Old Blog Entries, unsorted

>blogpost 4, Nextcloud edition

I took advantage of Black Friday deals to grab me a server and a domain name for cheap. I was originally going to try out Nextcloud on a Raspberry Pi, but I had no permanent place to put it, and so here we are. But damn, was installing Nextcloud an exercise in frustration mainly because I was following a tutorial to install it in a subdirectory when what I really wanted was in the subdomain. 502 and 404 errors up the ass, but at least now I know a little more.

It was worth it in the end and I felt really proud of myself, considering I only originally followed the guides at LandChad and my only "server experience" prior to that (if it can even be called that) was running the RPi headless and installing Samba to try the NAS experience.

Enough of the rambling. Here's my Nextcloud fixes for the warnings in my admin page, by the way.

I just realized I haven't posted a story even though I said in the blogpost below that I would. I don't have the motivation for it right now. I mean I failed NaNoWriMo with only 513 words written; what an abysmal output.

I was trying out the Fediverse because someone shilled it to me and I only picked Diaspora because the type said "macroblogging" and went down the list of servers until I found a cool-sounding name. I hope I continue using it and I don't get sidetracked by another project. I have no Twitter account and have no intention of signing up for one; I only look at tweets if I am rubbernecking at arguments.

Now if only my company stops using Facebook as our non-email communication platform...

In other words, I've finally found a story of mine that seems good to share! Page is still under construction because I need to fix the formatting. I hope I can upload it soon.

Well the site does look better now but... what mistake did I do that the .active css thingy doesn't even appear on my navbar...

ETA: I fixed it. a.active was the key, not a .active. So spacing in css is important.

I'll fix the HTML/CSS later, but for now I'd like to say that it's rather difficult to get back into a hobby if the job you're doing involves the hobby. For me, it's reading and writing. Getting a job that not only makes me read (textbooks) and write (lab manuals, presentations, papers, etc.) has put my love of reading and writing for leisure in comatose. I know for sure sooner or later I need to resign from the job.

It's not a bad job, I guess. I learned things along the way, and as I stayed longer I realized the pace was far too fast for me, that everyone is so gung-ho, while I stopped caring about advancement.
