Thoughts and opinions on what I learned, often the hard way, while configuring a FreeBSD server behind a CG-NAT and migrating a small Docker infrastructure to a Jail-based one: Networking woos, trade-offs and web services gotchas.

Quick post about a specific issue I met with Nginx when using DNS resolvers and variables instead of hardcoding URL into a proxy_pass directive: URL processing is affected, and I didn’t know that. It probably bitten me several time already, so here it is.

I set up a small virtulization server by installing FreeBSD using my desktop computer with Dnsmasq, an old Netgear router, mfsBSD and a ThinkCentre M710q booting over PXE. It was not as hard as I thought but still pretty involved compared to dd-ing an ISO file on a usb stick. This post describes the general process I followed to get the thingie to boot a fresh FreeBSD installation.

… And learning SuperCollider in general.

This wordy post contains my honest thoughts about this book and a few considerations about learning resources on SuperCollider and what helped me getting somewhere else than the bottom of a very steep learning curve.

I had much trouble getting the SuperCollider extension to work in Emacs and gave up several times because the default IDE is good enough. I still wanted to edit and evaluate my SC projects like I would for other languages.

I spent, like for everything Emacs related when you don’t know Elisp well, an ungodly amount of time trying to fix that. This post shortly describes what worked for me.
