I’ve set up this site to deploy with Kamal. Hit a snag with HTTP headers not being correctly passed through somewhere between Nginx, Traefik and Puma, which I solved by upgrading to the Rails 7.1 release candidate and enabling config.assume_ssl.

Added tags to this site for microposts, which should make tracking things a bit better. In the process discovered you can’t do polymorphic associations with has_and_belongs_to_many, which seems like a missing feature.
Tags:
Added Solid Cache to this site. Completely and utterly unnecessary, but this is my Rails playground 😁
Tags:
Added the new default /up healthcheck endpoint to this site, and removed the healthcheck from the Kamal config so it can default to using that.
Tags:
Added a helper script to a project that uses RSpec to replicate the default behaviour of Rails segregation of system tests and get faster feedback more easily.

Was curious if Rails supports database-generated columns: turns out, yes, as of Rails 7:
create_table :users do |t| t.numeric :height_cm t.virtual :height_in, type: :numeric, as: 'height_cm / 2.54', stored: true end

This looks like it might be helpful when debugging sometimes
Post.attributes_for_inspect = [:id, :title] Post.first.inspect #=> "#<Post id: 1, title: "Hello, World!">"

Wrote one very small Redmine plugin (to copy some data to the clipboard in a particular format for export) and have just started another, much bigger one, to manage jobs (in terms of blocks of time sold to clients for budget management).
Tags:
Added a private section to this site to track my health and try and find some patterns in what causes my CFS flareups. Currently it's just some CRUD stuff, but I plan to build this out to have some pointlessly flashy graphs &c.

Watched the Rails World talk on deploying Active Record Encryption at GitHub.

Set up virus scanning on Active storage attachments with Clamby. Might be worth a quick blog post or PR to their docs as there were a couple of gotchas.
Tags:
Opened my first Rails PR (to add some documentation). Hopefully it gets merged.

Discovered that Active Storage variants by default will strip the animation from any GIF.
The solution is to pass loader: { page: nil } to variant, and also to preprocess the image with a call to convert --coalesce.

Watched Peter Zhu’s talk at Rails World 2023—should give this autotuner thing a play.

Learned a few useful things from Chris Oliver's Rails World talk:
- ActionText Embeds allow for embedding Rails models in a Trix input - might play with that here.
- rails routes --unused
