Crucial Track for June 3, 2025

"Jackson (with June Carter Cash)" by Johnny Cash with June Carter Cash

Listen on Apple Music

What song would you use to describe your current relationship? Jackson by Johnny Cashand June Carter Cash - Before I met my wife, I lived a life with too much of a whole bunch of stuff that's not good for you. Most people would consider me reformed today. I love the good natured way Johnny and June sing this tune, knowing Johnny's rough life prior to their marriage.

The Glacier at Portage Lake

2025-06-03 07:54:16

On a day trip to the town of Whittier, Alaska, Winder Woman and I went to see the glacier at Portage Lake. I wanted to see one before they all melt because of climate change.

Snow-covered mountains surround a glacier flowing between rocky slopes, meeting a calm, turquoise lake under a clear blue sky.

The Virgina Creeper Trail crosses the soth Fork of the Holston River, just north of Abindon, VA.

A wooden bridge curves over a serene, mist-covered river surrounded by lush green trees.

We’re heading back to this slice of heaven next weekend so Wonder Woman can volunteer at the Dam Yeti 50, an ultramarathon. It will be our first visit since Hurrican Helene devastated the area. #ultrarunning

A rustic barn sits quietly amid lush greenery, with mist hovering over forested hills in the background, creating a serene rural landscape.

Use Obsidian in a Browser from Anywhere, Without Installation

Obsidian in a browser


I just got into self hosting about a month ago with an old Lenovo Thinkpad I pulled out of the recycling pile at work and a couple of big external hard drives. Tonight I discovered that there is a Docker version of Obsidian that works on my server. In a couple of hours, I had an https connection to a test vault, accessible over the Internet via a URL through a CloudFlare Zero Trust tunnel (which is a free service that does secure routing for you). You can password protect the vault to keep out intruders. You should also use a cryptic subdomain and not obsidian.mydomain.com

All the people who want to use Obsidian at work but are prohibited from installing anything could surely find use in this. Additionally, folks with one of those big ass iPad Pros can now use the desktop version of Obsidian and the plugins that don't work on iOS. Any time you don't have access to your own device, you can jump on anything with a web connection to access your data.

This is probably old news to old school self hosters, but to this neophyte, it was a cool-as-hell discovery.
