A yellow "Couldn't start for Cowork and Code sessions" pop-up sent me through a night of log reading. The real culprit was memory pressure, not SQLcl. Along the way I found Unsloth Studio listening on my whole network, and locked it down.
Phase 3 of my Quartz notes site: I deleted six workflows that never ran, wrote a hardened GitHub Pages deploy with pinned actions, verified my domain against subdomain takeover, found a wildcard DNS record, and proved the privacy filter works on the live site.
Phase 2 of my Quartz notes site: I reviewed every setting, turned on opt-in publishing, proved private notes stay private with a test note and grep, found my email already exposed in old GitHub commits, and pushed a clean first commit — mistakes included.
I'm building a public notes site at notes.ny2honolulu.com with Quartz 5 and Obsidian. Phase 1 covers the local build: a public repo, an opt-in privacy plan, triaging six "high" npm vulnerabilities, and a port conflict — including the mistakes.
A kernel update left my Omarchy laptop waiting 90 seconds on every boot for a TPM that would never answer. I traced it through systemd's critical chain, fixed it with one kernel parameter, and cut userspace boot from 1m38s to 5.3s. Then I set up Claude Code to explain every command before it runs, so I stop copying commands I don't understand and start learning Black Hat Python the right way.
