Cheers to the Unique brains dave. I can say I am 100% with Dave on all of these, except the clean environment thing, lucky Dave. If I have enough room to see what I am doing and walk around a mess, I probably wont even notice it. I’m so hyper focused on what is right in front of me that mess could be a huge pile of cash and i’d never see it.

How to make your RSS feed pretty
Life is too short for ugly XML.
cassidoo.co [1]
I love me some styled rss, it’s how the OG [2] internet was made to be. You choose what you want to read and when. There is no middleman aggregator inflating the reach of things they want you to see or suffocating things against them. It’s just you and your internet friends.

Dave Rupert’s Feed [7] # [8]
I first learned of styled rss feeds from shoptalkshow.com, specifically from Dave Rupert [9].

Dave uses a pretty bog standard styled rss feed with pretty-feed-v3 [11]. This repo is probably the best place to start if you are looking to style your rss feed.

Today i got hit by this accessibility issue on my site. Low contrast links are not distiniquishable. I had not seen this error title before it was new to me, maybe I have bad memory or maybe it’s new to me.
I ended up dropping the background color of the site down a notch as I didn’t
really care for the semi-dark brown anyways. I’m liking the near black
bg-zinc-950 much better now.
Now I got that 100 A11y score in lighthouse.

Hurl - Run and Test HTTP Requests
Hurl, run and test HTTP requests with plain text and curl. Hurl can run fast automated integration tests.
hurl.dev [1]
Hurl was mentioned by @gerhard [2] on the latest changelog and Friends [3]. Looks like a feature rich easy to use testing tool that is tested via what looks like a config file.
Hurl is a command line tool that runs HTTP requests defined in a simple plain text format.
It can chain requests, capture values and evaluate queries on headers and body response. Hurl is very versatile: it can be used for both fetching data and testing HTTP sessions.
Hurl makes it easy to work with HTML [4] content, REST / SOAP / GraphQL APIs, or any other XML / JSON based APIs.

On reboot of my opnsense router it did not tailscale up. I’m not sure if a key expired or what happened. The fix was to first enable ssh, then ssh in and run tailscale up.
enable ssh # [2]
In opnsense System > Settings > Administration > Secure Shell > Enable Secure Shell
tailscale up # [3]
ssh <opnsense ip>
8 # to select shell
tailscale up
Follow the link to log in.

now uncheck secure shell to lock down the opnsense machine.

I’ve been debugging a cloudflared tunnel issue in my homelab all day today, and getting really frustrated. My issue ended up being that it was running twice, once without the correct config file and another with it. I believe that cacheing may have compounded the issue.
In yesterday’s post I setup a cloudflared tunnel on my ubuntu server to expose applications running on the server to the internet. I’m setting up a new server and running cloudflared in its own vm.
setup cloudflared tunnel on ubuntu
Check that dns is pointing to the correct tunnel #
dig subdomain.example.com
traceroute subdomain.example.com
Check that the tunnel is running #
export CLOUDFLARED_TUNNEL_ID = "my-tunnel-id"
cloudflared tunnel list
cloudflared tunnel info $CLOUDFLARED_TUNNEL_ID
