as much as i had wanted to nap today, i ended up sitting on my laptop all day … no naps for me … which is typical for me … i get on my laptop and start messing around with stuff and totally lose track of time and space …
anyway … after i got this blog uploaded and viewable online, i realised that my atuin installation is wonky for some reason. i have zero idea what happaned … other than maybe the domain change?
btw: that error is:
Error: error decoding response body: missing field 'count' at line 1 column 255 Caused by: missing field 'count' at line 1 column 255 Location: /Users/runner/work/atuin/atuin/crates/atuin-client/src/api_client.rs:223:22
so, to explain why that was even a thing, i need to go back in time a little … a few months ago, i got really pissed off with namecheap because they decided to renew my domains for like two years without giving me a heads-up. which … i mean … it’s sort of cool that they take care of the possibility of your domain expiring on you … and i get it … but … name.com sends me emails at like day 45 before renewal what is about to be renewed… it seems to me that that would be the bare fucking minimum …
so i went to the fedi to rant and someone, somewhere said “check out porkbun”. heh – the name alone made me want to move ASAP cos … weird like me, right? bonus points for their page linked as “Don’t like our name” … heh … but in the process of moving my domains, it came to my attention that the .li
tld … well … i can’t transfer it off namecheap and i really want off namecheap … and … this was happening right around the time that we learned that .io
was going away.
ironically, i had been trying to get a .jm
domain for years… jamaica holds onto those really tightly. (i should try again, actually) anyway .. country coded tld’s are … problematic in lots of ways not the least of which is that they can go away at any time. and by the way, i am fully in support of .io going away… but anyway, it made me think and … even thought fyrf.li
is a nice short domain, it’s … not much shorter than fyrfli.net
and so i started the process of moving all my domains in preparation for the expiration of that domain.
anyway .. so … my self-hosted atuin server was running on a fyrf.li subdomain and i switched it to the fyrfli.net subdomain and … but that can’t have been the reason, right?
in the midst of all this, i was trying to setup this site to do some automatic deployment no matter where i write my posts (i am not always on my laptop) … and also just futzing around with Dockerfiles and Gitea actions again … and … ffs … lighttpd of all things …
anywho … like i predicted … it was 17:00 and i had no idea where the day went …
oh well … i managed to wash a load of laundry and make a valiant effort at descaling the shower … so i guess … i wasn’t totally useless.
