I had always heard about ETL, but I had never really explored it. I’ve always used ClickHouse as a data warehouse for multiple types of databases. This week, though, I focused on learning more about ETL, and I have to admit I was surprised by how much of my work could actually be simplified. Really interesting. A great discovery. 🙂

One of the saddest parts of my infrastructure , and possibly my worst purchase ever , was buying a Synology DS220j about four years ago.

Not because Synology makes bad products. They don’t. It’s just that this particular model is... unfortunate.

I wanted something entry-level. What I actually bought was something that can’t even be called entry-level. It’s more like the parking lot outside the entrance.

I get so frustrated by Cloudron support’s lack of understanding. Even though I no longer use it, I really wish they offered discounts for third-world countries dealing with out-of-control inflation. Unfortunately, I ended up giving up on their software. It makes me so angry that I feel like telling them that this cracks their software:
"sed -i 's/await purchaseApp///await purchaseApp/' /home/yellowtent/box/src/apps.js"

A little one they’ll never know about. 😅
