I needed some way to open a bunch of text links in browser tabs for a Sprint Refinement, so I generated a little python script for it. #projects

Taskfile EOL

Sander @ September 27 at 9:39 am

I've archived Taskfile and am now using Just. It's got more community support and works better in my experience.

Taskfile will keep working going forward but I have no plans for new features. If you are a used, I'd like to thank you.

Update: I'm not completely happy with how the just commands are executed, many shell commands I can't get to work, so I'm considering moving back to Taskfile. Will keep you posted

Taskfile 2.0.0

Sander @ August 6 at 8:23 am

I've released Taskfile 2.0.0, a task runner using taskfiles containing bash functions.

It's a nicer menu and shorthand for sourcing a bash file with functions.

The latest version contains a few small changes. As I renamed system tasks, semver dictates a new major version is called for:

Breaking change: inbuilt tasks (_edit, _edit-local, _help) are now prefixed with underscores so they're hidden from the Task list.
- New: hide your own helper tasks by prefixing their function name with underscore
- New: edit your local taskfile by running t _edit-local
- General tidying up
To update simply git pull if you git installed it, or replace the Taskfile.sh script some other way.

Sander @ January 3, 2024 at 2:07 pm

What would it take to make writing vanilla JavaScript more pleasant? After reviewing the code for my blogging engine Lamb I concluded:

Most of the code adding interactivity to personal websites comes down to running code after the page has loaded; niceties to query the DOM and hook into events. There's probably more but this is a start. The result is shorthand.js. Hint: it's not dissimilar to jQuery, but you can fully learn it in 5 minutes.

Which simplifies code to:
```
onLoaded(() =&gt; {
    const forms = $$(&#039;form.form-delete&#039;)
    forms?.forEach($form =&gt; $form.on(&#039;submit&#039;, ev =&gt; {
        cancel(ev)
        let confirmed = confirm(`Really delete status ${ev.target.dataset.id}?`)
        if (!confirmed) return
        ev.target.submit()
    }))
})
```
This is just a prototype and will evolve.

PHP-Activate 0.3.1

Sander @ January 2, 2024 at 9:59 am

I've released php-activate 0.3.1, a PHP project version manager for Linux systems using native PHP packages.

Made for those working with multiple projects using a variety of PHP versions, this script will switch to the correct PHP version for the local shell session. It does not require sudo, so even works in IDEs.

The latest version contains a few small changes:
1. Eliminate the activate_php:export:20: invalid option(s) output. Exporting the php function is not needed as we source the script into the current shell session.
2. Harden the script by implementing shellscript linting recommendations.
3. Readme update.

Lamb image test

Sander @ December 6, 2023 at 2:28 pm

Image upload support has landed in the Lamb repo:

Drag images into the composer textarea and they will be automatically uploaded behind the scenes and inserted into the post as markdown, similar to how GitHub works:

This has been the main missing piece for me, so I'm very pleased. #lamb #projects

Sander @ September 19, 2023 at 1:52 pm

Made a Linux shell script called BreakAware that calculates the time since your last break as I couldn't find an alternative to Pandan (macOs).

BreakAware is a lightweight and user-friendly Fish shell script designed to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance. It tracks the time since your last break, whether it's due to PC sleep, hibernation, logout, or session locking. BreakAware empowers you to be more aware of how you spend your time and encourages you to take regular breaks, enhancing your productivity and well-being.

Fafi 0.2.3

Sander @ June 17, 2023 at 7:33 pm

Fafi is a bookmark indexing and search tool.

Install the fafi command line app easily using pipx install fafi that's all that's needed, and then feed it a single URL, a text file with one URL per line, a bookmarks.html containing links (any browser's export) or --firefox and it will detect the Firefox profile and extract its bookmarks and index them.

Then search all your bookmark contents using full-text search and ranking!

New in 0.2.3

The release notes for version 0.2.3 of Fafi (Favorites Finder) include the following changes and updates:
- Fixes pipx installs: This release addresses issues related to installing Fafi using pipx, a tool that allows you to install Python applications in isolated environments. The fixes aim to improve the installation process and ensure smoother usage of Fafi.
- --url option: A new command-line option, "--url," has been added to Fafi. This option allows users to add single URLs directly for indexing and searching purposes. It provides a convenient way to include specific webpages in the Fafi search index.
- --list=textfile: Another addition to the command-line options is "--list=textfile." This option enables users to specify a text file containing a list of URLs or webpage locations that should be indexed by Fafi. It offers a means to index multiple URLs at once from a single file, streamlining the indexing process.
- Textual TUI: Fafi now includes a Textual Terminal User Interface (TUI). This feature enhances the user experience by providing a text-based interface within the command-line environment. The TUI improves interaction with Fafi, making it more intuitive and user-friendly.
- Dependency updates: The release incorporates updates to Fafi's dependencies. These updates ensure that Fafi remains compatible with the latest versions of the libraries and packages it relies on. By keeping the dependencies up to date, Fafi benefits from bug fixes, performance enhancements, and new features introduced in those libraries.

404 Fallback comes to Lamb

I've added a 404 fallback feature to Lamb. What this means is that if you request a URL that doesn't exist on your Lamb instance, it will redirect to the same relative path on the domain you have provided in the configuration, if you enabled this feature.

This means you can move your site from example.com to say 2023.example.com and then set that as the 404 fallback url and you will not lose any SEO traffic! Here's an example! #lamb #projects
Sander @ March 15, 2023 at 12:42 pm

Alright got the webserver configuration figured out and the full site is up. Didn't forget about Caddy. #lamb #projects
