This used to look pretty regular. Just two parallel lines with the devel branch connecting into the master branch here and there. But then I merged master into devel because I added issue templates on the github website directly into master. Things got….interesting….

Here’s the before (but a few weeks ago):

git before merging master to devel

Here’s what it looks like now:

The podman saga continues. The podman equivalent of a docker-compose.yml can be created from a pod with the following command:

podman generate kube (name of pod) > (filename).yaml

So I did that with the pod that I’d created with an SELinux context. Now it was time to try it on another Fedora 31 VM to see if it would work. To be on the safe side, I started off creating the phpIPAM folder, chowning it to nobody and chmoding it to 777.

Last time I messed around with Podman, I finally got things working and had what I think was a pretty good understanding of how to go forward. But in order to get things working, I’d had to turn off SELinux. Now it was time to see what I had to do to make Podman work with SELinux. I’ve got some ideas based on some Googling and might also need to try a program called udica to create the right contexts.

When I went to visit my grandfather in September, he brought out some Havana Club Rum that someone had brought from Cuba.

As best as I can understand things, after the communists took over and nationalized Havana Club, the original creator-owner sold the recipe to the Bacardi family, who’d fled to Puerto Rico.

I’m not a huge drinker, but I can appreciate a good spirit. I did not enjoy drinking this.

The fourth game we worked on was another game that I spent a lot of my childhood playing. We made a Galaxian/Galaga clone:

Laser Defender - a Galaga Galaxian clone

My mom’s youngest brother had a Nintendo and lots of arcade ports. When I was young he lived in the condo above my grandmother’s condo and whenever we’d go visit her, I’d ask if I could visit him so we could play games. The game I loved playing the most there was Galaga because of the frantic pace.

Almost exactly 9 years ago I got a Nook after rethinking my prejudices against ebooks. Four years ago, I started using Calibre to manage my ebooks. Back then I had 324 ebooks. Now I’ve got 1396.

A big difference from 9 years ago is that I don’t use the dedicated ereader as much as I used to. Mostly that comes down to the fact that I don’t read as much before bed and I have limited other places to use the ereader. Usually I’m either reading on my phone or on the computer. But there’s one time that I really love the ereader - when I’m traveling, particularly by plane. This way I can read during the entire trip without draining my cell phone battery. As Scarlett has gotten old enough to read, I figured she could have the Nook (to keep from straining her eyes constantly with the backlit tablet) and I’d still want an ereader for travel. Additionally, who knows - I might go back to more reading at home or before bed when a backlit phone just isn’t ideal. So I got the Kobo Clara HD.

When I switched to Twenty Nineteen almost a year ago, I wasn’t sure if I was going to stick with the theme so I never did my theme documentation blog post. So here’s what the previous theme, Twenty Sixteen, which I had for about 2.5 years, looked like:

And here are the previous theme changes:

Over the years I’ve taken many, many photos of my kids at Coney Island. Lots of them have come out great. But I think this batch of photos is among the best photos I’ve taken of the kids at Coney Island thus far.

In some cases, it’s the expressions on the twins’ faces.

• 
• I’m on a motorcycle!
• 
• I see you!
• 
• Yeah, I know how to use this

Other times, I succeeded in getting the perfect action shot.
