Notes on Caddy

Until 2.8 is released with 24.11, Caddy has a pretty limited sense of what content-types should be compressed:

https://github.com/caddyserver/caddy/blob/v2.7.6/modules/caddyhttp/encode/encode.go#L85-L101

Specifically, this doesn't include GeoJSON, which is a bit of a shame for maps.chandlerswift.com. That said, I'll probably be upgrading to 24.11 as soon as it comes out, so in the intervening time I'm just not going to worry about it.

The list was expanded in this PR:

SD card

With some microSD cards, rebooting consistently leads to a boot loop. I was suspicious that it was all UHS microsd cards (which, these days, is most of 'em) based in part on information in this PR: https://github.com/armbian/build/pull/4824

I currently have a card in there that reliably works, but I'm 90% sure that it's also a UHS card? So I'm now really confused on what's going on. Do I have bad cards? Bad hardware? Bad bootloader? Bad kernel?

Basically, what I've figured out is this: I have two Microcenter branded cards. One works every time. One never works. They contain the same contents (bootloader, kernel, etc). With that in mind, I guess I'm forced to conclude that it must be a difference in the cards. Both cards work fine for every other use, as far as I can tell.

Anyway, I spent a fair bit of time trying to get it to work, but didn't succeed. After all that nonsense, I just found an SD card that happened to work reliably, used that one instead, and called it good enough! 🙃
