So in a completely bizarre turn I've been asked if I want to take over leadership of the committee I resigned from. I'll be asking some people for advice and getting some more information to help me make that decision.

@agudbrandson Do you know how to use pg_dump? If so, and if you find that plan agreeable, you can upload the data at https://atelier.wilsonscoffee.com/s/e9fHwr99SDgcLrB

If not, let me know and I'll walk you through it.

@agudbrandson Not the database software, the data in the database. Something is going wrong there. I think what might be the fastest way to get this fixed would be if you could create a backup of your database with pg_dump and I'll be able to look at that and see if I can replicate the problem locally, figure out what's happening there, and see if it's repairable. If so, I'd fix the data, export it so you could reload that, and then delete my copy once you've succeeded.

The cat is bored, but it's 1:19AM.

PeerTube embeds no longer have rainbows

My sister is having dental work done tomorrow so I'll be taking over more of the tasks she normally takes care of for a few days while she recovers from that.

I'm not exactly sure where the typo was (once I knew which section it must have been in I just copy/pasted from the example instead of trying to hunt down the difference), but it resulted in 404s on webseeds (downloads still worked).

https://video.typica.us/ is back up and running with local videos working correctly. Bad nginx modification during the upgrade to PeerTube 1.2. I was stuck in a meeting for too long before I was able to fix that but everything should be good now.

local videos on video.typica.us temporarily down. will try to get that up soon.

Cat is wet. I think she decided to drag herself through her water dish.

Traffic design there is bad enough when everybody is following the rules.

Had to double back and reroute on the way to work today. There was a convoy of extremely slow moving public works trucks going the wrong way on 1 way streets blocking my route.

One of the great things about my eclectic professional experience is that lots of people talk to me. I can't share most of the stories I hear (I'll anonymize and/or wait until the company involved gets bought out/goes out of business or until the people involved are no longer in the business) but I do enjoy hearing them.

Sadly, nobody locally wants to talk shop. I might "steal their secrets." (I totally steal ideas from others but local competitors don't have secrets worth stealing)

The oldest video game in my collection is a 2 player Computer Space cabinet (glittery green color). One of the neat gameplay elements is that shots are implemented just as a distance in front of your ship that increases over time until it hits something or reaches a maximum distance. The play field also wraps at the screen edges so you can do things like fire off screen and then rotate your ship to curve your shot into the other player. It's unusual enough that most don't expect it.

@fribbledom The computer I'm using now, 0. The computer at the coffee roaster: 6

* touchscreen input
* USB serial adapter connected to a scale
* DATAQ DI-148 for logging data at the small roaster
* NI USB 9211 for logging data at the big roaster
* thermal receipt printer (prints batch tags that get clipped to the coffee buckets)
* barcode scanner

I make a better lemonade.

Take out again because I'm out of clean dishes. Got a free lemonade (this was my 4th drink choice because the first 3 choices were out, but hey, free).
