I took this week off. While some might call it a staycation, I call it a mini-retirement. No matter the terminology, it was awesome. I got some late season sailing in, accomplished most to the things on my to-do list, played some bass, made pizza—an all around good time. Now, I need to gird myself for the return to work on Monday.
Since 2022, I’ve been using a docker image someone created to run our Jamulus server when we need it. It’s quick and easy to set up and it works great. If you’re interested in doing a similar thing, I put together some instructions on running your own Jamulus Server. While I was at it, I noticed that the docker image hadn’t been updated in 3 years, so I forked the repo, updated the Linux and Jamulus versions and rebuilt the Jamulus docker image.
I also did some more work on the personal newsletter (mentioned previously). Now, it also lists the day’s events from a shared calendar. The more dynamic content in the newsletter, the better. Knowing what’s coming up that day is very helpful. I think weather might be next.

Since I had more leisure time this week, I amassed quite the collection of interesting links. So many, that I decided to save a few for next week. You’re welcome.

This sounds horrible. Most developers I’ve met really hate when cleaning up other people’s messes becomes the dominant part of their job. These vibe coded messes are probably all the more messier. See also Vibe Coding Has Turned Senior Devs Into ‘AI Babysitters’.
