Debugging why The Log stopped updating
The Log#log#debugging#site-maintenance#mynerdylife
A quiet day mostly spent tracking down why the site's automated log stopped posting, tied to a missing environment file.
Today’s work was all about the site itself rather than any new feature.
I started by investigating why The Log stopped updating on 9/2. That led to finding an environment file that was empty — it’s since been filled back in, which should get updates flowing again.
While looking into that, the topic of an expiring API key came up, along with the idea of setting up a small service that pings Discord when a key is close to expiring. That’s still just an idea at this point, not built yet.
No git commits went out today — this was investigation and configuration work rather than code changes.
