Close second gem of the day is PythonAnywhere this might just make it so trivial to start this music related project I’ve been thinking of.

It turns out I was trying to reinvent Trello with my todo list + notes mashup. But self hosted online, so instead signed up to Trello gold.

Hacking a bit on Carbon again. I like tidying up a codebase with no responsibilities. Probably a good fit for portfolios once it’s more mature! Follow on <a href="https://github.com/svandragt/carbon">svandragt/carbon</a>

Interesting article about developing your passion and keeping and open mindset.

The belief that interests arrive fully formed and must simply be “found” can lead people to limit their pursuit of new fields and give up when they encounter challenges, according to a new Stanford study.

Fix slow DNS responses on Ubuntu

Sander June 22, 2018 at 11:52 am
I've been finding that browsing has been slow for me lately on my linux box, which has Ubuntu 16.04 installed. After some investigation it seemed worthwhile to try to install a DNS cache to speed up DNS queries. This has sped up successive DNS queries from 21ms to 0ms, removing sluggishness.
```
sudo apt install bind9
cd /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d
sudo echo "nameserver 127.0.0.1" >> head
```
Apply the configuration as follows:
```
sudo resolvconf -u
```
The improvement can be seen by using dig to query a domain and looking at the Query time output. After the first dig, subsequent digs return in 0 ms.

There is such depth to the Groove Rider GR-16 groove box, I’m reading the manual front to back. So much to master, a real professional music making tool for iOS <a href="https://www.jimaudio.pro/">jimaudio.pro</a>
