so, this morning i've been busy reconfiguring my mini pc box to actually cope with a power outage again
one of the problems is that the router it was behind is horribly slow at starting up, so the pc would come back quick smart and then none of the services would be running because they couldn't bind to any network device
so i've plugged it in direct to the upstream router now, and have a usb ethernet dongle for it
irritatingly, the wireless dongle that came as a freebie with the mini pc doesn't seem to want to be recognised, so i don't have wifi to use with my mobile phone currently
but all the services now start up correctly... bitcoin requires me to initiate the RDP connection however, but meh, if it gets out of date, it gets out of date after a rare power outage
i'm not sure i cbf getting it working as a client-server arrangement, i only have it there to use the GUI to make transactions and that's the main reason why i have it at all, because it's isolated from my main daily driver which means whatever stupid shit that crashes my workstation doesn't impact my bitcoin node so most of the time it's always online
the washing machine was clearly the cause of the power outage problems to date, it simply seems to be prone to developing a ground fault, as the landlord's gopher said "that drum makes a lot of noise when it spins" - so probably it's something inside it with conductive stuff dragging near the motor or something - when the lightning strike happened yesterday (it wasn't right here, but close) a big power surge and the current found the path through this ground fault and this time it was like it fused the ground path because now if you plug the device in, it flips the safety
i just rebooted the device now, and this self-hosted version of nostrudel dutifully restarted itself when the remote service restarted, so i know everything on there is now 100% starting up properly, and it all should now start up more or less immediately if my stupid house power circuit has another ground fault device installed, hopefully this will be the last time
https://mleku.net is also hosted off that little box as well, it's nice having it all right here in the room with me yet being able to share it to everyone, and to have the http git access so it even can let people use my stuff... still gonna have to probably do some work to build a Go-friendly git interface for distributed git hosting... got some ideas about adding a Git component alongside a Blossom server that is dedicated to hosting the commits of a collection of git repositories, and making the base addresses of these into consistent npub addresses of the repo owner... then we just need a secure way to enable multi-user upload access and pull restrictions and it's game over for github
