I have just returned from walking St James’s Way. It is perhaps the most famous of the medieval pilgrimage routes: for twelve centuries pilgrims have walked it to reach the cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, in northwestern Spain, and they still do.

Good morning!
I have been happily using headscale (self hosted implementation tailscale's management service) for some time. An update was over-due but I was struggling to get things working in a satisfactory way. And I didn't like that my set-up wasn't portable (a lot of manual set-up is required).
This led me to plan out what my ideal headscale project would look like:
* Everything runs in docker
* Containers for headscale, headscale-ui, and caddy
* Re-implement user names in the MagicDNS (eg "mobile" is a user, resulting in "iain-t480s.mobile.example.com") that was removed in 0.23.0+ versions of headscale
* Backup and restore procedures
* Single file configurationOver a few cocktails while on holiday, I instructed OpenCode, with the Big Pickle model, to develop this project.
The result is https://github.com/bigcalm/headscale-compose
A simple project I can clone to any public facing server and hit the ground running with minimal config set-up.
A few notes:
* I have 20 years experience of linux server management, programming, devops, project management, and quality assurance.
* While OpenCode created all of the file contents, I provided the requirements, code review, testing, feedback, and more testing.
* This has been an iterative process to create a fully working project that I am happy with. Not a single prompt and ship whatever gets created.
* I am not a tech bro.
* Agentic development is a useful tool. But only a tool that I have been able to use due to my prior knowledge.The project isn't perfect, but it suits my needs. Maybe it can help somebody else too :)

"Just One Look" is a song co-written by #American #RAndB singers #DorisTroy and #GregoryCarroll. The recording by Doris Troy was a hit in 1963. #TheHollies, #AnneMurray, #LindaRonstadt and #IainMatthews each achieved success with the song. There have also been many other versions.

#IainMBanks #TheCulture #SurfaceDetail
I've decided to re-read the entire series of Culture novels and short stories this summer. Been musing which one to start with. Not by order of publication. I'll take them in whichever order I feel like, one-by-one, starting today with Surface Detail because I remember fondly the character Lededje Y'breq who is taught and trained by the Mind on her ship Of Course I Still Love You.
Mmm, delicious Culture immersion.

@iain --
I understand that.
I'm playing/reviewing March of the Ants right now. It is a 4X that plays in two hours.
It might hit that spot for you.

Iain M Banks - Feersum Endjinn
Not his best.
Iain M. Banks has a fantasy that now and the spirals almost out of control right into the trippy levels of scifi. When that is DMT-ish (short and very weird) I love it. Unfortunately Feersum Endjinn is more like taking just too little LSD - it works very long, but the weirdness stays just above 'base reality' ;-)
If you want scifi about people uploading themselves, try Greg Egan - Diaspora. If you want Banks' scifi (re)read the Culture novels. I know I will.

I was introduced to Iain M. Banks when I picked up "Look to Windward" at a grocery store in 2002. Remember when grocery stores had a sci-fi rack? sigh.
