@amolith I don't see the vertical pipe (|) character anywhere. On my QWERTY keyboard, that's the shift key for the right-most character (the \ key that you mapped elsewhere).

Is that a character that you would need enough to make easily accessible on that layer?

@mdewald I only *use* Mastodon, but I still maintain a Twitter account (to easily follow school related accoutns) and a Facebook one (so I can in theory know if people tag me in a photo).

vagrant-libvirt and Bridged Networking

Once I had a way to install virtual machines on my Ubuntu home lab server, my next goal was to be able to directly SSH into them from my laptop. By default, the Vagrant-installed libvirt virtual machines all connect to a virtual subnet. In order to be able to connect from other computers in my home, I needed to set up Bridged Networking. . . .

Trying out ArchLinux using libvirt and Vagrant

I have been curious about the ArchLinux distribution for some time. I have a Ubuntu 20.04 server running in headless mode in my home lab, with KVM + libvirt already set up, so I decided to set up a virtual machine to give Arch a try. . . .

Blog Post: Nest Micropub - First Steps

Now and then I feel like it would be convenient to be able to post quick notes, or to quickly save bookmarks, here on my blog. The obvious IndieWeb solution would be to add Micropub support. Since I have a desire to learn more about the NestJS framework for creating NodeJS servers, it seems like creating a Micropub server using NestJS will be a nice personal project. . . .

@aral @laura Wow, you didn't pull any punches in that talk. Great stuff!

Addendum added : With the default example Gitea configuration, I found that I was still getting Unauthorized errors. I had to watch the network calls to get access to the full error message. The problem was that even though I was authenticated, I was not actually authorized. I had to chose to either enable the allowAllUsers setting, or I needed to add specific users to the whitelist.

@amolith Honestly, unless someone has been working for like 20+ years, the resume should still only be one page. Potential interviewers don't have the kind of time needed to wade through pages and pages.

A nice one-page "resume" summary with an optional more-complete CV attachment could also be acceptable.

Brought to you by someone whose been having to interview programmers for years . . . .

@InvaderXan You forgot Archie :D

@yarmo @screenbeard@aus.social I'm glad the post came across my feed, and doubly glad for the mention of #Keyoxide. I've been looking for a replacement for Keybase for the purposes of publishing proofs that I control the identities I have on various services. I will have to look deeper into Keyoxide -- I think it might be exactly what I've been looking for!
