Personal

Both parents can and should pass their own ideas and not a single idealogy.

Both parents need not have the same style of parenting , or need to pass same / differing ideas.
A happy household is more important than a home with a doctrine.
A kid listening to opposing views is more likely to think for himself and pick and choose the idea depending on the situation.



The truest sign of intelligence is the ability to entertain two contradictory ideas simultaneously.

How to learn OAuth

  1. Learn basic of OAuth https://authjs.dev/concepts/oauth
  2. Publish a series of blog posts about how OAuth works.
  3. Learn basics of Auth Js and implement it in a static page with a netlify route locally. ( A project similar to tina-cloud-starter-self-hosted-netlify-functions )
    Two popular libraries to support OAuth are simple-oauth2 and Auth.js First try with simple-oauth2 , the example project below can be modified to be used with a different oAuth provider. https://github.com/netlify-labs/intercom-netlify-oauth/blob/master/package.js
    I have cloned this project and also created Google Oauth client and secret. Present in my personal code folder. We might need to update this project to use netlify cli instead of netlify lambda.
  4. Then try with express auth example. The benefit with auth-express (Auth.js) is that it also implements email-confirmation and magic link etc. https://github.com/nextauthjs/express-auth-example/tree/main We were not able to do the google login, maybe the client id was removed in google. Guide to deploy express app on netlify https://docs.netlify.com/frameworks/express/
  5. How to repurpose the express auth example for our blog.

    It should be easy to setup login , the tricky part is rendering ā€œpersonal pagesā€ only to authenticated users.
    Check this chat with chatgpt : https://chat.openai.com/c/e6038eb2-e255-4b63-9970-35db4fa984ee
    Also check this: https://www.netlify.com/blog/2021/08/12/how-to-include-files-in-netlify-serverless-functions/
    Steps:

    1. Add authors as a collection , AuthorName , description.etc.
    2. Update the personal page in jekyll , so that it always refers to author.
    3. Make sure , the website is working ( including links and page generation for each author (/user ) )
    4. Read the blog and chat to render the personal pages through express app.

    Here is how an hmac link/digest can be generated based on input email

Feeling a big itch

Today i am feeling an itch to do something.
Its not a full blown anxiety attack , but i am feeling like i need to do something. Just not sure what.
I am looking around everywhere trying to figure out what i want to do.

I looked at PAGES CMS , Netlify login and everything else. I have a full time job , i havenā€™t worked on today since morning. I looked at stock portfolio. Its growing , but it is still not making me content.

I also thought about collaborating with the founder of pages cms.
I think all i need to do is believe in my idea and work on it.
People work on stupid ideas , and a lot of them dont even amount to much , they still work on it.

What i need to do is:

Connecting with Rashmi

It doesnā€™t matter if Rashmi current situation is because of the stress of life here .. or because I wasnā€™t able to be supportive and connect on a deeper level because of avoidant personality, or because of her past. what needs to be done is :
1) I need to be there for her: Connect with her on a deeper level. ( I had this issue before , remember getting mad at Namita , or not having a girlfriend ever, or not having close friends , except bhaskar.)
2) It is possible for me to get closer to someone. ( think of bhaskar )
3) Give Rashmi the oppurtunity to be more social , without asking her to make friends )
4) Help her with kitchen , every day without fail.
5) Imagine the home of a drug addict. Even if our home is like that: Dont feel bad. It might be hard for me to fix it , but i can do atleast some of it with some effort.

Special day

today was a special day, i saw the human frailty of my papa, he said i am sorry even though it was tough for him. He said ā€œ i am always welcome to come and live with him in mumbaiā€. He said its ok , just dont repeat it, when i said hurtful words more than once. It was clear he wanted love from me and i will give him.

Good that he did not join

While he likes to do things his way and finish to perfection, he is not someone you can point the small things/ improvements. He would ignore them.

Focus entirely on Action not results.

The unhappiest people i met are the ones who are extremely ambitious, but lazy AF. They really love the outcome but hate the work, They love the results but hate the journey. They could do something amazing , but choose to give up.

Welcome to Jekyll!

Youā€™ll find this post in your _posts directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run jekyll serve, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.
