Using MarsEdit with DigitalOcean One-Click Wordpress Installs
by JamesMy website has recently come full circle back to Wordpress. Itโs been a number of years since Iโve used Wordpress. The last time was probably in college on the cheapest shared host I could find. I avoided coming back to Wordpress because I didnโt want to maintain a server; I fiddle enough with them at work. Already being a Digital Ocean customer, the 1-Click setup/hardened server seemed like the best way to go.ย
I quickly got it configured with all of the IndieWeb plugins to facilitate back-feeding content that I create on other platforms onto my website. The final step starting to use MarsEdit, my old favorite blog editor. Except it couldnโt connect to my website.
Turns out the reason is that the majority of Wordpress security issues stem from bots abusing the xmlrpc api and the digital ocean install blocks it at a low level by default. Disabling this block on the server allows programs to use the xmlrpc api and hence MarsEdit to work. Execute the following commands to disable the xmlrpc block.
sudo a2disconf block-xmlrpc
sudo systemctl reload apache2 -

Thinking about the Nissan Leaf
by JamesI'm thinking of buying a (used) Nissan Leaf to drive around town and have been collecting some facts and figures to see how it compares with other cars here in Japan. I'm leaning heavily towards the leaf for three reasons: it's cheaper to own/operate, no stopping for gas stations (can charge at home), and I don't want pump out CO2 (and think about it) every time I drive.
The data below was written with Emacs Orgmode (using it's fantastic spreadsheet capabilities). As I update my local orgfile, I will also update this page as well and make a small announcement on the blog.

Windows 7 reached its EOL the other day. I think I managed to use it...twice?

Planning to buy a car soon (probably an EV). Using Org mode to collect my research and the inline spreadsheet mode makes it suuper easy to make tables with formulas in the appropriate cell all with plain text.
