Fresh dump of interesting and/or useful web links I've found recently. Full link stash here.



238. stew
Search, install and manage binaries. A lot of my binaries are out of date at the moment so guessing this would make those updates easier. Will muck around with this before my next distro re-install as I want to see what happens to config files stored outside the binaries.
TAGS: cli, package-manager, tool

237. aligning Markdown tables in Helix
I followed along with the example and it was highly satisfying. Haven't had a use for this, but bookmarked for future use. Good reminder of some of the select and replace tools in helix.
TAGS: blog-post, helix, how-to

236. gemcert
Easily create TLS/SSL certificates adhering to gemini-protocol best practices. Alternative to doing it via openssl which requires some long command lines.
TAGS: cli, gemini, tool

235. Pixabay Music
Royalty free music. Can download or stream individually, or play a radio - essentially just a bunch of playlists to select from.
TAGS: music, radio

234. Blanket
Play ambient sounds of rain, thunder, streams and the like. Good for noise cancelling. I like the rain one by itself.
TAGS: ambient, radio

233. How to Use the Linux top Command (and Understand Its Output)
I mainly use top to find and kill a running process. This is a handy guide for a few more things it can do.
TAGS: how-to, resource-management, top

232. ddclient
Update dynamic DNS entries on DNS services like namecheap. Useful for running a server where the public IP changes. Found it very quick to set up, just following the prompts on first run.
TAGS: hosting, tool

231. Shelly Plus 1 Documentation
Documentation about the Shelly Plus 1 Wi-Fi smart switch. Includes links to installation guides and API documentation at bottom of page.
TAGS: docs, hardware, home-automation, relay, shelly

230. The ultimate twilight of creativity | zeerooth
In a world of information overload, I like zeerooth's message here: "...make shit for the fun of it."
TAGS: creativity, gemlog

229. New Leaves and Fresh Starts | plugd
An honest thought piece to self, on not finishing, acknowledging when it's time to move on, self inflicted anxiety, achivement thought-patterns. A lot resinated here.
TAGS: phlog, self-reflection
