Just published my last #DecemberAdventure post of the year - a bit late, but the work was mostly done in December, and it took me a while to get this one put together: terracrypt.net/posts/gobs-of-m

It's a prototype of an infra provisioning system built with #spritely #goblins. I plan on continuing work on this myself, but if you're interested in building stuff with Goblins maybe this could give you some inspiration :)

I've not been great at documenting my #decemberadventure but finally finished my last post blog.solarcene.community/posts

I've spent the last few days in between family and work adding #Bluetooth (#ble) to my #Psion #Series5 by tapping into internal serial lines and then using a #hm-11 module. While it's not perfect it's really nice to be able to use the psion wirelessly. Next task is to increase the connection speed and fix the issue with a proxy server.

finished ‘This Is How You Lose the Time War’ (2019) by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone, which I picked up two copies to read with my wife

contrary to my expectation from the title, Time War is on softer/fairy tale side of scifi. it's a novella, written as a series of letters between two agents of warring empires. who both happen to be she/her, and very capable, which is cool. but not quite kicking ass, like murderbot diaries. more personal.

my #DecemberAdventure has been kinda wild even though I haven’t been posting about it here much (and the updates on my site are in bigger spread out batches). i learned a lot about golang, oauth, oidc, jwt, xss, and csrf… lotta nonsense out there! go is actually pretty cool though, and i have a working “log in with google” style auth server that (i think) implements just enough of a subset/dialect of oauth 2.0 and oidc to be pretty secure for only no-js web server applications.

still a lot of rough edges to sand off, but the very near dream is that i will have a single-binary, sqlite-backed, systemd-managed auth server that will let me be prolific in writing small, low-resource, no-js web apps with user accounts for community/neighborhood scale computing 😌

drove 5h to Massachusetts. two podcasts that I queued up to listen with my wife in the car:
1. Ologies (alieward.com/ologies?offset=15) by alie ward. the host interviews scientists to dig into different ologies, e.g. volcanology. fun listen.
2. Swindled (swindledpodcast.com/podcast/01) by 'a concerned citizen'. true-crime, but more white-collar and cons. less energetic, but still good
