run the model. Theoretically, it will also work on CUDA, but I do not have a device to test it.

#Serve

There are quite a few updates in Serve.

  • http->https redirect. Turned out you can't update certificates with certbot without it. Actually, you can, but it will require more work.
  • Log to a file with log rotation.
  • The number of arguments Serve received grew over time, and editing them became annoying. To combat that, it now supports a toml config file.

#Work.

Starting from September, I am leading a new project in Check24. This is quite a significant change from what I did before, and I am pretty excited about that since I haven’t started a new project in a while. As with all new projects, this one is full of challenges, which I hope to overcome without burning myself or anybody else out.
