Random Rumblings

Please note that this blog posts refers to a time when this site used Wordpress. It is now using Haunt.

So today I had a full day of just doing whatever I wanted.?? Here's a recap of the cool things that I was able to do:

• I got one of my websites to use let's encrypt:?? www.gnusites.com.?? As an interesting sidenote, https://www.gnucode.me now points t www.gnusites.com.?? That's not intentional.?? I'll have to fix that another day.
• I fixed a really annoying error with gnus, which is an email client for emacs.?? Basically it was trying to access a server that didn't exist.?? (nntp "news").?? Every time I started gnus, it would try to access this fake server and fail.?? A simple (setq gnus-select-method '(nnnil "")) solved the problem.
• I made this site serve images from a CDN (allegedly).?? I'll have to verify that it actually is.
• get org babel sh code working on remote machines!?? This actually works!?? I wish I was writing this post in org-mode so I could properly show it off.?? Basically I have a file on my local machine.?? And in Emacs I have a file that looks like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC sh :results output :exports
both :dir /ssh:joshua@richardrahl:/home/joshua ls
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
: dead.letter grep

Emacs is using tramp to ssh onto my remote machine, and show the contents.?? Nifty eh?

This basically amounted to me modifying /etc/hosts/ to make richardrahl point to my linode.?? I also used ssh-copy-id to copy my gpg key to that linode.?? It's pretty spectacular!
