The sea is being polluted

Image
By
It is 435am. I fell asleep without bathing and without brushing my teeth. This happens sometimes. Today is Friday. I love Fridays. I was born on a Friday. Fridays are the de facto end of the week. We made it through another week. Life did not get the better of us. We live to fight another week. Today's wisdom, "The river does not rush, yet it reaches the sea." of unknown origin. Sometimes I feel like a river. A river full of potential. A river that is carrying purpose. A river with meaning. A river that can make a difference. I am going with the flow, steady, resilient, alive.

What does the sea have? Where am I going? To me the sea represents wisdom and knowledge and experience and exploration. It is funny that we gain all these things in the end when they would have benefitted us the most in the beginning. It just goes to show that these things were not meant only for us but to be shared with others. To share with others on a similar path. To pass from one generation to another. This reminds me of this quote, "A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they shall never sit."

How much of the wisdom, knowledge and experience of the older generation are we capturing and passing on to the next generation. Where are the writings and the books? The news is filled with political mockery and distractions. We are being bombarded by shenanigans. Rather than opportunities for enlightenment. The sea is being polluted. Time to clean up. All our collective experience, wisdom and knowledge must count for something. Has capitalism ruined us? Has politics ruined us? Where do we go from here?

Hobby project - Store and view exchange rates

By
The next step in my project was to test out being able store and display the rates in a database. I decided to use nodejs and supabase for this. Everything worked beautifully. Only hickup was the following error due to my package.json not being correct. SyntaxError: Cannot use import statement outside a module Added this to package.json   "type": "module" This works beautifully. Right now I am just testing fragments of what could be part of a bigger system to see what is possible and what works and how easy to code on a mobile. There is no fully functioning integrated end to end system just yet. This is also what I tested. A serverless append-only database using GitHub + Actions + Pages. That’s basically a lightweight backend system. This was the ChatGPT prompt I used. Guide me through each step. This is what I want. A manually run github actions that adds to docs/data.json with the current date and time. docs/index.html displays all the entries in data.json. Make s...

Running php and apache on termux

By
This was my experience getting php and apache to run on termux apt update && apt upgrade -y apt install php-apache I was following an old blog post that used php 7 and got these errors Can't locate API module structure `php7_module' in file /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so: undefined symbol: php7_module Cannot load /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp7.so Corrected in apache config file vim $PREFIX/etc/apache2/httpd.conf LoadModule php_module /data/data/com.termux/files/usr/libexec/apache2/libphp.so Apache is running a threaded MPM, but your PHP Module is not compiled to be threadsafe.  You need to recompile PHP. Comment out mpm_worker and use mpm_prefork #LoadModule mpm_worker_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_worker.so LoadModule mpm_prefork_module libexec/apache2/mod_mpm_prefork.so This still does not work as apache (httpd) was failing silently. According to Chatty LoadModule php_module ...libphp.so often fails in Termux becau...
