If you want to learn about vehicle mechanics drive an old pickup truck and fix everything yourself.

multiple ssh keys on machine

Multiple SSH keys with multiple Git accounts and Repos on the same machine

I have run into this problem before while using a work-owned computer. There was some (educational/exploratory) work we were handling and I used my personal computer and github profile to save documents. It was challenging to pull and push these changes from my work machine, due to having multiple github accounts active on the same machine.

  • I don't think there was really a sustainable solution reached. It was a problematic thing and I was just able to conveniently ignore issue but forgetting about them.

Fast forward to now

11 months..

11 months

It's been a while since the last write up. I have not written a single gist or made many changes to any web content in that time either.

Technical

The website has been displaying default content for a long time. I first noticed this after working on some cache control items and it was unclear what had happened. Long story short it was just the github access token being expired. Although it's unclear if there were other issues - do not believe so.

New computer

I have also been slowly migrating/breaking in a new machine. My long term macbook pro finally but the dust and decided to replace it with an m4 mac mini. It's been fine and does everything I've asked of it. Configuring a new development environment is difficult enough but, for me at least, one of the easy things to forget about is bash_profile keys and things.

Keys and things

Yay changes

New ditty collection "goingUp"

  • Third installment to the guitar ditties is now listenable
  • "area51" is a repeat from the previous collection but has been edited for brevity. I just like it that much
  • Learning to rock out on the bass so that's something to watch out(!) for

Creative burnout

  • the new collection is from roughly the summer of 2023. "six" the previous collection is from roughly before the summer of 2023.
  • the ditties are not in "chronological order" for the most part but that may be inferred

February updates

Notes and changes

  • middle/end of Feb. 2024

Website

  • Gists will still be used as a hosting source for writing content
  • Rather than manually curate and use the "embed gist" functionality, added an API to requests and handle Gists
  • This API can request Gists, for user regbake, whenever necessary - or when lifeonthereg is loaded
  • Added a caching layer on the API to not overload the Gists API directly

Sinatra as API

noindex tag for bots

Preventing bots from visiting a page

What is a bot?

  • web crawler or non-human web visitor
  • visits web pages and analyzes content for use in search-engine results

Why might we want to prevent bots from viewing a page?

Maybe:

  • there is no value with indexing the page
  • too many bots are viewing a page
