Longer writing and experiments worth more than a log line.
- The Walker Hub Project! Mobile edition!
Sep 11, 2026 · Update
This is just a quick overview of how I feel about this project. Specially I’m on mobile as of now running on IOS via the, “app” functionality.

- A desk for the box

I gave the homelab machine its own small operator console so the website and Hub don’t have to pretend they run the server.

- Hub Guide and What’s new
Aug 10, 2026
Members get short how-to chapters with deep links, plus a light patch-notes page — so “how do I…?” and “what changed?” have a home.

- Quick share, paste uploads, and DM attach
Aug 10, 2026
Hub Library can mint copyable share URLs on upload, accept clipboard screenshots, and attach media into a DM as a ready share link.

- Inside the Hub — what it is, and the features that make it feel finished
Aug 10, 2026
A full tour of WalkerJacob Hub: private library, easy share links, paste-to-upload, DM media, profiles, Guide, mail, Edits, and why it is not another open community.

- Hub Edits — crew notes on the cut, not another chat app
Aug 9, 2026
Adobe-side review lives in Hub now: status, timeline, timecoded notes, and a small crew on the linked Drop or Media cut.

- Stack photos into the shoot, and make big VODs actually play
Aug 9, 2026
Library stacks finally accept “add this picture later,” bulk merge works, and large video Play no longer dies mid-stream.

- Admin polish — roles you can read, invites that mean something
Aug 9, 2026
Settings and Users got less scroll-hostile; invite links can mint any assignable role; Hub Alerts can ping the desktop if you want.

- A quiet members space (not another open community)
Aug 9, 2026
If you’re looking for a small private place for friends — files, photos, people — Hub is the option on this site. Invite or request access.

- Cerb grows rooms: multi-user auth, quotas, and disk drops
Aug 8, 2026
I turned a single-operator CMS into something friends can log into — sessions, visibility, and per-user storage that doesn’t pretend to be infinite.

- Gated access on purpose: requests, Turnstile, one-time signup
Aug 8, 2026
How friends get into my Hub without open registration — request a seat (or use an invite), prove you’re not a bot, redeem a one-time signup link.

- Media compositions: cards, players, and a browse-first library
Aug 8, 2026
Drops were files. I built compositions so friends can watch, comment, and find clips again — without turning the library into a create form.

- Share links that expire (and do not live in your URL bar forever)
Aug 8, 2026
I wanted a way to hand someone a drop without minting an account — capped downloads, expiry, and tokens that don’t stick in browser history.

- Closing the LAN ports (without breaking the tunnel)
Aug 8, 2026
I put the Cloudflare Tunnel on the Compose network, bound Cerb to loopback, and turned ufw on — then learned the hard way that 127.0.0.1 inside Docker is the wrong localhost.

- Hub is not Admin
Aug 8, 2026
I split the member library onto /hub/* so friends never feel like they walked into the control room. Staff CMS stays on /admin-ui/*.

- People, quiet DMs, and standing without the social network cosplay
Aug 8, 2026
I added profiles, a People directory, quiet inbox DMs with an opt-out, and optional standing stats — still not a social network.

- Parking side quests: Ollama, 0x0, and AI import
Aug 8, 2026
I parked Ollama, flipped AI import off, and I’m retiring the old 0x0 file host in favor of Hub Drops and Walks.

- Share links without a memory for the secret
Aug 8, 2026
I stopped keeping drop share tokens in the database. You see the URL once when you create it; SQLite only keeps a hash.

Currently, I am downloading the Retail version of WoW; even bought the midnight expansion!
