Just a nod
Last month I added a new feature to the bottom of almost all pages on this site: a “nod” button. It’s a bit like the upvote buttons you see on bear blog posts, or the ubiquitous like button you get on social media, with one key difference: it doesn’t track or count anything. Before I get into the whys and hows, this is what it currently looks like: The nod button in all its glory. If you want a clickable version you’ll need to scroll a bit more. So why bother? I l...
Monthly Meanderings: January 2026
Welcome to the second edition of my monthly meanderings. For a bit of context, you can check out the introduction to the first edition. Website updates It’s been a pretty busy month for chameth.com. Three blog posts: The Meaning of Life — an entry into the IndieWeb carnival where I mostly review a book on Stoicism — Surge Protectors: Marketing vs Reality which is a dump of a research rabbit hole I fell into, and An Interesting Tailscale + Docker Gotcha which documents a fun problem I encountere...
An interesting Tailscale + Docker gotcha
As I’ve written about before, I use Tailscale for a lot of things. I thought I had it set up in a reasonably secure manner, but I recently noticed a problem. I use Tailscale’s ACLs to limit what each node can access, based on the tags I apply to it. So an app node can’t access anything via Tailscale, while an integration or server node can access things tagged with either app or integration. This is expressed pretty simply in the Tailscale ACL JSON: { "tagOwners": { // Servers that ca...
Surge protectors: marketing vs reality
A while back I went down a deep rabbit hole looking into surge protectors, and what all the different numbers mean, and how that affects things in case of a voltage spike. Then I didn’t really do anything with the information, other than bore a few friends, and look around in despair at all the shockingly bad products out there. Time to fix that! I’m coming at this from the angle of a computer user in a country with very good electrical regulations. If you’re protecting something else, or live s...
The meaning of life
Now that’s a grandiose title for a blog post! Blame Jeremiah Lee, who selected it as the theme for January’s IndieWeb Carnival. I’ve not taken part in this before, but it’s basically a shared writing prompt. One person selects a theme, other people write about it on their own sites, and then the host does a round-up linking to all the various responses. I’ve come across it a few times before, but the topics have never really engaged me; they don’t feel like the sort of thing I’d write about. But...
