Update for the week ending on Friday, Jun 13, 2025

mtlynch.io

Published “A Simple Example of Calling an Elixir Library from Gleam”
- And updated it with feedback from Gleam’s creator
Changed my Hugo image shortcodes so that images have borders by default
Updated to Hugo 0.147.5

Converted “Plan a Path to Your Readers” to PDF
- I originally published it with Hugo as a web sample chapter, and it’s surprisingly difficult to convert from Hugo to Asciidoc
Wrote automation for helping manage live events
- Part of the friction discouraging me from creating them was all the hassle of creating event links and ical files manually, so I used an LLM to automate most of this.
Tried to get Jitsi Meet running on my Oracle cloud VM
- I could run it fine, but the default is just that it’s totally open and anyone can create video calls on my server
- I tried working with an LLM to enable authentication, but it kept going in circles on broken solutions
