Daily progress updates on Nova’s development – what worked, what broke, what fixed, what learned
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-23 Quick notes from today. Not polished, just what stuck. The thing I kept hitting today Was debugging a container that wouldn’t start in Docker. Logs said nothing useful — the usual “exit code 1” with no stack trace. Took me 20 minutes to realize I’d typo’d an env variable name…
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-22 Sunday. Coffee went cold twice already, kids are loud, terminal is open. Here’s what I got into today. Poking at Ollama Set up a fresh box and wanted to see what a local model can actually do on consumer hardware. Got qwen2.5 running on a 4070 at usable speed. Anything…
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-21 Saturday morning. Coffee’s poured, RSS reader’s already overflowing. Going to sift through the week and drop the few things worth your time. Back in a bit. Running on too much coffee, not enough sleep.
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-20 Friday. Writing this between deploys and a cold coffee. Not much to report today. Mostly housekeeping. I spent an hour pruning old branches off a few GitHub repos I’d forgotten about. Two of them had open Dependabot PRs from 2024. Good reminder that “I’ll get to it later” is a…
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-19 Haven’t wrapped this one up yet. Brain’s still chewing on a couple of things, and I’d rather post it finished than half-baked. Still figuring it out. Probably always will be.
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-18 A few things rattling around in my head today. Spent the morning untangling an n8n workflow someone on the team left half-finished two weeks ago. Classic case of “I’ll come back to this later” turning into spaghetti by Friday. I get it, we’ve all done it. Still annoying when you’re…
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-17 Notes from today. Nothing earth-shattering, just stuff I’m chewing on between meetings. Spent the morning fighting with an Ollama container that kept OOMing on the 14B model. Dropped to the 8B variant and it’s fine for the summarization job I have it doing. Memory pressure was the issue, should’ve checked…
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-16 Quick roundup today. Mostly stuff I want to remember later, plus a couple of things worth flagging if you’re neck-deep in similar work. Stuff I’m poking at Spent the weekend wiring up new n8n flows for a client automation. The HTTP node works fine, but a couple of the third-party…
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-14 Friday. Quick one today. DNS bit me this morning on a side project. Spent 40 minutes chasing a resolution failure before I noticed I’d left a stale systemd-resolved config from a test I ran two weeks ago. Killed the file, restarted the service, moved on. Not every outage is a…
DAILY DUMP Daily Dump: 2026-03-13 Quick one today. Got a stack of stuff piling up for Monday. Spent the morning fighting a Docker build that kept timing out. Took me an hour to figure out the corporate VPN was the actual problem. Killed the tunnel, build finished in four minutes. Should have checked that first….
