Re: Initializing an AkashaCMS project

David Herron — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 01:25:59 -0000

AkashaCMS tools are run at the command line of your laptop/desktop.

The system produces HTML+CSS+JS+etc files you can host anywhere you like using a simple webserver like Apache/NGINX.

It's designed to target cheap shared hosting accounts.

"Theming" is to create layout templates from any HTML+CSS+JS source you have, and add in some things so AkashaCMS tools can manipulate and inject.

Thank you for the suggestion, and that is a goal I had worked towards. But, for nearly a year I have been traveling and do not have a residence where I can set that up. The key things I'd had running on my NUC are now hosted on a VPS.

My article "Self-hosted Docker infrastructure in home or office using low-cost computers like Intel NUC" gives a high level overview of what I'd set up. When I return to living in a residence again, I'll be getting a few of these small machines, and using Docker Swarm to host Docker containers. It seems there are many options in addition to the Intel NUC series, which have similar capabilities. The other day I watched a video "No wonder Intel left the NUC game" comparing a modern NUC against a machine from another company that used a Ryzen processor, which looked interesting.

Re: Safely use Extension Cords when charging an electric car or electric motorcycle

David Herron — Fri, 24 Dec 2021 21:48:15 -0000

Somehow your EVSE needs to know to limit itself to 30 amps. Actually, you describe it as a 30 amp circuit, so do you mean the circuit breaker says "30 amp"? If so, the EVSE needs to be limited to 24 amps.

In some cases an EVSE has adapters provided with the EVSE and the adapter contains something to tell the EVSE which adapter is being used, so it can automatically limit the current to the adapter. But that's not always the case.

I make the case that the safest extension cord is a J1772 cord, because they're automatically going to handle the current. But it's possible to use a "regular" cord, but if so it's necessary to use one that handles the current. So... in this case a NEMA 14-50 extension cord has the capacity to handle the current. But because the circuit is 30 amps, you still need a method to limit to 24 amps. Or else, replace the circuit with a 50 amp circuit.

Looking over the Kentucky map now, there's a couple Walmarts - Paducah - Whitesburg, a couple Harley dealerships, the National Corvette Museum (Bowling Green), etc, with fast charging for CCS. It's over 3 years later, so things are improving.

Re: Troubleshooting Canonical's Multipass on Windows 10 Pro

David Herron — Sun, 21 Feb 2021 22:01:12 -0000

Thank you for your comment. No, I hadn't reported this to Microsoft. Instead I worked intensively with folks on the Multipass team, and reported an issue there. The last comment on the issue I filed is a Multipass team member saying they believe the problem is in the Microsoft DHCP service. https://github.com/canonica...

Re: How to set-up a multi-drive SSD/HDD Ubuntu desktop system

David Herron — Tue, 10 Nov 2020 23:28:48 -0000

Yes, that's what you'd do... on my system it looks like this:

~$ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
...
/dev/sdb2 117G 30G 81G 28% /
...
/dev/sda3 1.8T 355G 1.3T 22% /home

Re: How to set-up a multi-drive SSD/HDD Ubuntu desktop system

David Herron — Tue, 10 Nov 2020 17:29:51 -0000

I haven't updated my computer to the latest Ubuntu and do not know if there are differences.

I take it you want to use /dev/sda1 for /home. The instructions I wrote should work for that purpose.

Re: Bypassing the NY Times paywall, and read NY Times content for free

David Herron — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 19:42:16 -0000

Thank you, this is an interesting tactic. It only works for DuckDuckGo because on Google News, Google gives an encoded link because of course Google wants to track you. I tried with both WP and NYT, and the trick you mention doesn't work on NYT.

Re: Terraform deployment of a simple multi-tier Node.js and Nginx deployment to AWS ECS

David Herron — Sat, 11 Jul 2020 13:28:42 -0000

When deploying on ECS it's probably best to use the AWS Application Load Balancer rather than use NGINX as a load balancer.

The error message tells me you're using nvm, and currently have Node.js v8.17 installed. It's possible the version of fs-extra being used requires a later Node.js version.

Try running - nvm install 12 or nvm install 14 and then redo the steps.

That's stupid - she had hooked up with a company which did marketing material, so of course they could continue working on projects using Zoom and some kind of shared drive system.

Re: How to set up remote desktop on Ubuntu, access it from macOS

David Herron — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 14:45:22 -0000

But the tutorial on Digital Ocean gave me an idea and I'm going through that right now.

I found that the TightVNC Java client supports encryption, for example, but it's very slow. In the macOS App Store it appears there are several advanced (paid) clients that support encryption.

Re: How to set up remote desktop on Ubuntu, access it from macOS

David Herron — Fri, 17 Apr 2020 11:03:10 -0000

No, I hadn't thought about an SSH tunnel. In my case both the computers are sitting on my desk, so encryption doesn't seem all that important. In that case it's an EC2 instance on AWS and yeah that VNC connection should be encrypted.

All that build-up -- she went to ComicCon and found her people - she and her crazy sister got drunk at a snowed in cabin and talked about what kind of plans Sally wants to do with her life - and she just goes and gets a job. Probably another HR job.

I have reinstated the comment. I am reasonably sure I did not mark that as spam. Maybe Disqus has an automated system for that.

Yes the object, api, would have two states - either incompletely loaded or loaded, and the application would have to deal with that. Maybe I should rewrite that so the export is an async function?
