zerosleeps

Giles Thomas with some thoughts on writing blog posts they’d wish they’d found.

I try to do this myself, and from a peek at my post history it looks like maybe every third-or-fourth post covers either something I just know I’ll need to refer to in the future and might also be useful to other people, or it’s about some problem that nobody else seems to have written about.

As an example of the former, I have already referred to this post about rebooting an Apple Siri Remote myself about half-a-dozen times since creating it in January. I roll my eyes every time.

And for the latter, well consider this: I don’t track traffic to zerosleeps.com beyond what my web server sends to systemd’s journal, which in turn only keeps those logs for it’s default retention period, but every time I have a look it’s the same 3 posts that show up at the top:

• Dead (but not dead) Ubiquiti UniFi Security Gateway, documenting a problem that presumably lots of people have but is poorly covered elsewhere
• More myki confusion, which doesn’t have much actionable information but obviously resonates with the folk of/visitors to Melbourne
• Sublime Text timestamp snippet, which contains very outdated code and has been superseded by this information
