Why is my laptop using 25MB of swap when I still have 14GB of RAM free?

Taking an extra backup of the production database with the intent to restore locally to test out some changes before pushing those to production.

The cat is trying to pretend that she's not following me around the house, but she's bad at it.

Oh, are we tooting about tapirs now?

My main use case here is managing samples (another $1320 per year on top of the extra $1560 in the competing program mentioned earlier), keeping track of coffee contracts, and knowing what's on the way, but it can also be used for running multiple locations off the same database. The main things that I'm trying to address here, a lot of places are currently doing crazy horrific hacky workarounds and I want to provide a sane approach instead.

A competing program offers similar functionality if you're willing to pay an extra $1560 per year, but with Typica all the features are always free forever (though donations in support of ongoing development are always appreciated and can be made at https://typica.us/ )

Next release of Typica will have a big change related to how it handles inventory tracking. This was planned for v2.0 but I think I've figured out how to make it work sooner. It will now be possible to separate inventory out into multiple departments so you can split that inventory up into whatever divisions make sense for your business (or not), run reports on those separately, transfer among them.

New coffees (22 bags, 60-70Kg per depending on where it came from) in the building now.

The latest episode of Coffee and Code is now the most liked one for the series over on YouTube. No likes on PeerTube yet.

Made with free software. (Qt, Kazam, Audacity, Kdenlive)

@goat How long until you beat my Chest Bot score?

Too much sneezing. I blame the cat.

(might help at my own company if people who don't roast often or don't do certain tasks often know there's a nicely indexed set of tutorials where they can look up how to do a thing instead of them taking their best guess and my having to fix things when I get back from trips)

Considering making a whole bunch of Typica tutorials to go along with the next version release. It's complicated software, but I think if the concepts are broken down better and maybe made a little more accessible, that might help people use it better. Might also help with training if companies using the program can just point staff at a thing and say, "do it like this."

Doing web design stuff today. Last night I sketched out roughly what I want on paper so it's just sorting out the details and making sure things work, then I'll see what I hate and iterate on that for a while.

Paid a bunch of bills and now I'm back to not having money anymore.
