  • I’ve got it setup automated on all my external domains, but trying to automate it on my internal-only domain is rather tedious since not only do I NOT want to open a port for it to confirm, but I have 2 other devices/services on the network not behind my primary reverse proxy that share the same cert.

    What In need to do is setup my own custom cron that hits the hosting provider to update the DNS txt entries. Then I need to have it write and restart the services that use the cert. I’ve tried to automate this once before and it did not go so smoothly so I’ve been hesitant on wasting time to try it again… But maybe it’s time to.

    What would be ideal is if I could allow it to be automated just by getting a one time dns approval and storing a local private/public key to prove to them that I’m the owner of the domain or something. Not aware of this being possible though.






  • As a professional, my reasoning for NOT using AI is as follows:

    1. I don’t want to lose the muscle memory of what I do. Sure AI might be able to do annoying things like test templates… But that’s not a skill I want to forget or lose, as self written unit tests have actually helped me catch mistakes that “would have worked” in prod (i.e. Code functions, but has undesired outcomes). AI can’t usually spot that.
    2. As a person who digs deep in cyber security and monitors heavily the malicious realm, I’m paranoid of malicious or weak code being spit into my repos.
    3. I’m a privacy nut, too. Most “good” AI solutions are anti privacy.
    4. If anyone here has done a proper code review of AI generated code from coworkers, they should know it adds a ton of extra time because of errors, inconsistencies with repo practices, etc and actually wastes the time of the developer and reviewers.

    Am I saying “NEVER AI?”? nah. But it’s far from ready for me personally to even consider for programming purposes. I’m also well aware this isn’t what many others think or feel; I don’t scream at people for using it if it’s what they feel helps them.


  • I use to have the same thing but moved away from the tablet solution and I got myself a pi, and then setup a script to auto start (after boot and auto login) the browser in full screen “kiosk” mode on my home assistant site. I then bought this to attach to it:

    I also bought a case for the screen and pi to fit in for a nice visual display (although these days the thing is embedded in my wall), but it looks like the case is now unavailable so might require looking around for one.


  • I’m not familiar with those two… But I’ve always been hunting for the perfect replacement.

    I started with Nextcloud Deck and used it extensively until they got rid of my markdown support.

    So then I tried taiga and a few others before landing on Wekan. Really great software, but the terrible API, horrible mobile support, and slow outdated UI drove me away…

    Now I’m on Vikunja, which ironically doesn’t support markdown text. So I basically returned to square 1 with a better UI lol. I almost stayed on Wekan because of the checklist support, but the faster speeds, nice API, and slick UI in vikunja landed me here… for now.
