Building a Linux system from scratch means writing your own GRUB entry, which means picking how the kernel finds its root filesystem. The obvious choice, root=UUID=<filesystem-uuid>, is what nearly every guide on the internet uses. It's also exactly wrong for a kernel with no initramfs, and the panic it produces looks like a completely different bug.
This VPS runs three sites. Two of them — this one and carmen-crm.net — each have three nginx config files in sites-enabled. The third, fasterwebsites.net, has six.
The first version of this site's llms.txt got the idea wrong by copying a more familiar, adjacent format — robots.txt syntax, in a file whose whole point was supposed to be prose. That mistake lived for ten minutes before a second commit fixed it.
A Google Alert on "emacs" surfaced a Reddit post this week titled, in full: "After snap updated version 31.1 without asking me I get function undefined error for many of..." — cut off at the title, the body unread, but the title alone is the whole story.
The daily trend in both Search Console exports covers August 8 through September 4. Average position sits between 14 and 20 for almost the entire window — the single worst day is 23.4, on August 29, of all days. Then September 1 through 4 comes in at 7.8, 7.8, 9.4, and 8.4. The average position roughly halved in four days.
The September 6 Search Console export splits the last 28 days by device. Desktop: 60 clicks, 4,026 impressions, 1.49% CTR, average position 15.34. Mobile: 19 clicks, 487 impressions, 3.9% CTR, average position 11.14. Mobile beats desktop on both position and CTR, on roughly an eighth of the impression volume. I spent a chunk of one session two weeks ago chasing mobile performance specifically.
On August 29 I pulled a Search Console export and found 30 pages on this site indexed twice. Every one of them had a working clean URL and a second copy at /index.php/ plus the same path, splitting impressions between the two as if they were different pages. I wrote a fix the same morning. This is what a week of real data since then shows, not what I assumed it would show.
On August 11, Anthropic started adding a machine-readable watermark to Claude's text output, everywhere, not just for EU users. It's compliance with Article 50(2) of the EU AI Act, which requires providers of synthetic content to mark it as machine-generated, and Anthropic signed the EU's Voluntary Code of Practice covering exactly this.
A single line of JavaScript in this site's theme called a jQuery plugin that was never actually loaded, on every single page view, for just over ten months. Nobody was looking for it. It got deleted as a side effect of someone else's unrelated fix.
This site has two separate mechanisms for loading Google Tag Manager. One of them has never fired a single tag. The other was added by a tool that had no way of knowing the first one existed.
