Went back to working on the web site, but ended up going down rabbit holes. I’m spending all my time on trying to make the actual work as smooth and perfect as possible, and then I end up spending all my time working on that side stuff.
For example today.
Someone made a GitHub action that can execute an ansible playbook that is in the Github repo. They set it to not check host keys, which saves a lot of hassle, but is a security risk. I had to edit their action and send in a PR so that you can optionally provide host public keys to verify against.
Then since I was testing so much, fail2ban on my own server was blocking me out a couple times. I ended up changing it so it never bans my external IP. But what if my IP changes? It probably doesn’t change often, but it could. I made a script on my raspberry pi that checks ipconfig.co on a regular basis, and if my IP changes, it emails me.
And we’re still in the scaffolding zone and not near the actual GeekNights web site zone.
