Updates Sept 23

Took a little break on Monday and Tuesday and where I didn’t do too much. Spent some of this week just doing fun tech stuff.

PGrid

Someone else contact using the email about an incorrectly classified listing and that they used the site to buy a gpu. pretty cool!
Found out the logic for finding cheapest card for email alerts wasn’t correct. debugged and fixed
Having an issue with 2 of the smaller servers that only have 1gb ram. Sometimes the worker docker container gets an issue where new playwright browsers can’t be launched anymore and requires a container restart. Added a temp solution to exit the process if that error occurs. No method to auto restart container yet. By the end of the week just stopped using those servers.
Part of cleaning up personal servers, replaced nginx with caddy for simpler config and built in ssl. Ran into a couple of issues related to getting certs and file permissions. Caused api server to go down for an hour.

Started working on this project again, added scripts to create an sqlite db from reddit post titles and do some processing including creating embeddings using the openai CLIP model. This allowed creating a image browser app where you can view images similar to a given image or do searches for specific images. Ended up being fun to browse through the images. Had a slight “magic” feel that you get when you first see new tech (even though this model is 3 years old)
Started a prisma schema for the sqlite model to try extract camera and lens models from the picture titles. Not working yet

Bunch of automating stuff for personal servers
nafisflix: ffmpeg scripts for encoding web friendly video formats. Wanted this for myself so I can watch pirated content across devices.
Trying to get a design and typography I’m satisfied with for this photos blog astro theme but haven’t got there yet.
