Introduction

This is a guide to deploying Synapse behind a Caddy reverse proxy, both running in Docker containers (an official Synapse one and a caddy-docker-proxy one), with the goal of implementing as much as possible via docker-compose files.

This guide will frequently refer to aspects of my similar guide for deploying Nextcloud behind a Caddy reverse proxy.

Domain Name

Obtain a domain name as per the instructions in the Nextcloud guide. For some Synapse specific considerations, see the official documentation here and here. The remainder of this guide will assume the use of the domain name example.duckdns.org.

Archive.org Scanned Book Downloader Bookmarklet

A simple "1-click" javascript approach to downloading a scanned book from archive.org to read at your leisure on the device of your choosing w/out having to manually screenshot every pages of the book by hand. In short it's a glorified "Save Image As..." approach but consolidated down to "1 click". BTW there may be a much better option than this out there - I just built this as an autistic project to see if it would work.

Obligatory Legal/Disclaimer:

By using this script you agree to delete all book files/images after your 1 hour or 14 days is up! I don't support using this script for any other use cases. After all, none of us have ever kept a library book past it's return date, right?

The following is a WIP guide for installing nix-bitcoin on a RaspberryPi 4.

NixOS is supported on the Pi 4 as an aarch-64 image. Read more here.
Currently, the builds running on Hydra are broken past linux kernel version 5.10, so we'll stick to that version.
Look for a successfully building image on the Hydra website. (Check that you're downloading the 5.10 Linux kernel.)
For example, this guide was built with this build: https://hydra.nixos.org/build/157989162

The image is compressed with zstd. Download and run unzstd to uncompress, or with Nix nix-shell -p zstd --run "unzstd -d .img.zst".

Updating expired GPG keys and their backup 🔑🔐💻

I use a GPG key to sign my git commits.

An error like this one might be a sign of an expired GPG key.

error: gpg failed to sign the data fatal: failed to write commit object

Think twice before abandoning Xorg. Wayland breaks everything!

Hence, if you are interested in existing applications to "just work" without the need for adjustments, then you may be better off avoiding Wayland.

Wayland solves no issues I have but breaks almost everything I need. Even the most basic, most simple things (like xkill) - in this case with no obvious replacement. And usually it stays broken, because the Wayland folks mostly seem to care about Automotive, Gnome, maybe KDE - and alienating everyone else (e.g., people using just an X11 window manager or something like GNUstep) in the process.

As 2024 is winding down:
