Fresh/Brewed

I had a note to circle back on Zed. I had looked nearly a year go in August 2025 at their preview feature for AI. At the time, Windows wasn’t there (only via Scoop). I also was far more tied to VS Code so I wasn’t really looking at Zed as a possible replacement. Times have changed, and Zed has advanced quite a lot. So let’s give it another go and this time I’ll be looking at it as a real possible replacement for VS Code (especially as my primary machines are all now Linux based).

In moving our primary blogging system from Github over to a self hosted Gitea, we need to sort out how to best create a proper HA DR environment. This means having some push mirrors. The first thing I did when i setup Gitea to be the “real” repo for this blog was to mirror it to Forgejo. However that instance is on the same cluster, so if there is a catastrophic outage, then I would expect both to be down and have to rely on whatever my last local clone happens to be.

Congratulations! You have been flagged for something.

I have been rocking a Jekyll blog now since around 2021. This blogging site started out in 2019 using Ghost which I automated back then with Azure DevOps. Over all this time, I have written over 500 posts and just the CICD updates, for which I have optimized as best i can are 16 to 25 minutes long. The blogs Github repo is nearly 25Gb expanded! I’ll admit that I am a data hoarder (my wife may just scratch out the word “data” there). I have a hard time purging anything. I have a box of Palm pilots, Windows XP tablet PCs and a working MiniDisc recorder (I will never give it up).
