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.
