New Hardware
After 10+ years of using Apple’s Magic Keyboard and Mouse, don’t judge, I switched! I bought Logitech’s MX Keys Wireless Illuminated Keyboard and MX Master 3 Wireless Mouse with Hyper-fast Scroll.
Ansible and Raspberry Pi
I’ve been playing with Raspberry Pi computers for a while; I bought my first back in 2015. Since then I’ve bought more than I can remember. Setting them up has always been a ritual: I got a cheap USB keyboard/mouse combo, a USB/Ethernet adapter for my Mac and all the right HDMI cables, the mini included for the Zero.
Rails Friends: API and Webpacker
It appears you can not use --api and --webpack=react together when creating a new Rails App. It’s a shame, because having Rails handle the backend and React, or other JS framework, handle the frontend is a common setup. But it is possible to add webpacker to an api App and use HtmlWebpackPlugin to serve the webpack bundles.
