Cents & Sensibility: The Ledger Luminaries' Revolution

I'm scared to account; scared of statements of business dealings, credits and debits, and tracking of all this money-related stuff. Scared of reciting these transaction histories, and yet reckoning with these computations and enumerations is as deathly certain as taxes.

It is silly that this problem has not been solved given fancy new technology like AI and large language models. It's also silly how much big institutions skim off the top, like 1.5–3.5% per credit card transaction, and our expanding web of subscriptions to Substacks, Youtubes and the like that become more numerous and Medusa-like the harder they are to track, aggregate, categorize, and analyze across instutitions. I'm also scared of Mint.com (I used it for many years) as they broker our data, but still need the help of software and technology to manage money. This feels like a data problem that should have been solved long ago 🤯

So the goal here was to spend a few hours on a weekend t

Just thought I'd put together some detail on deploying Tailscale using Docker and Portainer. These bits-and-pieces are available elsewhere, but not together, so hopefully this will save someone a bit of time if you'd like to add Tailscale to an existing Docker install:

Here's my annotated recommended docker-compose, to use with Portainer-Stacks. Note that I'm not using a pre-made Auth Key. I started that way, but realized it was very easy to simply check the Portainer log for the tailscaled container once the stack is running. In that log you'll see the standard Auth link that you can use to authorize the container. This way you don't need to create a key in advance, or create a reusable key that introduces a security risk:

version: '3.9'
services:
  tailscale:
    image: tailscale/tailscale
    container_name: tailscaled

Minecraft on Apple Silicon (v2 - 1.17 & Microsoft authentication)

In this gist, you can find the steps to run Minecraft 1.17 natively on Apple Silicon (AS), without needing Rosetta 2 translation of the dependencies (mainly LWJGL and related libraries).

While it's possible to use a launcher like MultiMC to have a prettier way to run the game on AS, it requires installing even more dependencies (like QT) which take time and are difficult to distribute. Therefore, I've put together a command line-based launcher tool using a couple shell & Python scripts.

To get up and running quickly, follow the steps below. Otherwise, for more detail, watch my YouTube videos: old, new.

Linux Desktop on Apple Silicon in Practice

I bought M1 MacBook Air. It is the fastest computer I have, and I have been a GNOME/GNU/Linux user for long time. It is obvious conclusion that I need practical Linux desktop environment on Apple Silicon.

Fortunately, Linux already works on Apple Silicon/M1. But how practical is it?

• Two native ports exist.

Instructions for a mac on how to play with pyenv and poetry

Why both? Pyenv to manage multiple python versions. You can make virtualenvs with pyenv of course, but using poetry will simplify that process

# Install pyenv.
brew install pyenv

# Add pyenv initializer to shell startup script.
echo -e '\nif command -v pyenv 1>/dev/null 2>&1; then
