We've been together through a lot. We met first in Kyiv, Ukraine, where my spouse and I decided to build our first family nest, rather small, but decent. My then future wife took Muscat from a family where he was born to a British shorthair cat, and it certainly shows.

Later on, in 2017, we moved to Berlin, Germany. It was certainly a challenge to find a pet-friendly apartment, but in the end we found one, and there Muscat immediately charmed the landlords. Did I say we've been through a lot together? Muscat is very sensible and affectionate. We have developed our own rituals that we follow daily. He knows exactly when am I going to bed, he demands butt scratches on a carpet when I return home from work. He had spent every single home office shift by my side during the pandemic, serving his cat duties of stress relieving his humans. He's been purring me into deepest and sweetest sleep even during our hardest times.

I am blessed to have Muscat in my life. To many more years!

Did a live stream yesterday, where I tried to set up a serial tty connection between my Psion and an old RaspberryPi I had laying around. Got most of the way there in an hour, even though I had to spend some time troubleshooting what turned out to be me forgetting to plug the damn cable in. But then got stuck on it not accepting my login credentials, just reloading the login screen. I did some reading today, checking Man pages and documentation, and forum posts. turns out I was missing a "-h" flag/argument(not sure about the correct term) in my serial-getty@ttyUSB0.service configuration file. And that I could keep most of the settings there by default, but without "-h" rtc handshaking didn't work.

feeling pretty stoked!

Anyways I will try to do a complete write up once I'm done with my little project.

Hitting the shelves at the same time as the first iPhone, it offered much more flexibility and boasted many business oriented features carrying the legacy of the Communicator series.

MOTOMAGX used to be a quite restricted environment since no official native SDK has been released ever. Nevertheless, some enthusiasts found a way to port SDL apps like MPlayer, ScummVM, ZSNES, and such.

I personally think of a small DIY rack stuffed with commodity HDDs off Ebay with an LVM spanned across a bunch of RAID1s. I don't want any complex architectural solutions since my homelab's scale always equals 1. To my current understanding this has little to no obvious drawbacks. What do you think?

Recipe for my specific case: add fetch() on the page you want to track, supply window.location.pathname and document.referrer to track source, send it to some middleware appending data to SQLite (or any other) DB, add a data source in Grafana, filter out bots by their User-Agent headers, adjust as needed.

BTW, my phone & PDA museum page where the data on picture comes from: https://museum.tiredsysadmin.cc/

It is almost as big as a modern Google Pixel. Can't wait to put batteries into this thing and play around. This is Sony Clié PEG-NR70V/E, a Walkman in the world of PDAs.
