Ever feel nostalgic for the days of a good cry?

I finally punched a reverse proxy with websocket from my main Pi to another app server Pi. I swear I hit every single possible gotcha and hidden assumption in examples on the way.

I think Iā€™ll change the main server from Apache to Nginx, and the apps from Python Flask to FastAPI. MariaDB to PostgreSQL too.

I can see that the four sentences you wrote are in English. After that . . . .

In miniature, itā€™s how the big websites spread the load out, compartment functions, and add security.

I have a domain umbraxenu.no-ip.biz that points to one Raspberry Pi, that has a web server running a wiki, and I donā€™t really want to mess with it. On the other hand, Iā€™d like to play with development projects on other Pis and connect them to the Internet. (If they get hacked or die, oh well, reformat that Pi and try again.)

What I can do is tell that main web server to pass requests like umbraxenu.no-ip.biz/multi to another Pi, running that code, which isnā€™t visible to the Internet.

The theory is easy. All the hordes of hell are in the details.

Basically a human litter box:

The toilet is ā€œflushedā€ via a manual lever that moves the belt forward and drops the waste into a bin, sealed with a sprung hatch door to keep its contents safely out of reach of humans and household pests.

Since it requires neither plumbing nor electricity, Sandi acts as a ā€œdrop and goā€ solution that only needs to be pinned to the floor, Read says.

The design gets its name from the use of sand as a protective coating to keep the conveyer belt clean.

To use the Sandi toilet, a person would need to fill the hopper at the rear with sand or a similar locally sourced material. Anything dry and powdered or desiccated such as sawdust or dirt is suitable to stop faeces from sticking to the belt.

Great idea, but getting Muricans to give up water in their terlits (along with that satisfying flush sound) is on par with convincing them itā€™s a good idea to commute not in their own cars, but rather on well subsidized public transport.

Wasted concept for the Western world.

Designed for ā€œprimarily for rural sub-Saharan Africaā€ where the satisfaction of a successful water flush is unimaginable.

Like a composting toilet, it might not be best for apartment living. Fine for folks with a yard.

Uh, wait, am I doing this wrong?
I love pickles.
I have a UV lightā€¦

Is that why people always stare at me at the grocery?
Why donā€™t you people ever tell me these things before I leave the house?!?!?

Next, youā€™ll be getting on my case about blowing bubbles out the window of my car when I sit in traffic jams in Austin.


I mean, I get why people are staring at me as we all sit in our cars. Gridlocked. Nothing moving. Miles of MoPac expressway a parking lot. Car engines idling, ratcheting up climate change. Summer temperatures of a million degrees in the pitiless Texas sun.

It isnā€™t the bubbles, my friend. Itā€™s the fact you have your car window open on MoPac and in summer!
