SysNotes devlog 1
Hiya! We're a web developer by trade and we wanted to build ourselves a web-app to manage our system and to get to know each other better. We thought it would be fun to make a sort of a devlog on this blog to show off the development! The working title of this project is SysNotes (but better ideas are welcome!)
Tumblr media
What SysNotes is✅:
A place to store profiles of all of our parts
A tool to figure out who is in front
A way to explore our inner world
A private chat similar to PluralKit
A way to combine info about our system with info about our OCs etc as an all-encompassing "brain-world" management system
A personal and tailor-made tool made for our needs
What SysNotes is not❌:
A fronting tracker (we see no need for it in our system)
A social media where users can interact (but we're open to make it so if people are interested)
A public platform that can be used by others (we don't have much experience actually hosting web-apps, but will consider it if there is enough interest!)
An offline app
So if this sounds interesting to you, you can find the first devlog below the cut (it's a long one!):
(I have used word highlighting and emojis as it helps me read large chunks of text, I hope it's alright with y'all!)
Tech stack & setup (feel free to skip if you don't care!)
The project is set up using:
Database: MySQL 8.4.3
Language: PHP 8.3
Framework: Laravel 10 with Breeze (authentication and user accounts) and Livewire 3 (front end integration)
Styling: Tailwind v4
I tried to set up Laragon to easily run the backend, but I ran into issues so I'm just running "php artisan serve" for now and using Laragon to run the DB. Also I'm compiling styles in real time with "npm run dev". Speaking of the DB, I just migrated the default auth tables for now. I will be making app-related DB tables in the next devlog. The awesome thing about Laravel is its Breeze starter kit, which gives you fully functioning authentication and basic account management out of the box, as well as optional Livewire to integrate server-side processing into HTML in the sexiest way. This means that I could get all the boring stuff out of the way with one terminal command. Win!
Styling and layout (for the UI nerds - you can skip this too!)
I changed the default accent color from purple to orange (personal preference) and used an emoji as a placeholder for the logo. I actually kinda like the emoji AS a logo so I might keep it.
Laravel Breeze came with a basic dashboard page, which I expanded with a few containers for the different sections of the page. I made use of the components that come with Breeze to reuse code for buttons etc throughout the code, and made new components as the need arose. Man, I love clean code 😌
I liked the dotted default Laravel page background, so I added it to the dashboard to create the look of a bullet journal. I like the journal-type visuals for this project as it goes with the theme of a notebook/file. I found the code for it here.
I also added some placeholder menu items for the pages that I would like to have in the app - Profile, (Inner) World, Front Decider, and Chat.
Tumblr media
i ran into an issue dynamically building Tailwind classes such as class="bg-{{$activeStatus['color']}}-400" - turns out dynamically-created classes aren't supported, even if they're constructed in the component rather than the blade file. You learn something new every day huh…
Tumblr media
Also, coming from Tailwind v3, "ps-*" and "pe-*" were confusing to get used to since my muscle memory is "pl-*" and "pr-*" 😂
Feature 1: Profiles page - proof of concept
This is a page where each alter's profiles will be displayed. You can switch between the profiles by clicking on each person's name. The current profile is highlighted in the list using a pale orange colour.
Tumblr media
The logic for the profiles functionality uses a Livewire component called Profiles, which loads profile data and passes it into the blade view to be displayed. It also handles logic such as switching between the profiles and formatting data. Currently, the data is hardcoded into the component using an associative array, but I will be converting it to use the database in the next devlog.
Tumblr media
New profile (TBC)
You will be able to create new profiles on the same page (this is yet to be implemented). My vision is that the New Alter form will unfold under the button, and fold back up again once the form has been submitted.
Alter name, pronouns, status
The most interesting component here is the status, which is currently set to a hardcoded list of "active", "dormant", and "unknown". However, I envision this to be a customisable list where I can add new statuses to the list from a settings menu (yet to be implemented).
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Alter image
I wanted the folder that contained alter images and other assets to be outside of my Laravel project, in the Pictures folder of my operating system. I wanted to do this so that I can back up the assets folder whenever I back up my Pictures folder lol (not for adding/deleting the files - this all happens through the app to maintain data integrity!). However, I learned that Laravel does not support that and it will not be able to see my files because they are external. I found a workaround by using symbolic links (symlinks) 🔗. Basically, they allow to have one folder of identical contents in more than one place. I ran "mklink /D [external path] [internal path]" to create the symlink between my Pictures folder and Laravel's internal assets folder, so that any files that I add to my Pictures folder automatically copy over to Laravel's folder. I changed a couple lines in filesystems.php to point to the symlinked folder:
Tumblr media
And I was also getting a "404 file not found" error - I think the issue was because the port wasn't originally specified. I changed the base app URL to the localhost IP address in .env:
Tumblr media
…And after all this messing around, it works!
(My Pictures folder)
Tumblr media
(My Laravel storage)
Tumblr media
(And here is Alice's photo displayed - dw I DO know Ibuki's actual name)
Tumblr media
Alter description and history
The description and history fields support HTML, so I can format these fields however I like, and add custom features like tables and bullet point lists.
Tumblr media
This is done by using blade's HTML preservation tags "{!! !!}" as opposed to the plain text tags "{{ }}".
(Here I define Alice's description contents)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(And here I insert them into the template)
Tumblr media
Traits, likes, dislikes, front triggers
These are saved as separate lists and rendered as fun badges. These will be used in the Front Decider (anyone has a better name for it?? 🤔) tool to help me identify which alter "I" am as it's a big struggle for us. Front Decider will work similar to FlowCharty.
Tumblr media
What next?
There's lots more things I want to do with SysNotes! But I will take it one step at a time - here is the plan for the next devlog:
Setting up database tables for the profile data
Adding the "New Profile" form so I can create alters from within the app
Adding ability to edit each field on the profile
I tried my best to explain my work process in a way that wold somewhat make sense to non-coders - if you have any feedback for the future format of these devlogs, let me know!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Disclaimers:
I have not used AI in the making of this app and I do NOT support the Vibe Coding mind virus that is currently on the loose. Programming is a form of art, and I will defend manual coding until the day I die.
Any alter data found in the screenshots is dummy data that does not represent our actual system.
I will not be making the code publicly available until it is a bit more fleshed out, this so far is just a trial for a concept I had bouncing around my head over the weekend.
We are SYSCOURSE NEUTRAL! Please don't start fights under this post

BRB... just upgrading Python
CW: nerdy, technical details.
Originally, MLTSHP (well, MLKSHK back then) was developed for Python 2. That was fine for 2010, but 15 years later, and Python 2 is now pretty ancient and unsupported. January 1st, 2020 was the official sunset for Python 2, and 5 years later, we’re still running things with it. It’s served us well, but we have to transition to Python 3.
Well, I bit the bullet and started working on that in earnest in 2023. The end of that work resulted in a working version of MLTSHP on Python 3. So, just ship it, right? Well, the upgrade process basically required upgrading all Python dependencies as well. And some (flyingcow, torndb, in particular) were never really official, public packages, so those had to be adopted into MLTSHP and upgraded as well. With all those changes, it required some special handling. Namely, setting up an additional web server that could be tested against the production database (unit tests can only go so far).
Here’s what that change comprised: 148 files changed, 1923 insertions, 1725 deletions. Most of those changes were part of the first commit for this branch, made on July 9, 2023 (118 files changed).
But by the end of that July, I took a break from this task - I could tell it wasn’t something I could tackle in my spare time at that time.
Time passes…
Fast forward to late 2024, and I take some time to revisit the Python 3 release work. Making a production web server for the new Python 3 instance was another big update, since I wanted the Docker container OS to be on the latest LTS edition of Ubuntu. For 2023, that was 20.04, but in 2025, it’s 24.04. I also wanted others to be able to test the server, which means the CDN layer would have to be updated to direct traffic to the test server (without affecting general traffic); I went with a client-side cookie that could target the Python 3 canary instance.
In addition to these upgrades, there were others to consider — MySQL, for one. We’ve been running MySQL 5, but version 9 is out. We settled on version 8 for now, but could also upgrade to 8.4… 8.0 is just the version you get for Ubuntu 24.04. RabbitMQ was another server component that was getting behind (3.5.7), so upgrading it to 3.12.1 (latest version for Ubuntu 24.04) seemed proper.
One more thing - our datacenter. We’ve been using Linode’s Fremont region since 2017. It’s been fine, but there are some emerging Linode features that I’ve been wanting. VPC support, for one. And object storage (basically the same as Amazon’s S3, but local, so no egress cost to-from Linode servers). Both were unavailable to Fremont, so I decided to go with their Chicago region for the upgrade.
Now we’re talking… this is now not just a “push a button” release, but a full-fleged, build everything up and tear everything down kind of release that might actually have some downtime (while trying to keep it short)!
I built a release plan document and worked through it. The key to the smooth upgrade I want was to make the cutover as seamless as possible. Picture it: once everything is set up for the new service in Chicago - new database host, new web servers and all, what do we need to do to make the switch almost instant? It’s Fastly, our CDN service.
All traffic to our service runs through Fastly. A request to the site comes in, Fastly routes it to the appropriate host, which in turns speaks to the appropriate database. So, to transition from one datacenter to the other, we need to basically change the hosts Fastly speaks to. Those hosts will already be set to talk to the new database. But that’s a key wrinkle - the new database…
The new database needs the data from the old database. And to make for a seamless transition, it needs to be up to the second in step with the old database. To do that, we have take a copy of the production data and get it up and running on the new database. Then, we need to have some process that will copy any new data to it since the last sync. This sounded a lot like replication to me, but the more I looked at doing it that way, I wasn’t confident I could set that up without bringing the production server down. That’s because any replica needs to start in a synchronized state. You can’t really achieve that with a live database. So, instead, I created my own sync process that would copy new data on a periodic basis as it came in.
Beyond this, we need a proper replication going in the new datacenter. In case the database server goes away unexpectedly, a replica of it allows for faster recovery and some peace of mind. Logical backups can be made from the replica and stored in Linode’s object storage if something really disastrous happens (like tables getting deleted by some intruder or a bad data migration).
I wanted better monitoring, too. We’ve been using Linode’s Longview service and that’s okay and free, but it doesn’t act on anything that might be going wrong. I decided to license M/Monit for this. M/Monit is so lightweight and nice, along with Monit running on each server to keep track of each service needed to operate stuff. Monit can be given instructions on how to self-heal certain things, but also provides alerts if something needs manual attention.
And finally, Linode’s Chicago region supports a proper VPC setup, which allows for all the connectivity between our servers to be totally private to their own subnet. It also means that I was able to set up an additional small Linode instance to serve as a bastion host - a server that can be used for a secure connection to reach the other servers on the private subnet. This is a lot more secure than before… we’ve never had a breach (at least, not to my knowledge), and this makes that even less likely going forward. Remote access via SSH is now unavailable without using the bastion server, so we don’t have to expose our servers to potential future ssh vulnerabilities.
So, to summarize: the MLTSHP Python 3 upgrade grew from a code release to a full stack upgrade, involving touching just about every layer of the backend of MLTSHP.
Here’s a before / after picture of some of the bigger software updates applied (apologies for using images for these tables, but Tumblr doesn’t do tables):
Tumblr media
And a summary of infrastructure updates:
Tumblr media
I’m pretty happy with how this has turned out. And I learned a lot. I’m a full-stack developer, so I’m familiar with a lot of devops concepts, but actually doing that role is newish to me. I got to learn how to set up a proper secure subnet for our set of hosts, making them more secure than before. I learned more about Fastly configuration, about WireGuard, about MySQL replication, and about deploying a large update to a live site with little to no downtime. A lot of that is due to meticulous release planning and careful execution. The secret for that is to think through each and every step - no matter how small. Document it, and consider the side effects of each. And with each step that could affect the public service, consider the rollback process, just in case it’s needed.
At this time, the server migration is complete and things are running smoothly. Hopefully we won’t need to do everything at once again, but we have a recipe if it comes to that.

What Is Linux Web Hosting? A Beginner's Guide
In the ever-evolving digital landscape, the choice of web hosting can significantly impact your online presence. One of the most popular options available is Linux web hosting. But what exactly does it entail, and why is it so widely preferred? This beginner’s guide aims to demystify Linux web hosting, its features, benefits, and how it stands against other hosting types.
Introduction to Web Hosting
Web hosting is a fundamental service that enables individuals and organisations to make their websites accessible on the internet. When you create a website, it consists of numerous files, such as HTML, images, and databases, which need to be stored on a server. A web host provides the server space and connectivity required for these files to be accessed by users online.
There are several types of web hosting, each designed to cater to different needs and budgets. Shared hosting is a cost-effective option where multiple websites share the same server resources. Virtual Private Server (VPS) hosting offers a middle ground, providing dedicated portions of a server for greater performance and control. Dedicated hosting provides an entire server exclusively for one website, ensuring maximum performance but at a higher cost. Cloud hosting uses multiple servers to balance the load and maximise uptime, offering a scalable solution for growing websites.
Web hosting services also include various features to enhance the performance and security of your website. These can range from basic offerings like email accounts and website builders to more advanced features like SSL certificates, automated backups, and DDoS protection. The choice of web hosting can significantly influence your website’s speed, security, and reliability, making it crucial to choose a solution that aligns with your specific requirements.
Understanding the different types of web hosting and the features they offer can help you make an informed decision that suits your needs.

Linux Hosting vs Windows Hosting: A Comparative Analysis
When evaluating Linux hosting against Windows hosting, several critical factors come into play. Cost is a significant differentiator; Linux hosting is generally more affordable due to its open-source nature, which eliminates the need for expensive licensing fees. In contrast, Windows hosting often incurs additional costs related to proprietary software licenses.
Compatibility is another important aspect to consider. Linux hosting is renowned for its compatibility with a broad array of open-source software and applications, including popular content management systems like WordPress, Joomla, and Magento. These platforms typically perform better on Linux servers due to optimised server configurations. On the other hand, Windows hosting is the go-to option for websites that rely on Microsoft-specific technologies such as ASP.NET, MSSQL, and other .NET frameworks.
Performance and stability are also crucial elements in this comparison. Linux hosting often provides superior uptime and faster loading speeds due to the lightweight nature of the Linux operating system. The robust performance of Linux servers is further enhanced by the active community that continuously works on optimisations and security patches. Windows hosting, while also reliable, can sometimes be more resource-intensive, potentially affecting performance.
Customisation and control levels differ significantly between the two. Linux offers greater flexibility and customisation options, allowing users to tweak server settings and configurations extensively. This level of control is particularly beneficial for developers who need a tailored hosting environment. Conversely, Windows hosting is typically easier to manage for those familiar with the Windows operating system but may offer less flexibility in terms of customisation.
Security measures also vary between Linux and Windows hosting. Linux is often praised for its strong security features, which are bolstered by a large community dedicated to promptly addressing vulnerabilities. While Windows hosting is secure, it may require more frequent updates and maintenance to ensure the same level of protection.
Common Use Cases for Linux Web Hosting
Linux web hosting is versatile and caters to a broad range of applications, making it a popular choice across various sectors. One of the most common use cases is hosting blogs and personal websites, particularly those built on platforms like WordPress. The open-source nature of Linux and its compatibility with PHP make it an ideal environment for WordPress, which powers a significant portion of the web.
E-commerce websites also benefit greatly from Linux web hosting. Solutions like Magento, PrestaShop, and OpenCart often perform better on Linux servers due to their need for a robust, secure, and scalable hosting environment. The flexibility to configure server settings allows online store owners to optimise performance and ensure a smooth shopping experience for their customers.
Content Management Systems (CMS) such as Joomla and Drupal are another prime use case. These systems require reliable and flexible hosting solutions to manage complex websites with large amounts of content. Linux's support for various databases and scripting languages ensures seamless integration and optimal performance for CMS-based sites.
Developers frequently turn to Linux web hosting for custom web applications. The operating system supports a variety of programming languages, including Python, Ruby, and Perl, making it suitable for a wide array of development projects. Its command-line interface and extensive package repositories allow developers to install and manage software efficiently.
Additionally, Linux web hosting is commonly used for educational and non-profit websites. The low cost and high reliability make it a practical choice for schools, universities, and charitable organisations that need a dependable online presence without breaking the bank.
Setting Up a Linux Web Hosting Environment
Setting up a Linux web hosting environment can be straightforward with the right approach. Begin by selecting a reputable hosting provider that offers Linux-based plans. After signing up, you'll typically be granted access to a control panel, such as cPanel or Plesk, which simplifies the management of your hosting environment. Through the control panel, you can manage files, databases, email accounts, and more.
Next, if you're using a content management system (CMS) like WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal, you can often find one-click installation options within the control panel. This feature makes it easy to get your website up and running quickly. Additionally, ensure that you configure your domain name to point to your new hosting server, which usually involves updating your domain's DNS settings.
For those who prefer more control or are comfortable using the command line, you can manually set up your web server using SSH access. This method allows you to install and configure web server software like Apache or Nginx, as well as databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL.
Regardless of the setup method you choose, it's crucial to secure your server from the outset. This includes setting up a firewall, enabling SSH key authentication for secure access, and regularly updating all software to protect against vulnerabilities. Regularly monitoring your server's performance and security logs can help you stay ahead of potential issues, ensuring a stable and secure hosting environment for your website.
Security Best Practices for Linux Web Hosting
Securing your Linux web hosting environment is paramount to safeguarding your website against potential threats. Begin by ensuring your server software and all installed applications are up to date. Regular updates often include patches for security vulnerabilities, making this a critical step. Utilise strong, unique passwords for all user accounts, and consider employing SSH key authentication for added security when accessing your server remotely.
Setting up a firewall is another essential measure. Tools like iptables or firewalld can help you configure firewall rules to control incoming and outgoing traffic, thereby reducing the risk of unauthorised access. Implementing intrusion detection systems (IDS), such as Fail2Ban, can provide an additional layer of security by monitoring and blocking suspicious activities.
Consider deploying an SSL certificate to encrypt data transmitted between your server and users' browsers. This not only enhances security but also boosts user trust and can improve your search engine rankings. Additionally, limit the use of root privileges; create separate user accounts with the necessary permissions to minimise potential damage in the event of a breach.
Regularly backup your data to mitigate the impact of data loss due to hardware failure, cyber-attacks, or human error. Automated backup solutions can simplify this process, ensuring your data is consistently protected. Monitoring your server's logs can also be invaluable for identifying unusual activity early. Tools like Logwatch or the ELK Stack can assist in log management and analysis, enabling you to take swift action if anomalies are detected.
Common Challenges and How to Overcome Them
Setting up and maintaining a Linux web hosting environment can present various challenges, especially for those new to the platform. One frequent issue is navigating the command line, which can be daunting for beginners. Engaging with online tutorials, forums, and communities like Stack Overflow can be invaluable for learning the basics and troubleshooting problems. Another common challenge is software incompatibility.

The Comprehensive Guide to Web Development, Data Management, and More 
Introduction 
Everything today is technology driven in this digital world. There's a lot happening behind the scenes when you use your favorite apps, go to websites, and do other things with all of those zeroes and ones — or binary data. In this blog, I will be explaining what all these terminologies really means and other basics of web development, data management etc. We will be discussing them in the simplest way so that this becomes easy to understand for beginners or people who are even remotely interested about technology.  JOIN US
What is Web Development? 
Web development refers to the work and process of developing a website or web application that can run in a web browser. From laying out individual web page designs before we ever start coding, to how the layout will be implemented through HTML/CSS. There are two major fields of web development — front-end and back-end. 
Front-End Development 
Front-end development, also known as client-side development, is the part of web development that deals with what users see and interact with on their screens. It involves using languages like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create the visual elements of a website, such as buttons, forms, and images. JOIN US
HTML (HyperText Markup Language): 
HTML is the foundation of all website, it helps one to organize their content on web platform. It provides the default style to basic elements such as headings, paragraphs and links. 
CSS (Cascading Style Sheets):  
styles and formats HTML elements. It makes an attractive and user-friendly look of webpage as it controls the colors, fonts, layout. 
JavaScript :  
A language for adding interactivity to a website Users interact with items, like clicking a button to send in a form or viewing images within the slideshow. JOIN US
Back-End Development 
The difference while front-end development is all about what the user sees, back end involves everything that happens behind. The back-end consists of a server, database and application logic that runs on the web. 
Server: 
A server is a computer that holds website files and provides them to the user browser when they request it. Server-Side: These are populated by back-end developers who build and maintain servers using languages like Python, PHP or Ruby. 
Database:  
The place where a website keeps its data, from user details to content and settings The database is maintained with services like MySQL, PostgreSQL, or MongoDB. JOIN US
Application Logic —  
the code that links front-end and back-end It takes user input, gets data from the database and returns right informations to front-end area. 
Tumblr media
Why Proper Data Management is Absolutely Critical 
Data management — Besides web development this is the most important a part of our Digital World. What Is Data Management? It includes practices, policies and procedures that are used to collect store secure data in controlled way. 
Data Storage –  
data after being collected needs to be stored securely such data can be stored in relational databases or cloud storage solutions. The most important aspect here is that the data should never be accessed by an unauthorized source or breached. JOIN US
Data processing:  
Right from storing the data, with Big Data you further move on to process it in order to make sense out of hordes of raw information. This includes cleansing the data (removing errors or redundancies), finding patterns among it, and producing ideas that could be useful for decision-making. 
Data Security:  
Another important part of data management is the security of it. It refers to defending data against unauthorized access, breaches or other potential vulnerabilities. You can do this with some basic security methods, mostly encryption and access controls as well as regular auditing of your systems. 
Other Critical Tech Landmarks 
There are a lot of disciplines in the tech world that go beyond web development and data management. Here are a few of them: 
Cloud Computing 
Leading by example, AWS had established cloud computing as the on-demand delivery of IT resources and applications via web services/Internet over a decade considering all layers to make it easy from servers up to top most layer. This will enable organizations to consume technology resources in the form of pay-as-you-go model without having to purchase, own and feed that infrastructure. JOIN US
Cloud Computing Advantages:  
Main advantages are cost savings, scalability, flexibility and disaster recovery. Resources can be scaled based on usage, which means companies only pay for what they are using and have the data backed up in case of an emergency. 
Examples of Cloud Services: 
Few popular cloud services are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. These provide a plethora of services that helps to Develop and Manage App, Store Data etc. 
Cybersecurity 
As the world continues to rely more heavily on digital technologies, cybersecurity has never been a bigger issue. Protecting computer systems, networks and data from cyber attacks is called Cyber security. 
Phishing attacks, Malware, Ransomware and Data breaches: 
This is common cybersecurity threats. These threats can bear substantial ramifications, from financial damages to reputation harm for any corporation. 
Cybersecurity Best Practices:  
In order to safeguard against cybersecurity threats, it is necessary to follow best-practices including using strong passwords and two-factor authorization, updating software as required, training employees on security risks. 
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning 
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) represent the fastest-growing fields of creating systems that learn from data, identifying patterns in them. These are applied to several use-cases like self driving cars, personalization in Netflix. 
AI vs ML —  
AI is the broader concept of machines being able to carry out tasks in a way we would consider “smart”. Machine learning is a type of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that provides computers with the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. JOIN US
Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: some common applications include Image recognition, Speech to text, Natural language processing, Predictive analytics Robotics. 
Web Development meets Data Management etc. 
We need so many things like web development, data management and cloud computing plus cybersecurity etc.. but some of them are most important aspects i.e. AI/ML yet more fascinating is where these fields converge or play off each other. 
Web Development and Data Management 
Web Development and Data Management goes hand in hand. The large number of websites and web-based applications in the world generate enormous amounts of data — from user interactions, to transaction records. Being able to manage this data is key in providing a fantastic user experience and enabling you to make decisions based on the right kind of information. 
E.g. E-commerce Website, products data need to be saved on server also customers data should save in a database loosely coupled with orders and payments. This data is necessary for customization of the shopping experience as well as inventory management and fraud prevention. 
Cloud Computing and Web Development 
The development of the web has been revolutionized by cloud computing which gives developers a way to allocate, deploy and scale applications more or less without service friction. Developers now can host applications and data in cloud services instead of investing for physical servers. 
E.g. A start-up company can use cloud services to roll out the web application globally in order for all users worldwide could browse it without waiting due unavailability of geolocation prohibited access. 
The Future of Cybersecurity and Data Management 
Which makes Cybersecurity a very important part of the Data management. The more data collected and stored by an organization, the greater a target it becomes for cyber threats. It is important to secure this data using robust cybersecurity measures, so that sensitive information remains intact and customer trust does not weaken. JOIN US
Ex: A healthcare provider would have to protect patient data in order to be compliant with regulations such as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) that is also responsible for ensuring a degree of confidentiality between a provider and their patients. 
Conclusion 
Well, in a nutshell web-developer or Data manager etc are some of the integral parts for digital world.
As a Business Owner, Tech Enthusiast or even if you are just planning to make your Career in tech — it is important that you understand these. With the progress of technology never slowing down, these intersections are perhaps only going to come together more strongly and develop into cornerstones that define how we live in a digital world tomorrow. 
With the fundamental knowledge of web development, data management, automation and ML you will manage to catch up with digital movements. Whether you have a site to build, ideas data to manage or simply interested in what’s hot these days, skills and knowledge around the above will stand good for changing tech world. JOIN US

Today looks like this
Tumblr media
I'm considering adding a gameboy emulator to the media server, was testing a couple of javascript libraries when I realized I didn't have any gb, gbc, or gba roms on this computer or on a handy usb.
But I did realize that I have an SD image backup of the emulator raspberry pi I set up a few months ago, so now I'm waiting for gunzip.
Last night I put together a franken media server so that my wife can have a projected snow lightshow for her work christmas display. That involved modifying fstab on a separate machine, manually truncating MySQL tables, reinstalling the media server web software (was originally running of USB via a file link) and reconnecting it to the existing database because the install script for vogon still doesn't work and my illness made me procrastinate until the night before.
What I'm saying is that it's been a lot of Linux tomfoolery in the last 24 hours.

Cheap VPS hosting providers
The majority of small businesses would begin their websites with a shared web hosting service. On the other hand, there will come a moment when your website expands beyond the capabilities of a shared hosting setup. If you do not require the more expensive enterprise-scale dedicated hosting, you should think about purchasing a cheap VPS hosting service instead. Despite the fact that the physical server is shared, virtual private server hosting makes use of virtualization technology to create the illusion of having your very own dedicated server. A virtual private server (VPS) provides the benefits of dedicated servers in cheap price associated with dedicated hosting. For the purpose of assisting, you in selecting the most suitable solution and web hosting service provider for your website, we will first explore what virtual private server (VPS) hosting is, how it operates, and who the most reliable web hosting companies are. 
Tumblr media
What is VPS hosting?
Customers are typically required to begin the process of constructing a website or web application by establishing a database, configuring a web server, and adding their code. The administration of physical server hardware can be a difficult and costly job. In order to effectively address this issue, web hosting service providers are responsible for managing the hardware that makes up the server and enabling users to make use of these resources. When a user subscribes to virtual private server hosting, they are provided with a virtual machine that is equipped with dedicated resources and is ready for them to deploy and configure their website or application. Customers who use virtual private server hosting are able to concentrate on their websites or applications without having to waste time and effort dealing with the physical servers that are hosting their code due to this arrangement. The performance of their websites is guaranteed to be secure, dependable, and constant when using best VPS hosting service.
How does VPS hosting works?
The operating system of the server is layered with a virtual layer that is installed by your best web hosting service provider upon the server. In order to create unique virtual machines, or VMs, this virtual layer partitions the server into independent compartments that are dedicated to each user. The operating system, software, and other necessary tools for hosting your website can be installed within each compartment according to your preferences. A control panel such as cPanel, Linux, and MySQL are some examples. Through the utilisation of these virtual computers, you will be ensured access to resources. The speed of your server is not dependent on the number of resources that are utilised by other websites that are hosted on the same server, in contrast to shared hosting.
Through the use of virtualization, an affordable VPS hosting service provider provides you with the opportunity to experience the feeling of having your very own dedicated environment. Your website is housed in a private container that is also isolated, and it has resources that are specifically designated for you. This indicates that your website is housed within a protected container of server resources, including memory, disc space, CPU cores, and other resources. Not a single one of it is required to be shared with other people.
What does virtual private server hosting consist of?
Best VPS hosting services can be broken down into three primary categories.
Managed virtual private servers
When you use fully managed virtual private server hosting, the amount of time, effort, and technical expertise you need to devote to maintaining your server is reduced. To allow you to focus entirely on expanding your company, the managed virtual private server hosting provider will handle all of the server-related chores, such as installing software, performing maintenance, and updating the core software. Managed virtual private server hosting provides a hands-free method of server management.
Semi-managed VPS services
The semi-managed virtual private server hosting service is a compromise between the managed and unmanaged hosting options. In addition to providing the same fundamentals as unmanaged hosting, the hosting firm also offers support and installation of core software.
Unmanaged VPS hosting
The web hosting service provider responsible for all of the server responsibilities and maintenance work when the company uses unmanaged hosting or self-managed hosting. The only thing that an affordable hosting service provider is responsible for managing is the physical server and its availability. When it comes to managing server memory, operating systems, and other server resources, unmanaged virtual private server hosting necessitates either experience in the field of technology or dedicated resources inside the organization. Unmanaged virtual private server hosting is more suitable for well-established companies that possess the requisite information technology capabilities.
Advantages of VPS hosting?
The cheap VPS hosting plans provides the features listed below. However, if you are currently using a shared hosting service provider and a dedicated server is outside your financial means, you do not need to be concerned about these issues.
Eliminate mistakes on the server.
When your website expands, you will need to add more material or more complex functionality to it, which will result in a rise in the amount of processor or memory that is required. This may result in server faults on shared hosting, such as errors involving the internal server or errors with the service being unavailable. The performance of compute-intensive websites, on the other hand, is significantly improved by virtual private server hosting since these websites no longer have to compete with other websites for processing power. In addition, if you are ready to expand your business, you may use virtual private server hosting to migrate to a new virtual machine that has a higher processing capability.
Manage a greater volume of website traffic.
Cheap shared hosting could be a good option for you while you are just getting started, but as the amount of traffic on your website increases, the performance of your website might begin to suffer. The length of time it takes for pages to load and the number of times visitors have to wait could rise as your website expands and the number of visitors increases. On the other hand, if you use virtual private server (VPS) hosting, your website will perform better than if you use shared hosting because it is able to process a greater number of requests.
Applications can be customized.
An affordable VPS hosting provides greater control over the environment of your web server than shared hosting. This allows you to install software and customizations that are unique to your needs. It is also easier to integrate with other applications, such as customer relationship management or bookkeeping systems, when using virtual private server hosting. It is also possible to install firewalls and other individualized security measures on your system.

Thinking about trying to get AO3's source code running on my own server.
Just to see what's involved.
Though would love some direction on where to learn a bit about MySQL as it's a big part of getting it to work.

Storing images in mySql DB - explanation + Uploadthing example/tutorial
(Scroll down for an uploadthing with custom components tutorial)
My latest project is a photo editing web application (Next.js) so I needed to figure out how to best store images to my database. MySql databases cannot store files directly, though they can store them as blobs (binary large objects). Another way is to store images on a filesystem (e.g. Amazon S3) separate from your database, and then just store the URL path in your db.
Why didn't I choose to store images with blobs?
Well, I've seen a lot of discussions on the internet whether it is better to store images as blobs in your database, or to have them on a filesystem. In short, storing images as blobs is a good choice if you are storing small images and a smaller amount of images. It is safer than storing them in a separate filesystem since databases can be backed up more easily and since everything is in the same database, the integrity of the data is secured by the database itself (for example if you delete an image from a filesystem, your database will not know since it only holds a path of the image). But I ultimately chose uploading images on a filesystem because I wanted to store high quality images without worrying about performance or database constraints. MySql has a variety of constraints for data sizes which I would have to override and operations with blobs are harder/more costly for the database.
Was it hard to set up?
Apparently, hosting images on a separate filesystem is kinda complicated? Like with S3? Or so I've heard, never tried to do it myself XD BECAUSE RECENTLY ANOTHER EASIER SOLUTION FOR IT WAS PUBLISHED LOL. It's called uploadthing!!!
What is uploadthing and how to use it?
Uploadthing has it's own server API on which you (client) post your file. The file is then sent to S3 to get stored, and after it is stored S3 returns file's URL, which then goes trough uploadthing servers back to the client. After that you can store that URL to your own database.
Tumblr media
Here is the graph I vividly remember taking from uploadthing github about a month ago, but can't find on there now XD It's just a graphic version of my basic explanation above.
The setup is very easy, you can just follow the docs which are very straightforward and easy to follow, except for one detail. They show you how to set up uploadthing with uploadthing's own frontend components like <UploadButton>. Since I already made my own custom components, I needed to add a few more lines of code to implement it.
Uploadthing for custom components tutorial
1. Imports
You will need to add an additional import generateReactHelpers (so you can use uploadthing functions without uploadthing components) and call it as shown below
Tumblr media
2. For this example I wanted to save an edited image after clicking on the save button.
In this case, before calling the uploadthing API, I had to create a file and a blob (not to be confused with mySql blob) because it is actually an edited picture taken from canvas, not just an uploaded picture, therefore it's missing some info an uploaded image would usually have (name, format etc.). If you are storing an uploaded/already existing picture, this step is unnecessary. After uploading the file to uploadthing's API, I get it's returned URL and send it to my database.
Tumblr media
You can find the entire project here. It also has an example of uploading multiple files in pages/create.tsx
I'm still learning about backend so any advice would be appreciated. Writing about this actually reminded me of how much I'm interested in learning about backend optimization c: Also I hope the post is not too hard to follow, it was really hard to condense all of this information into one post ;_;

My Favorite Full Stack Tools and Technologies: Insights from a Developer
It was a seemingly ordinary morning when I first realized the true magic of full stack development. As I sipped my coffee, I stumbled upon a statistic that left me astounded: 97% of websites are built by full stack developers. That moment marked the beginning of my journey into the dynamic world of web development, where every line of code felt like a brushstroke on the canvas of the internet.
In this blog, I invite you to join me on a fascinating journey through the realm of full stack development. As a seasoned developer, I’ll share my favorite tools and technologies that have not only streamlined my workflow but also brought my creative ideas to life.
The Full Stack Developer’s Toolkit
Before we dive into the toolbox, let’s clarify what a full stack developer truly is. A full stack developer is someone who possesses the skills to work on both the front-end and back-end of web applications, bridging the gap between design and server functionality.
Tools and technologies are the lifeblood of a developer’s daily grind. They are the digital assistants that help us craft interactive websites, streamline processes, and solve complex problems.
Front-End Favorites
As any developer will tell you, HTML and CSS are the foundation of front-end development. HTML structures content, while CSS styles it. These languages, like the alphabet of the web, provide the basis for creating visually appealing and user-friendly interfaces.
JavaScript and Frameworks: JavaScript, often hailed as the “language of the web,” is my go-to for interactivity. The versatility of JavaScript and its ecosystem of libraries and frameworks, such as React and Vue.js, has been a game-changer in creating responsive and dynamic web applications.
Tumblr media
Back-End Essentials
The back-end is where the magic happens behind the scenes. I’ve found server-side languages like Python and Node.js to be my trusted companions. They empower me to build robust server applications, handle data, and manage server resources effectively.
Databases are the vaults where we store the treasure trove of data. My preference leans toward relational databases like MySQL and PostgreSQL, as well as NoSQL databases like MongoDB. The choice depends on the project’s requirements.
Development Environments
The right code editor can significantly boost productivity. Personally, I’ve grown fond of Visual Studio Code for its flexibility, extensive extensions, and seamless integration with various languages and frameworks.
Git is the hero of collaborative development. With Git and platforms like GitHub, tracking changes, collaborating with teams, and rolling back to previous versions have become smooth sailing.
Productivity and Automation
Automation is the secret sauce in a developer’s recipe for efficiency. Build tools like Webpack and task runners like Gulp automate repetitive tasks, optimize code, and enhance project organization.
Testing is the compass that keeps us on the right path. I rely on tools like Jest and Chrome DevTools for testing and debugging. These tools help uncover issues early in development and ensure a smooth user experience.
Frameworks and Libraries
Front-end frameworks like React and Angular have revolutionized web development. Their component-based architecture and powerful state management make building complex user interfaces a breeze.
Back-end frameworks, such as Express.js for Node.js and Django for Python, are my go-to choices. They provide a structured foundation for creating RESTful APIs and handling server-side logic efficiently.
Security and Performance
The internet can be a treacherous place, which is why security is paramount. Tools like OWASP ZAP and security best practices help fortify web applications against vulnerabilities and cyber threats.
Page load speed is critical for user satisfaction. Tools and techniques like Lighthouse and performance audits ensure that websites are optimized for quick loading and smooth navigation.
Project Management and Collaboration
Collaboration and organization are keys to successful projects. Tools like Trello, JIRA, and Asana help manage tasks, track progress, and foster team collaboration.
Tumblr media
Clear communication is the glue that holds development teams together. Platforms like Slack and Microsoft Teams facilitate real-time discussions, file sharing, and quick problem-solving.
Personal Experiences and Insights
It’s one thing to appreciate these tools in theory, but it’s their application in real projects that truly showcases their worth. I’ve witnessed how this toolkit has brought complex web applications to life, from e-commerce platforms to data-driven dashboards.
The journey hasn’t been without its challenges. Whether it’s tackling tricky bugs or optimizing for mobile performance, my favorite tools have always been my partners in overcoming obstacles.
Continuous Learning and Adaptation
Web development is a constantly evolving field. New tools, languages, and frameworks emerge regularly. As developers, we must embrace the ever-changing landscape and be open to learning new technologies.
Fortunately, the web development community is incredibly supportive. Platforms like Stack Overflow, GitHub, and developer forums offer a wealth of resources for learning, troubleshooting, and staying updated. The ACTE Institute offers numerous Full stack developer courses, bootcamps, and communities that can provide you with the necessary resources and support to succeed in this field. Best of luck on your exciting journey!
In this blog, we’ve embarked on a journey through the world of full stack development, exploring the tools and technologies that have become my trusted companions. From HTML and CSS to JavaScript frameworks, server-side languages, and an array of productivity tools, these elements have shaped my career.
As a full stack developer, I’ve discovered that the right tools and technologies can turn challenges into opportunities and transform creative ideas into functional websites and applications. The world of web development continues to evolve, and I eagerly anticipate the exciting innovations and discoveries that lie ahead. My hope is that this exploration of my favorite tools and technologies inspires fellow developers on their own journeys and fuels their passion for the ever-evolving world of web development.

Okay so you said you had a website for the extended extended zodiac for Returned: Null. I have a question:
How do you make a website? Is it free? What program? How much coding is involved? Just any tips that’ll help and also how much knowledge of coding do you need to know to make one?
Thanks! :)
If i said i had one that was a miscommunication i am *working* on one lol
there are a lot of ways you can do it, but i will answer with how specifically I am going about it, and then mention in places other things that differ.
So, because I am wanting to make the website look and function very similar to the official Extended Zodiac site (both because i think it would be neat to make it look as close to official as possible, and the fact that the official Extended Zodiac site is giving security errors is concerning me a lil, I'm not sure if that's a new thing or if I am just now noticing it, but Viz doesn't seem particularly concerned with HS, and with everything that happened with HS^2 et all, im just a non-zero amount concerned that the site might go down, so rolling it into my thing wouldn't be the worst) I decided to build the website using a LEMP stack.
So I'm using Linode to host a virtual server, and on that server I am running Linux, and I have set up some programs to let that server talk to computers that connect to the domain and stuff. This is usually how I set up websites, and it is not at all free. there are free options for sure, but i am just used to doing it this way, and if i have to do work, then i am going to spend the money in a way where i have as much control as i want over the sites I make.
So, there's not really a *program* per se. I'm not using like Wordpress or something. The gameplan is going to be:
Use Linux as an operating system to host everying (Ubuntu 22.04LTS specifically(that's the L))
Use NGINX so that when a computer requests "returnednull.com/whateveriputhere" it can see what I want it to see (that's the E(don't ask me why it's E(i do not know(FAC here, NGINX is pronounce ENGINE-X because computer programers are cringe and terrible sometimes so it's e because engine you're welcome))))
Use MariaDB as a way to use MySQL to host the information for the signs so that i can make the pages only be like, a handful of pages instead of having to make like 600 pages because there's just *so many* signs i really can't explain how many signs this is now
And then make a site using HTML and CSS and JS and PHP to basically build a quiz and those truesign pages and effectively do my best to replicate everything while also adding the new things I need to and justt making everything work good and stuff :3
so yeah, like for this thing there's just *so much* stuff i have to do, and there is a bunch of coding because the project is extremely specific and i have specific things I need to do.
Now! as for like, more general things:
there is free hosting for making websites, you can always just do something like neocities: https://neocities.org/
there are also zero-code options for making websites, like wordpress: https://wordpress.com
like at the end of the day, it really just depends on what you want to do, and how you want to go about doing it!
if you got any more questions feel free to ask tho :0
