I wanted a self-hosted version of the browser’s bookmarks sync system. There are quite a few options. The most appropriate one seems to be xBrowserSync. But even that needs a server-side API setup. It seemed a bit too complex for a simple service and for self-hosting. Then I came across Floccus.
I have had a busy week at work. Lots of non-technical work got done this week. Running an organization means lots of meta work. I took Tuesday off. I wasn’t feeling great. I was exhausted for some reason. Over time, I have realized that when I am tired, it’s better to take the days off than to push through things. I do much better the next day.
Uma’s sleeping cycle has changed a bit. She now sleeps from 7 PM to 6:30 AM, with a short nap in the morning and a longer nap after lunch. Her diet includes most of what we eat, but less spicy. She doesn’t like eggs as of now :(, which are important in our diet, so we keep trying different ways to introduce them.
We introduced Uma to Pathu and Echo on day one, and she has grown up with them since then. Echo and Pathu have been friendly to people and toddlers even before Uma. So it wasn’t difficult to introduce Uma to them, even though she was the youngest baby they had met. It’s also the first time they are living with a human baby. Their relationship is that of siblings.
The weekend was good. It was slow; I mostly spent time at Home. Since it was also the beginning of the month, I spent time paying bills. Echo wasn’t feeling well this week. He is a baby when he is sick. Thankfully, he is recovering. Hopefully, he will be alright by next week.
I recently contributed some imagery to the panoramax project. It’s like Street View but is open and free. Then I saw that the panoramax exposes STAC APIs. I wanted to know more about STAC, which led me down a rabbit hole.
