Finally get around to setting up HTTPS for blechi.at

tech-admin stuff… i don’t like… but TODAY i got the server update on uberspace done (after months of procrastination) - FINALLY #naii

due to Meltdown/Spectre did back up a 10 GB big part of my web space incl. wordpress-based websites (coastery.com, naii.nu) and a piwik/matomo installation + migration to a new server - kept me busy for around 5 hours *puh* #naii

👨‍💻 certbot + nginx hacking

got my personal website (nathanwailes.com/, just an index.html) working on a new $4/mo DO droplet that I intend to move everything over to while switching backends from Python to Go, nginx is way easier than Apache so far. Switched my personal site to use GitHub version control.

spent time on getting https working on my ingress, still a wip ⚠️ #edu

solved browser cert issue for local domains with the help of tech.surveypoint.com/tips/bro… 🥳

🚜 I fixed/updated DNS on a few domains since GitHub has changed how they setup them up now. It's quite a bit better, IMO but took effort to fix and migrate a few websites. #mylife

made the https website redirect with certbot #klimy

config letsencrypt for #personalWebsite

setup Ghost and make it run via ssl and stuff. So far so good. Way easier than Wordpress but funner than Jekyll.

all 3 other domains now armed with https #naii

Able to ssh into my new Digital Ocean droplet with my new 'nathan' user; installed nginx; updated my Cloudflare DNS records for my domains to point to my new droplet; deleted unused subdomains and old MX/TXT/CNAME records; confirmed a 'Hello World' index.html site served by nginx is working.

verify redirects work pretty nice on zeit #blog

spend 10 hours redoing the database and everything related to images, going so far as to create a personal storage droplet and resizing for correct format. Learned that the ssl certificate was acting out because of click to tweet image not having httpS in the link 🙂 nice #klimy

get domain, create ssl, setup mockup on uipugs.com/ #uipugs 🐶

enable https on site

#dw setup cloudflare nameservers and ssl (this'll take some time to be active, time to build the code).

Got my personal website (nathanwailes.com) being served by Netlify after destroying the Digital Ocean droplet that was hosting it (just an index.html file)...got the welcome YouTube video working again, I guess YouTube requires some new iframe attrs now before it'll allow it to be played...bought a new domain (wailesgroup.com) for $10 and set it up on Netlify with a copy of my nw.com domain, I'm thinking of trying to start doing cold-emailing to get work as an agency / remote-worker management consultancy b/c I think the current agency I'm working for is billing my time at a way higher rate than I'm getting paid...spent a few minutes thinking about and adding Jira tickets for what I should work on next for that project (not today)...spent some time studying the [hnjobs GitHub repo][1] to see how it worked, to use it as a stepping stone towards automating applying to HN jobs...spent some more time thinking about trying to do interviews with YouTubers, I'm now thinking it may not be so useful, as I don't have a product I'm trying to sell right now, it's unlikely to have any lasting impact, and it would probably be a one-time thing...

🔨 hammered out an interesting project for building/hosting super quick and easy to update websites. felt cute. might keep it.
