Locally, I run a Pi-Hole to provide ad blocking on the local network¹ but I also run a Docker server to which I want to forward various subdomains (which are then routed to containers using Træfik). I had this set up, but my upgrade from v5 to v6 of Pi-Hole blew this away (as I needed a new SD card for the Raspberry Pi it was running on) (see also the v6 release notes).

My server running Docker seems forever to be low on space. So I finally got annoyed at it enough to figure out what was going on and try and fix it.

Spurred by another superficial review of Paris’ push for bicycle lanes¹, I decided to write out why I think so many of these takes are overly superficial, and thus fail to provide useful lessons when applied to other cities.

First, by way of background, I feel like I have rather unique vantage point of being trained in Transportation Planning (in Civil Engineering), paired with having lived and studied in all three of France, Canada, and the United States. On one hand, my schooling was in Utah, one of the few places in the US where they are still building urban freeways²; on the other, I spent three years in France (including 8 months in metro Paris) relying almost exclusively on public transit. In a word, I’ve lived and commuted in both.

I recently returned from a trip to France I thought I could write some observations on the contrast between French¹ and Canadian² urban forms.

This is the collection of my thoughts about the proposed/in-progress Alberta Passenger Rail Master Plan.

I recently had a roadtrip¹ that allowed me to listen to Sea of Tranquility by Emily St John Mandel. Overall, it was a delightful, light read. The audiobook came in at just under 6 hours.
