Most anything, using the handyman’s secret weapon…

If he can manage all them buckles on his outfit I’m sure he could manage most anything.

Tile, one on my keys and wallet. They’ve been useful a couple times but the one big problem is that I only look at the app when I need to find them and they don’t send any kind of popup when the battery is dying.

So I recently found that my wallet hadn’t checked in for months and the keys one was due for a change very soon when I happened to need it.

I think I can see where they’re going with it, but it is a bit hard to write out

Say I set up my favorite service in house, and said service has a client app. If I create my own DNS at home and point the client to the entry, and the service is running an encrypted connection with a self signed cert it can give the client app fits for being untrusted.

Compare that to putting NPM in front of the app, using it to get a LetsEncrypt cert using the DNS record option (no need to have LE reach the service publicly) and now you have a trusted cert signed by a public CA for the client app to connect to.

I actually do the same for a couple internal things that I want the local traffic secured because I don’t want creds to be sniffable on the wire, but they’re not public facing. I already have a domain for other public things so it doesn’t cost anything extra to do it this way.

Is there a handy list somewhere to defed from? I don’t expect them to gain any traction unless they had an existing user base before, but would be nice to keep communal running tab.

Similar to heavy weights in the gym, having a few hundred on your shoulders tends to keep other things out of mind.

One for me is the forms taught in martial arts. Think on the lines of a minute or so long sequence of moves that would never be used in a match/combat but they tend to flow together. A nice way to exclude the world for a minute of predictable peace.
