The MiniFlux Blogroll in Hugo on this site is dynamic, pulling in my RSS feeds from Miniflux. I use this partial below to render a list of public feeds by category. It’s important to change $allowed_categories here in the script, and to set miniflux.url and miniflux.apiKey in your site config. {{/* GetMinifluxFeeds Get a list of MiniFlux feeds by category @author @qcasey @context Page (.) @access public @example - Go Template {{ partialCached "func/GetMinifluxFeeds" . }} */}} {{ $mf_url := .Site.Params.miniflux.url }} {{ $mf_apiKey := .Site.Params.miniflux.apiKey }} {{ $allowed_categories := (slice "Digital Gardens and Blogs" "News" "Releases") }} {{ if (and $mf_url $mf_apiKey) }} {{ $categories := getJSON (printf "%s/v1/categories" $mf_url) (dict "X-Auth-Token" $mf_apiKey) }} {{ with $categories }} {{ $feeds := getJSON (printf "%s/v1/feeds" $mf_url) (dict "X-Auth-Token" $mf_apiKey) }} {{ if $feeds }} {{ range $categories }} {{ if in $allowed_categories .title }} {{ $c := . }} <h2 id="{{ $c.title | lower }}">{{ $c.title }}</h2> <ul class="blogroll"> {{ range $feeds }} {{ if eq .category.id $c.id }} <li> <a href="{{ .site_url }}"> {{ with .icon.feed_id }} {{ $icon := getJSON (printf "%s/v1/feeds/%.0f/icon" $mf_url .) (dict "X-Auth-Token" $mf_apiKey) }} {{ with $icon }} <img width="20" height="20" src="data:{{ .data }}" /> {{ end }} {{ end }} {{ .title }} </a> </li> {{ end }} {{ end }} </ul> {{ end }} {{ end }} {{ end }} {{ end }} {{ end }}

This is a work in progress Changelogs, as suggested by Brian Lovin, can be a good way to communicate progress or goals. changelogs aren’t as noisy as a commit stream or a Twitter feed, and they’re not as coarse as blog posts or a LinkedIn job change Brian Lovin

The static site generator Hugo doesn’t yet support Wikilinks. This is being considered on this github issue, but in the meantime we need to parse each page’s content to replace wikilinks with a relref internal page link. I use the following code snippet to support wikilinks in Hugo. It can be invoked when you’d normally use {{ .Content }} by calling this instead: {{- partial "content-with-wikilinks" . -}}. {{/* Prints page content with two types of wikilinks rendered (with and without text). Based loosely on https://github.com/milafrerichs/hugo-wikilinks with these improvements: - Renders shortcodes correctly - Handles Links with text - Uses safeHTML instead of markdownify (renders <code></code> blocks correctly) This is redundant once a solution is developed for https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/3606 @author @qcasey @context Type Page (.) @access public */}} {{ $wikiregexWithText := "\\[\\[([^\\]\\|\\r\\n]+?)\\|([^\\]\\|\\r\\n]+?)\\]\\]" }} {{ $wikiregex := "\\[\\[([^\\]\\|\\r\\n]+?)\\]\\]" }} {{ $page := .Page }} {{ $pageContent := .Content }} {{ range ($wikilinks := .Content | findRE $wikiregex) }} {{ $link := . | replaceRE $wikiregex "$1" }} {{ $wikilink := printf "\\[\\[%s\\]\\]" $link }} {{ with relref $page $link }} {{ $link := printf "%s%s%s%s%s" "<a href=\"" .

In order to create my Blogroll automatically, I needed to convert the OPML export from Miniflux to markdown. While RSS-OPML-to-Markdown was a good start, I didn’t like the table output and the fact I couldn’t access htmlUrl data attributes. This python script outputs a tag-separated list of feeds, linked with that htmlUrl rather than the rss feed itself. Passing tags to –ignore will omit them from the output. pip3 install opml argparse python ./opml_to_markdown.py --opmlFile ~/Downloads/feeds\(2\).opml --markdownFile blogroll.md --ignore All Private Newsletter # # opml_to_markdown.py # import opml import argparse def opml_to_markdown(opml_file, ignore_tags): outline = opml.parse(opml_file) markdown = "" for tag in outline: if tag.text in ignore_tags: continue markdown += "\n## {}\n\n".format(tag.text) for feed in tag: markdown += "* [{}]({})\n".format(feed.title, feed.htmlUrl) return markdown if __name__ == "__main__": parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() parser.add_argument('--opmlFile', required=True) parser.add_argument('--markdownFile', nargs='?') parser.add_argument('--ignore', nargs='+') args = parser.parse_args() markdown = opml_to_markdown(args.opmlFile, args.ignore) if args.markdownFile: with open(args.markdownFile, 'wt', encoding="utf-8") as f: f.write(markdown) f.write("\n") else: print(markdown)

I’ve already been plugging in data from my Emporia Vue, which reads the meter from Southern California Edison and allows me to query my usage in kW/h from Home Assistant. I now need to calculate cost, which is variable based on what SCE calls TOU (Time Of Use). This essentially means peak hours (typically 4PM - 9PM) have higher rates than off-peak. I broke this problem down into 3 entities to solve: TOU Season (Summer vs Winter) TOU Peak (Current hourly block) TOU Cost ($ per kW/h) I can use Cost as the dynamic entity in our Energy Usage dashboard. This, combined with the kW/h reading, can be used to calculate total energy costs per day. This defines the 3 entities in my sce.yaml. If you’re copying this, plug your peak costs into the last few lines of this snippet. You can find updated rates here: https://www.sce.com/residential/rates/Time-Of-Use-Residential-Rate-Plans template: - sensor: - name: "TOU Season" state: "{{ ['Winter', 'Summer'][now().month >= 6 and now().month < 10] }}" icon: mdi:weather-cloudy-clock - sensor: - name: "TOU Peak" icon: mdi:calendar-clock state: > {% set is_weekend = now().strftime("%w") == 0 or now().strftime("%w") == 6 %} {% if states('sensor.tou_season') == "Summer" %} {% if now().hour >= 16 and now().hour < 21 %} {% if is_weekend %} {{ "Mid-Peak" }} {% else %} {{ "On-Peak" }} {% endif %} {% else %} {{ "Off-Peak" }} {% endif %} {% else %} {% if now().hour >= 16 and now().hour < 21 %} {{ "Mid-Peak" }} {% elif now().hour >= 21 or now().hour < 8 %} {{ "Off-Peak" }} {% else %} {{ "Super Off-Peak" }} {% endif %} {% endif %} - sensor: - name: "TOU Cost" icon: mdi:currency-usd device_class: monetary state: > {% if states('sensor.tou_season') == "Summer" %} {{ {"Off-Peak": 0.15, "On-Peak": 0.41, "Mid-Peak": 0.30}[states('sensor.tou_peak')] }} {% else %} {{ {"Super Off-Peak": 0.15, "Off-Peak": 0.15, "Mid-Peak": 0.38}[states('sensor.tou_peak')] }} {% endif %} Updated values for Option 1 TOUD-5-8PM: template: - sensor: - name: "TOU Season" state: "{{ ['Winter', 'Summer'][now().month >= 6 and now().month < 10] }}" icon: mdi:weather-cloudy-clock - sensor: - name: "TOU Peak" icon: mdi:calendar-clock state: > {% set is_weekend = now().strftime("%w") == 0 or now().strftime("%w") == 6 %} {% if states('sensor.tou_season') == "Summer" %} {% if now().hour >= 17 and now().hour < 20 %} {% if is_weekend %} {{ "Mid-Peak" }} {% else %} {{ "On-Peak" }} {% endif %} {% else %} {{ "Off-Peak" }} {% endif %} {% else %} {% if now().hour >= 17 and now().hour < 20 %} {{ "Mid-Peak" }} {% elif now().hour >= 20 or now().hour < 8 %} {{ "Off-Peak" }} {% else %} {{ "Super Off-Peak" }} {% endif %} {% endif %} - sensor: - name: "TOU Cost" icon: mdi:currency-usd device_class: monetary state: > {% if states('sensor.tou_season') == "Summer" %} {{ {"Off-Peak": 0.33, "On-Peak": 0.67, "Mid-Peak": 0.50}[states('sensor.tou_peak')] }} {% else %} {{ {"Super Off-Peak": 0.32, "Off-Peak": 0.36, "Mid-Peak": 0.55}[states('sensor.tou_peak')] }} {% endif %}

My custom build of LineageOS for the OnePlus 7 Pro (Guacamole). These steps are completed in CI/CD once a month. Why? LineageOS is great, but its desire to not rock the corporate boat leaves out several ‘hacks’ that I find very valuable. The main Android repo is here on github, where you can see some of these changes being pulled in. Here are the customizations I make to my phone’s OS: Uses iOS emojis (from AppleColorEmoji). Adds custom apps to /system, such as Lawnchair, Google Photos, and the Play Store. Install the WireGuard kernel backend (This includes my OP7P kernel repo) Enable MicroG, a lightweight privacy focused replacement for Google Play Services. It also enables FDroid as a system app. Patches CTS key attestation. Enables signature spoofing for the Play Store. Enables call recording in the stock dialer. Much of this comes from lineageos4microg.

These are the pros I’ve found of each browser vs the other. Over time it’s become my list of grievances with Firefox (Fenix) on Android. Bromite Can print pages Can use JavaScript bookmarklets More accurate Address form fill Better credit card form fill (FF is on par now) Can directly load homepage on new tab Can save pages offline Better inline PDF viewer / printer (without dithering) doesn’t have stupid tab share bug (??) doesn’t have stupid tab replace bug (??) doesn’t have stupid tab reload bug doesn’t have stupid overstretched bug resolved in FF106 Better text selection (try selecting a full line of text without it wrapping to the top on FF) doesn’t have stupid device theme not switching bug | second instance works better on foldables Internal “apply dark theme to sites” is more performant than DarkReader addon (??) – I don’t know what I meant by these, I should have documented 😔 Firefox Isn’t as abandoned (Slightly) Better overridden share sheet trusted sync tools ^ this means shared history and bookmarks with other devices, which is big for me Can use FIDO/Webauthn keys (Also recently supported by MicroG (thanks, ale5000)) Has inline “Answers” in DDG search results, usually the first few lines of a Wikipedia entry. FedEx tracking website works, is broken in Bromite (although web compat is reportedly worse in FF, I haven’t experienced it much)

As of Dec 2021, this is now outdated. I am no longer using Dendron, nor nomad to deploy the site. I’ll have a follow up shortly. This expands on the DroneCI -> Nomad pipeline I examined earlier I explained why I use Dendron, today I will show how. The glue that binds Dendron, Quantified Self reports, and Hugo is DroneCI. The CI build runs every night and immediately when a commit is made to the Hugo site. I wrote a custom Pod for exporting notes. It’s similar to the built-in markdown pod, but includes frontmatter and renders a hierarchical structure which makes Hugo happy. The server completes these build steps: Clone the required build repos from Github / Gitea: Hugo site workspace Hugo site theme Dendron workspace and notes Dendron <-> Hugo export pod Nomad config files Once the files are in order, we install dendron-cli and link the hugo-pod in an node container Apply the included patch that skips validation of the pod Run the export pod, creating a well formed /garden/ subdirectory in Hugo’s content folder Build the Hugo site Build the final Docker image with the new public directory Publish the final Docker image Send a redeploy command to Nomad using the config cloned in step 1. Prune old Docker images from our registry Done! Simple, no? 😆 The complexity stems from the sources being so scattered (Dendron, Hugo, Nomad…). Obviously this isn’t practical for casual note writing. But in my head, if it’s worth doing it’s also worth overdoing. This is the full .drone.yml spec: kind: pipeline type: docker name: default clone: git: image: plugins/git recursive: true submodule_override: "themes/novela": https://git.quinncasey.com/qcasey/hugo-theme-novela steps: - name: "Clone hugo theme" image: alpine/git commands: - sed -ir 's$:$/$' .gitmodules - sed -ir 's$git@ssh.$https://$g' .gitmodules - git submodule update --recursive --init - name: "Clone Dendron notes and export pod" image: alpine/git commands: - git clone https://git.quinncasey.com/qcasey/hugo-pod.git - git clone https://git.quinncasey.com/qcasey/notes-framework.git notes - cd notes - git clone https://git.quinncasey.com/qcasey/notes.git garden - name: "Export Dendron notes" image: node:current-alpine3.11 commands: - npm install -g @dendronhq/dendron-cli - cd hugo-podand - npm install # Skip validation error "data must NOT have additional properties" - patch node_modules/@dendronhq/pods-core/lib/utils.js < utils.js.patch - npm link - cd ../notes/ - npm link hugo-pod - dendron-cli exportPod --wsRoot ./ --podId hugo --podPkg hugo-pod --podSource custom --config "fname=dendron,vaultName=vault,dest=../content,includeStubs=true" - name: "Build site with hugo" image: klakegg/hugo:ext-alpine commands: - hugo - name: publish image: plugins/docker settings: registry: registry.quinncasey.com repo: registry.quinncasey.com/garden-quinncasey tags: - latest - ${DRONE_BUILD_NUMBER} username: casey password: from_secret: registry_password - name: clone deployment dotfiles image: alpine/git commands: - git clone -b abathur https://git.quinncasey.com/qcasey/dotfiles - name: redeploy nomad image: multani/nomad commands: - nomad run -address=http://192.168.1.196:4646 -var=image_id=${DRONE_BUILD_NUMBER} dotfiles/nomad/webserver/quinncasey.com.nomad - name: prune images image: anoxis/registry-cli:latest commands: - /registry.py -l casey:$PASSWORD -r https://registry.quinncasey.com -i garden-quinncasey --delete --num 10 --keep-tags "stable" "latest" environment: PASSWORD: from_secret: registry_password

Public Notes Each note is private by default. I set the public: true flag in frontmatter to designate publishable content. This is different from the Dendron publish config because it can be placed anywhere in the hierarchy, and will still propagate to child notes. For example: Note Frontmatter Flag Is Published? garden true yes garden.quantified-self – yes garden.quantified-self.musicbrainz – yes garden.someprivatenote false no garden.someprivatenote.childnote – no I considered using cascading frontmatter, but Dendron exports any unknown frontmatter into a custom: heading.

Thanks to /u/orcusvoyager1hampig for spelling this out to me on reddit I go out to dinner with a friend and they offer to pay me back later for their meal. I write this in my ledger: 2021-07-19 * "Chipotle" "Dinner w/Dave" Liabilities:AmEx:Blue -30 USD Assets:Debts:Dave 15 USD Expenses:Dining 15 USD This makes sense to me. Today, I sold something for Dave on ebay. I’m going to reduce what he owes me using that part of the payment: 2021-07-30 * "ebay" "payment" Assets:Bank 25 USD Income:Ebay -20 USD ; my stuff Income:Ebay -5 USD ; Dave's $5 item Assets:Debts:Dave -5 USD ; ???? This does not balance. As a quick fix, I can remove the Income:Ebay -5 USD and take that from Dave’s debt account directly. However, at the end of the month beancount will report $20 of revenue while ebay’s statement will report the full $25. Matching these numbers is important to me. What I need to do is: Keep a record of Assets:Inventory as an intermediary between Dave’s debt and my other Assets. Keep a record of Expenses:COGS (Cost Of Goods Sold) to sink Dave’s transferred inventory into once sold. Note the additional transaction here: 2021-07-19 * "Chipotle" "Dinner w/Dave" Liabilities:AmEx:Blue -30 USD Assets:Debts:Dave 15 USD Expenses:Dining 15 USD ; ; Dave's debt is officially reduced here: ; 2021-07-30 * "Dave gives me his things to sell" Assets:Inventory 5 USD Assets:Debts:Dave 2021-07-30 * "ebay" "payment ; sold $20 of my things and $5 of dave's" Assets:Bank 25 USD Income:Ebay -25 USD ; my stuff + Dave's $5 item Assets:Inventory -5 USD Expenses:COGS 5 USD For future debts I will need to determine the price of our asset transaction ($5) after the item is sold. Quick dose of nostalgia, when googling beancount COGS, a wiki for Toontown is the first result. Fun times. Interesting plugin for deeper Fava integration: https://github.com/ROCHK/fava_inventory

Beets is an incredible tool for organizing a local music library. It’s a little geeky, but does such a stellar job integrating metadata from MusicBrainz with auto-matching, album art, lyrics, etc. It supports deduplication, transcoding, and much more with plugins. Anyone with an appreciation of local music and infra-as-code would be in paradise. I just hit over 10k songs, which is managed like a dream: ❯ beet stats Tracks: 10008 Total time: 3.9 weeks Approximate total size: 63.9 GiB Artists: 2754 Albums: 2016 Album artists: 1280 Beets imports music, adding embedded lyrics/artwork and correct tags all automatically. But it also has a few useful commands I use variations of all the time: List entire library sorted by ascending bitrate: beet ls -f '$bitrate $artist - $title' bitrate+ Scan the library filesystem for additions/removals, update tags from MB: beet update Using the plugin oldestdate, update the year field of Andrews Sisters tracks to the original recording year (~1940s rather than the remastered album date in the ~2000s): beet oldestdate Andrews Sisters Set the genre of any track with field containing “celtic” to “Celtic”: beet modify celtic genre="Celtic" Using the plugin smartplaylist, automatically update and export m3u playlists based on my config. beet splupdate Here is my entire beets config, including dynamic playlists: directory: ~/Music/songs library: ~/Music/beets.db import: move: yes detail: yes write: yes # quiet_fallback: asis # duplicate_action: skip # match: # strong_rec_thresh: 0 paths: singleton: $artist/$title plugins: -

This is outdated, I’m now using LineageOS proper HavocOS is what I’ve been running on my phone for about a year now. It got me to Android 11 before OnePlus did. After learning that it sets SELinux to permissive, I want to make a pros and cons list before I switch back to stock OxygenOS ✅ Pros “Smart Pixels” turns off every other pixel for a super dim experience. Nice at night. Disable app’s network permission Faster updates than OxygenOS ❌ Cons SELinux set to permissive Share sheet mistargets apps Untrusted developer

# Salient Startpage A startpage with light/dark mode, automatic favicons per site, and retained search bar focus. For the latter Chromium new tab focus / custom new tab page, you’ll want these chromium patches. A little advanced, but worth it! This is compatible with Homer, you can copy/paste your sites/urls/icons from there to config.yaml. The startpage itself can be rendered to an .html file with a directory of images. Run with Docker Clone, build, and run the container: git clone https://github.com/qcasey/SalientStartpage && cd SalientStartpage docker build -t salient-startpage . docker run -p 8080:80 --name salient-startpage salient-startpage Just want the HTML/CSS? Keep the container running like above, and copy the files out: docker cp $(docker ps -aqf "name=salient-startpage"):/usr/share/nginx/html ./public You should be able to point a browser to ./public Configuring Rebuild the container above after making changes to config.yml. The docker build step will fetch favicons to the bookmarks you define, and use Hugo to render the final version of your startpage.

Hugo 💓 Dendron I use Hugo to render a static site. This includes the theme, markdown parser, and structure. All of the content is separate from the site, and is built from Dendron notes. Quantified Self reports and assets are pushed to the notes from CI/CD. DroneCI pulls the Hugo structure and my content together and publishes a docker image. I explain these build steps more here. Why? I love Dendron. I love Hugo. I wish they were mildly more interoperable, but I’m rarely afraid of some DIY. Also, DroneCI happens to pair nicely with the gitea instance I already run in my Homelab. Some negatives to this complex approach include: At the moment, only my public notes have a frontend. Private notes don’t show up anywhere beyond VSCode. For now. I lose quick preview functions like Dendron: Preview or hugo serve -D. I rely entirely on VSCode to render my notes properly and have to do theme changes in a different workspace. I must follow Dendron’s updates and keep my export pod compliant. (Otherwise I run into unexpected errors) However, the pros heavily outweigh the cons. Keep stellar tools I get all the benefits of a static site generator, while continuing to use and incredible open source note taking app. Privacy These measures let me write all my learning, thoughts, and projects in a single place. I can then strike my own balance on privacy and keep from oversharing with public flags in the frontmatter. Quantified Self Part of the appeal of a dynamic build system is the mixing of data sources, journals, and reports in the quest for Quantified Self. This dynamic content is generated at build time or on a schedule. Ultimately the price I pay for complexity is just more complexity.

Redeploying container images built in CI/CD to a Nomad cluster.

Quantified Self (QS) is a method of collecting and interpreting your personal data, usually for self improvement. The inputs range from health datapoints like sleep hours or running miles, to media consumption like movies watched or books read. Luckily, I happen to hoard data and lots of it. I’ve done my darndest to Jaws-of-life this data away from corporate silos or simply start collecting it myself. For the most part this data is gathered automatically. There are others who opt for a richer, minute-to-minute, manual data point entry but I don’t think the tradeoff is worth it. Automation rules, manual life-logging drools. I have broken down my QS project into two corresponding phases: Step 1: Collect Step 2: Interpret Report improvement ideas Inspiring Links Inspiring quotes I take an overwhelming amount of inspiration from Julian’s media consumption reports. Step 1: Collect A niche part of the internet has already trailblazed the collection of numerous health, emotion, and habit data. This is a list of what I’m exporting and from where, along with what I’d like to add. ListenBrainz and SimpleScrobbler for music listen history GPSLogger location tracking HoTS game history AntennaPod syncs to GPodder.net for podcast history Habits for custom streak tracking (meditation, exercise, mood, etc) Beancount for personal finance records Miniflux reading time New RSS subscriptions Dead links, with substitute links to my archive Inventory Updates Step 2: Interpret There’s so much we can learn about ourselves, if we take the time to look. Sometimes, our money knows us better than we know ourselves. Tracking our finances can reveal what we are in denial of, […] and what might be holding us back. Robert A. Belle After beginning my data collection habits, I can focus on creating automatic reports of this data. These will aggregate statistics and hopefully help identify trends in my personal behavior. Parsing of this data is done using my QS parsers. Know your wolf. https://ncase.me/mental-health/ Report improvement ideas Music Breakdown by hour, genre?

April 2022 Update There is a weird suspend bug prolific with the latest BIOS, had to follow these instructions to fix. August 2021 Update the 16G of RAM really hold this thing back, a lot of workloads are stuck swapping and are held back from utilizing all available cores. This is a mostly-excellent machine, and as of 2021 is my daily driver. Some things I miss from my old Thinkpad X1 Carbon (6th Gen): Trackpad has a far louder click, almost sounds broken Keyboard is shallow No HDMI port, only one USB-A But the 5800H behind a 90hz display is so dang fast I easily forget those minor grievances.

Digital Garden I like the idea of writing with the garage door open. I write notes to help myself a year from now. But if I publish an obscure thing that helps someone do something cool, I wouldn’t complain. Our natural fear of being judged leads most people to build, learn, and think privately. But seeking validation should not be the goal of learning in public. ~ Anne-Laure Le Cunff My sites are hosted in my Homelab, these notes are written in Dendron. I publish the site using Hugo. Plain text is wonderful. It allows me to easily find ideas, references, links, personals notes, tasks, thoughts and everything else I want to keep handy. Even short jots and thoughts deserve their space. Being useful for me is the primary use case for this space on the internet. It’s not that I don’t care about you, but this is for me. It’s here so I can record what I think and know and preserve it in time and space. It’s my garden, but I’m happy for you to hang around and eat tomatos with me. https://joelhooks.com/on-writing-more In it’s current iteration, digital gardens take active effort on the part of the reader to wade through links to related pieces of content. This is very unlike a real garden: you don’t have to be an expert at horticulture or garden design to appreciate the overall landscape. You can easily engage with many different levels of a real garden at the same time, telescoping in and out at will to first examine the minutae of informational placards or specific plants and then returning to a broad perspective of the scenery as a whole. https://vivqu.com/blog/2020/10/18/digital-gardens/ Links to other gardens nikitavoloboev You and your mind garden Building a digital garden A Renaissance of Open Thinking and Curated Writing on the Web Digital gardens Work with the garage door up brendex beepb00p My blog is a digital garden, not a blog Julian’s lifelog and digital playground Alex’s Notes YouTube Creators Linux The Linux Experiment Linux For Everyone Techno Tim ExplainingComputers Makers Estefannie Explains It All JetsonHacks MickMake N-O-D-E Zack’s Lab Strange Parts Maker’s Muse Make Anything
