Gab’s Notes

For a few weeks now I've been hosting my new projects at sourcehut instead of my usual GitHub account. So far, the experience has been very pleasant but it also has some drawbacks. Let's talk about it!

In a recent post, I talked about how I tracked my posts views over time using Grafana and InfluxDB.

In January 2020, I discovered a budget app called You Need A Budget (YNAB). I've been using it since then and I'm very happy with it, here's why.

Recently I added some statistics to my blog. I wanted to do that with minimum effort and without serving any crappy proprietary JavaScript to my users.

As they advertise it, Pi Hole is “a black hole for internet advertisement”. It's basically an ad blocker for your whole network.

Since I consider my messages on social media to be valid at the moment they're posted, I like to have them deleted after some time. When I still used Twitter, I also used a CLI tool called cleantweets that helped with this.

A few months ago, after having created an account on Fosstodon, I wrote a simple command line utility to help you achieve the same thing but with toots: cleantoots (notice how much effort I put into naming it).

I participated in the latest CodinGame challenge and quickly got out of the beginner's league. In this article, I'll explain my approach.
