100 Days, Day 15: Week 2 Reflections

I am very tired. I did a lot this past week, but at the cost of a fair amount of sleep and falling into some bad habits.

The Good

In the interest of giving myself credit, the two big things I did last week are set up a notes page and set up a hot-reloading dev server for threejs sketches, which I'm currently just running manually on days that I use it until I come up with a satisfying way to host "complete" sketches. Using the latter, I set up a draft of a jitsi meet to three.js "3D

Setting Up A Live Remote Three.js Dev Server With Webpack and NGinx

I regret to announce that I am back on my bullshit.

I've spent most of the last week working on getting a live Webpack dev server running for my previous hundred days project. I finally got it working, and a boilerplate version is up on my GitHub if you'd like to skip straight to working code, although you'll need to change a few variable names in there to reflect your own host. In the context of my hundred days project, this was a bit of a step back: I fell into some bad habits (not keeping good notes on what

I am beginning to realize that a significant portion of what I want to do with this hundred days project is to become a more organized person, publicly, online. This may not be the best way to go about it.

The reality of the situation is that I'm trying to blend infrastructural improvements with a daily creative practice, and I can't really do both at the same time. I'm building the boat while I'm sailing it.

Setting Up TiddlyWiki on a Remote Server with Systemd & Nginx

TiddlyWiki is a cool tool, but if you, like me, are ~~insane~~ interested in getting it set up on the cloud, it can be a bit of a hassle. Here's a quick set of instructions to get it to run automatically as a service on a Linux server - I used a Hetzner Ubuntu machine.

Install TiddlyWiki and create a server:

npm install -g tiddlywiki

tiddlywiki {server name} --init server

Create a systemctl file for Tiddlywiki, e.g. etc/systemd/system/tiddlywiki.service

Add the following for a barebones systemd service:

[Unit]
Description=TiddlyWiki Server
After=network.target
StartLimitIntervalSec=0

Diagramming

I am told that diagramming things helps you understand them. I am not sure that is the case, but I tried. Diagrams made with Whimsical.
