I’m not too sure what I’m doing with this blog yet. I was thinking of using it to give me a resource to look at to help me remember coding stuff I have done, maybe. We’ll figure it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Anyway, I’m currently working on moving all my websites to this one. It’ll probably be a bit challenging due to this server only using ipv6. For the original domain, blog.sacko.dev, I used a CNAME DNS record to point to sacko.is-a-fullstack.dev; sacko.is-a-fullstack.dev has an AAAA DNS record pointing to this server’s IP address. Nothing seemed to work otherwise with Namecheap’s DNS since I couldn’t only have an AAAA or ipv6 record for a subdomain; it seemed to have wanted an A or ipv4 record. So I had to work with the DNS records like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
blog.sacko.dev CNAME --> sacko.is-a-fullstack.dev AAAA --> server_ipv6_address<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\nThis website took a couple days to set up, too. I accidentally spent hours setting it up as an apache2 web server, and when everything started working, I forgot I needed nginx. So I had to do it all over again. I also had to do odd work-arounds due to this server only supporting ipv6, such as having to download files to my laptop and scp them into my server.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The main point of doing the server move is to save $3.50 a month on my server bill. Since I don’t get much traffic, it doesn’t really matter if I have a really small server. It will also be good for me to relearn how I set up all of my websites. I’d have to set up nginx server blocks for Flask, as well as some website I had automated scripts for updating it from GitHub as I was using it as the CMS for that website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I also was going to try to make an article summarizer with a Raspberry Pi 4B I have at home, as I wanted to test the capabilities of a low-end device for text generation. I found that zephyr-7B 2Q with GPT4All was the best for me so far; it’s slow and barely seems to use the RAM probably because of the CPU bottlenecking it, but it does a good job in following prompt instructions. I may experiment more with it since GPT4All seems to have compatibility issues with newer GGUF models, or overclock my Pi and see what happens once I get some cooling on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s some useful commands I learned for monitoring my Raspberry Pi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll try to post more about my technical adventures as time goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The site is sort of ugly at the moment, but I’ll work on it when I’m feeling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
