Picked up my new motorcycle today!
In true Mexico fashion they didn't prepare anything so while I drove to the license plate registration the thing overheated because it had no coolant.

When I got my license plate it wouldn't start because the sparkplug wire came loose. And that took me 3 hours to figure out and fix.

On the way to 'my' mechanic to get it all checked out I realized I have no brakes.

But the first 20km on it sure were an experience.

We live in sad times if an 11 year old computer with free software outperforms modern expensive and “professional” gateway devices. Both on speed and features…

But, here we are!

While doing some work on my new motorcycle i found this…
An active gps tracker with a sim card on a magnet under the cargo bed.

Smashed it to bits of-course, but what the fuck!?

Well, 6 hours of hair tearing later and i have 4 tagged vlans and a host network working. With network isolation and, well, a way too complex network for what I need! But oh so satisfying to finally have it working!!

And as usual, Nextcloud can't do something logically or normal, or at all really.

Nothing is compatible with the apps around it. Nothing integrates or works as expected.

Hey Gemini you big dummy!

Thanks for the initial code I guess, but I rewrote it and now my bash script is only 327 lines instead of 382, and it does more and more efficiently!

Enough AI for a few days. Time to sleep and play Minecraft for a bit! Maybe buy some groceries too, tomorrow.

Ported my website over to PureBlog today! I like the basic dashboard and simple design.

I still like my theme, so I re-created the colors and some of the layouts. And I managed to re-do the tagcloud, search form and download shortcodes too.

What's a good floorplan tool for macOS?
Not something dumb like Sweet Home 3d or Live Home.

Something that actually works and doesn't cost an arm and a leg...

EVerything I try either costs a fortune, has unintuitive shitty UI or doesn't work at all.

All I want is an easy way to make a floorplan with walls, windows and doors really. A good way to deal with the measurements of those. It shouldn't be an uphill battle to use, or even find, such software!

@kev@fosstodon.org I think, for convenience, Pureblog should detect if i entered a title and/or text (content) which triggers the autosave. Wordpress has something similar to generate the post slug when there is something entered in the title and the focus of the field changes.
