“With the welfare state, most of these commons were state-ified, i.e. managed by the state, and no longer by the commoners themselves. […] Today, with the crisis of the welfare state, we see the re-development of new grassroots solidarity systems, which we could call ‘commonfare’, and the neoliberalisation and bureaucratisation of the welfare systems may well call for a re-commonification of welfare systems, based on public-commons partnerships.” http://commonstransition.org/history-evolution-commons/

Is there something on Android that allows me to copy/insert macros? e.g. If I want to insert (or just copy to clipboard) the current date/time in a particular format.

So many ideas, things to do, things to learn. So little time. Can’t possibly get it all done. Solution: Co-operate with others 🙂

Anarchism and the welfare state: the Peckham Health Centre. http://www.historyandpolicy.org/policy-papers/papers/anarchism-and-the-welfare-state-the-peckham-health-centre

Don’t know much about it – given that the welfare state is probably kind of incongruous to anarchism, what alternatives for mutual aid does it provide?

SSH tunneling for web GUI access: https://docs.syncthing.net/users/firewall.html#tunneling-via-ssh

Possibly the better thing to do anyway is always tunnel through SSH. I should be able to do that from most machines I’ll be using. It’s unlikely I’ll want to connect to the syncthing GUI on the server from a device where I can’t do that.

Wondering what the difference is between reverse proxying through Nginx and setting GUI Listen Address to 0.0.0.0 as a way of opening up the syncthing web GUI.

All set up with cloudvault. Thanks @mayel! Looking forward to migrating my blog over, and setting up syncthing.

Steps taken on new server: disabled root access. For scp, added AUTHY_TOKEN as an AcceptEnv in ssh_config. Creating new sudo user.

Simply Static worked like a charm. Got the doubleloop.net site output version controlled now in gitlab. I guess it’s like a kind of personal Wayback Machine.

Deployed Metabase to Heroku, spun up a DB, copied some data over, asked some questions, got some lovely charts. Super easy. Really fast as well (on a small dataset admittedly.)

Holy crapola – just testing out Metabase for business intelligence. It’s absolutely brilliant. Open-source, slick interface, incredibly powerful, email/slack pulses. And. I repeat: open-source!

Really like syncthing but do seem to spend a lot of time debugging it at the moment, figuring out why devices aren’t connected. May just be the nature of the beast I guess. But doesn’t seem super super seamless. Not prime time. But no doubt – truly amazing piece of tech.

Yep. Need to use a PPA to get PHP 7.1 on Ubuntu…

carbon diffForHumans is a bit off for some reason – says 2 hours ago for a timestamp that just happened. Maybe a timezone thing?

Bit of nonsense getting the latest version of node in order to do some webmix stuff in laravel. Ubuntu always has really outdated versions of dev tools in their repos. Always need a PPA. e.g. https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager/#debian-and-ubuntu-based-linux-distributions
