Servers Ahoy

So, I have obtained two raspberry pi’s. I am not experienced in servers, at all. I want an immich instance, and something to handle my media. I’ve really gotten into buying second hand physical media, ripping it and storing it and playing it digitally. Immich by the way is a really neat tool for managing images, and I have 30k+. Mostly pictures of dogs. Don’t judge me.

I use Fedora 44 as my desktop environment, and I love it. So why not use a Fedora server on one of the pi’s? I can make it headless, and because I’m used to fedora, that will remove any friction I have of swapping OS’s. Hey, be nice, I’m still a baby when it comes to Linux. I used it a lot in university but that was a long time ago.

Getting into Coding Again is Great!

I've been going mad for coding lately. I don't know what it is, maybe it's that I've had more energy. But I've been going nuts for Hugo. It's just wonderful for building fast, robust websites. I'm loving the automagical ways to organise content. Just, you make a folder and it just knows what layout to use? Lovely. Still haven't figured out favicons yet, but we'll get there.

I'm still limited on the amount of time I can spend on it due to illness but it's nice that I can work at my pace when working on projects. I'm hoping I can start studying in November, but alas, my health has to come first. I'm returning to my studies in web development and information design. We have a project in react and I'm hoping I can convince my teachers to allow me to develop in Vue instead as I had a lot of fun developing in that in the spring. React and Vue are fairly similar so I don't think it should be a problem. Vue just worked better with the way I think.

What to do 3D printers and Sewing have to do with eachother?!

I borrowed HacKRNspace's 3D printer for two weeks. What was a girl to do? I had just gotten back into sewing, especially upcycling and tailoring clothes. So of course, I had to print some gadgets and storage solutions, right? I found these on printables.com.

I started off small, I hadn't used a 3D printer in years, so I was rusty. I made this little gadget for measuring seams. Ended up not being very useful as I had no way to attach it to my machine (husqvarna viking emerald) but I'll figure out a use for it, maybe I'll print a longer version I can have magnets on either side that can attach to either side of the bobbin cover to make it more stable? Ideas are welcome.
