So I think I have integrated aurora's delayed power usage data into home assistant, though it's a little convoluted and dodgy. Aurora is pretty much the only power provider in Tasmania.
The issue is that they post your power consumption to their non-official API the day after. This is incompatible …

I also managed to swap the side my daughter's bedroom door swung from. Swing away from the space, as they say (I think).
This is for me so i am not going to dance about the instructions here.

volumes:
- ./data/certbot/conf:/etc/letsencrypt
- ./data/certbot/www:/var/www/certbot
- /etc/ssl/certs/:/etc/ssl/certs …I'm not going to mess you around here, this was oddly painful with conflicting information and given I know nothing about the implementation details of SSH, quite irritating:
Follow these steps to enable two-factor authentication (2FA) over SSH using a public key and Google Authenticator on Ubuntu 22.04.4 …

While Doom itself did not utilize GPUs — since the technology was still in its infancy — it set a precedent that better graphics could …

So I am documenting here how to do this using docker compose, nginx and certbot. One resource that helped me greatly was …

The finished product
So I'm not going to go over the exact setup here, it is pretty easy to do with …

Another way to concatenate strings.
Hi guys, sorry it's been a fortnight! I've been hella busy and still am so this is going to be short.
So I recently discovered the f-string in python.
a_string = " are pretty damned cool!"
print("f-strings" + a_string)
So I'm sure most of us …

Hello again! Welcome to another Monday and another short one for you here.
So, have you ever needed to make a PDF file programmatically? I know I have. One of the main advantages of having a pdf as opposed to some other graphical format is being able to …

Hi there!
Thought I'd give a big hi today in apologies for the lack of length that this blog post has in comparison with my somewhat hectic previous one. I can't consistently keep banging out blog posts that long though, I'm pretty busy.
So, List Comprehensions
Moving right …

Why A Star?
So for game development, we were in a situation where we had a player that you could swap for any one of three characters. These characters needed to follow along behind the main character.
At first, I thought I could do something simple like:

Some of you out there probably know a little bit about web development and the various frameworks that are available out there. Some of you may be clever enough to realise that this very site is designed with a static site generator developed with Ruby called 'Jekyll'. I just thought …
I know what you're thinking... Clearly, I should also be learning how to use software like Adobe Illustrator and not rely so heavily on MS Paint. But hey, I know it and have been using it for years, seems to do most things I need it to!
So this week …
So since my last post, I have begun working as a volunteer. The Arduino project is on hiatus.
As it happens, it is considerably difficult to acquire paid work when you are but a meagre, inexperienced web developer. And by inexperienced, I mean I don't have any idea how to …
So today I blew up my arduino. I have been working on a project that involves regulating the temperature inside
a refridgerater using the built in compressor and a small heater. You guys will hear all about it in the portfolio section
when it is finished. Seriously, I've been recording …
G'day! So, this is my first blog post. My name is Justin, as I am sure you have deduced from the domain name, and I am a web developer/guitarist/butcher. Actually, I dare say I am perhaps the only one you know.
