Trains are Weird
y does cali succ at train
I’ve come to the conclusion that California has no idea how to do public transportation. Trains for instance get some of the F A T T E S T delays imaginable. Not unlike any other system of transportation like planes or buses, but with trains there’s the added bonus that it can stop, and do nothing, mid travel.
Most countries seemed to have figured out that putting trains on street level means car traffic slows down, and trains have to slow down too. Here in Cali though, we don’t use train tunnels in cities. Before you say something about earthquakes, that’s not actually the reason why. The actual reason, we just suck at public transport. The absolute state of the freeways here is also pretty hilarious; instead of building better freeway routes we just add more lanes which compounds traffic problems.
Syncthing and Remote File Management
What is syncthing?
It’s a free and open source project that basically keeps your files synchronized across multiple devices.
It woks like so(in my setup):
Listen Server => Gets folders and things shared with it
PC => usually uploads stuff to the listen server
Phone => usually just pulls down updates from the listen server
I personally use Syncthing to keep my ever growing music library and Book/Papers collection up to date on my phone and PC.
Building overhaul
Apart from the switch to a more night friendly site style-sheet I’ve also now switch to a new build system for my not-a-blog. Full script at the bottom. Repo link.
The nice thing about this new script? Way more features, more unixy so it ends up being really straight forward to use, oh and it has a nice name now gensite. The only major dependency it has is pandoc but I’m slowly going to phase that out for another script which accomplishes the same thing so far; it just can’t do tables yet.
