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.

install nginx, nodejs and family in the brand new droplet #feedback

Created a new digital ocean droplet for my new projects

Recreate digital ocean droplet because I cannot connect to it anymore after misconfiguring nginx :

Connect new domain to digital ocean droplet #vids

Got my frontend app deployed to Netlify, it was surprisingly easy. Changed my Cloudflare DNS settings for the domain to point to Netlify, and turned off the 'Proxy' setting in Cloudflare. Changed my frontend and backend code to use the new setup of having the api at a different domain instead of at `/api/` at the same domain. Tomorrow I'll need to test that local development is still working properly and then see if I can get it working on Netlify/DigitalOcean.

👨‍💻 cloudflare + droplet set up

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...

#contracting Setup domain and point it to my trusty droplet

Got "Hello World" working on Digital Ocean with Go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Holy shit that was easy, I don't even need to use Apache.

Got HTTPS working on my new DO droplet with nginx and cloudflare, it turned out I had to switch a Cloudflare SSL setting from "Flexible" to "Strict".
