  • Stop Guessing if Your Servers are Up: Free VPS Monitoring Guide

    In this video, I explore how to set up Uptime Kuma on a Free VPS using Docker Compose to create a robust, 24/7 monitoring solution for your home lab or AI applications. I dive into the practical logic of utilising free-tier cloud resources to ensure your services stay online without adding to your monthly overhead.

    The discussion covers the end-to-end deployment of a modern monitoring stack. I walk through my docker-compose.yaml configuration, which integrates Uptime Kuma for service availability alerts, Caddy for automatic SSL encryption, and the Beszel Agent for lightweight host metrics.

    Practical Tips: Best practices for managing your monitoring environment via the terminal and keeping your containers up to date.

    Whether you're looking to monitor a complex AI workflow or just want a reliable status page for your personal projects, this setup provides a professional-grade solution at zero cost, and that includes running from a free VPS server.

      This is a little game demo that I made some years ago. I want to port it to guile, but time is a limiting factor. If you would like to play my game demo, you can pay me $5 and I will send you the secret url and a link to the source code.

      I will also accept bitcoin as well:

      It is on my TODO list to port this to GNU Guile, but it may take me some time.

      Thanks,

    • Slay The Spire 2 - The Regent - Ascension 10 - Defeat at 2nd Final Boss

      The current state of Ascension seems like it's ... too hard? At least for The Regent.

      I have beaten Ascension Level 10 with The Necrobinder, The Ironclad and The Silent, in that order. My total playtime with each of those characters are 29h47m, 20h00m and 31h15m, respectively. I've now played 72h38m with The Regent, and I've still not been able to defeat Ascension Level 10. I've reached the double bosses a few times, but mostly don't get that far. I know it's supposed to be VERY HARD, but if even this really nice deck, with quite a few very hard-to-achieve synergies isn't enough, maybe it needs a little tweak? I think the new boss, the Aeonglass, is a little bit too punishing with how fast it fills your deck with Wither status cards.
