About zlatko

Bio

According to some, I'm avant-garde ;)

I try to stick to software development and engineering topics, often related to application development, but I also shitpost random stuff, occassionally about photography, (usually not more then) react to politics or economics.

My website is https://zlatko.dev but I less completely-infrequently post a photo or two to my photo gallery https://photos.zlatko.dev.

I also used to post at https://pixelfed.social/zlatko, and https://programming.dev/u/zlatko, and I'll occassionally swipe here and there.

Of all the selfhosters in fediverse in my timeline, @brion has the most appropriate choice of a subdomain for his toots.

Relax, people, none of it matters a lot, here or at birdsite. If you want people to take you seriously, write blogs or books or something, then post a link here.

Oh, I killed my little #hetzner box, load-average at 40 :)

I have a #gitea, #drone CI and it's runner, #gotosocial, #keycloak and it's database docker containers (so six of them in total), alongside #nginx fronting it all.

Oh and a small node.js process or two running random temporary low-level crap.

I mean, it's only jumping during builds on that CI, but still, I'm tempted. Scaling to 2 vCPUs is less then 1 euro more, so I'm going in. It involves a brief shutdown though, and I'm doing most of these docker thingies manually, hopefully nothing gets broken afterwards.

Wish me luck :)

P.S. since my box was so overloaded, it didn't even manage to make this post, so when I reopened pinafore, it showed me the post right here :)

Anyway, zlatko.dev's now sporting 2 vCPUs and 4GB of RAM, and 40GB extra disk space (I splurged a bit more expensive version for the extra RAM.

thoughts on self-hosting and motivation to create Toggle visibility

Since mastodon.technology shut down, I am self-hosting my own fedi instance. I have been playing with some fedi software in the last few years, but this time I'm pretty into it, I wrote and published a tool for backing it up, I picked up on my long-forgotten attempt to make a worse fediverse frontend, but to my own liking, I even started making my own game which is totally unrelated to this. I guess fiddling with CLI and servers and stuff got me into liking these things more again.

Some random rolleplaying stuff Toggle visibility

I had a fun #gurps session on Saturday evening. I've joined this campaign that is now partially online, the first two sessions I was a bit... uncertain. It's a huge world created over 40ish years of that GM's experience, campaigns and writing. But this Saturday I finally felt like fully jumping in, even into things I don't understand, and I totally liked it :)

I have played _some_ gurps and #dnd ages ago, so I'm happy to jump back in!

This should be an interesting week over at 52frames.com: wabi Sabi. Wikipedia says it is:

"According to the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, wabi may be translated as "subdued, austere beauty," while sabi means "rustic patina."[5] Wabi-sabi is derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印, sanbōin), specifically impermanence (無常, mujō), suffering (苦, ku) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空, kū). "

Now off to photograph something impermanent and absent of self-nature that suffers.

birdsite meta that i don't get Toggle visibility

I know a lot of people have shitty experience on twitter. But I don't know how come _everyone_ has to have it badly. Personally I manage who I follow, and I try to disable all "don't show suggestions from x" and a few similar things, and it's mostly tech news, which is why I have an account there in the first place.

Granted, I don't have as much time any more so I'm mostly here, but once a week I log in to twitter and ...nothing serious, just people tweeting about tech.

I assume not being a target of abusers and idiots helps, but I keep thinking a lot of people are just yelling "twitter bad! mastodon good!" with no real reason or understanding.
