First Post on SubStack - I finally got around to posting something here
I actually had some notes for this but never really thought they were good enough to post.
I wrote all the content in Notion, and guess what happens when I paste it in here… One paragraph. Great.
I probably should just add this as a post on my website, rather than on here. But anyway I will add it for now.
Some random things I have found this week to be somewhat interesting
Charm SSH
charm.sh is a collection of SSH tools, to make ssh nicer to look at. you can even ssh into the website and browse it that way just ssh to git.charm.sh with the password blank and it will show the site that way.
Mini PC
I’m not sure why but I am still a bit obsessed with mini PC's. I have enough that i already don’t use.
Seems you can get a NUC for really cheap these days with quite decent specs, good for a mini server or a desktop with no footprint. It does have a Pentium, but I guess its not built for power.
Google Search is Dying
This is the second post I have read on this lately and surprisingly appending the word reddit onto the end of something is a great way to get a real opinion or review of something, rather than googling something like "best video recording software" you just get the top 10 lists or some other spam type links.

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."
I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
