My new spirit emoji: 🫩

Some research results coming in. Source: me.

I am searching for strategies to reduce the complexity of #AI generated #code. And all articles just suggest to do better reviews. What?

I actually strive for perfect clarity with my color theme pickers. codepen.io/editor/chris...

So, now that #Trakt is going further downhill, I decided to move to Scrob. Setup took 20 min, imported everything from Trakt (export your data now, before they make it VIP-only!). Working like a charm, even with Jellyfin. Highly recommend! 🤩 github.com/ellite/scrob

It's just incredibly hostile behavior what the team of #Trakt is doing. Deleted my API application that I was using for over a year. Disabled the OneDrive export of my data. All without a single notification. Whoever is in charge there: fuck you. I delete my account.

Maintaining critical software now comes with a security burden that has outgrown what any volunteer can reasonably carry. That's why we're upgrading our open source program from the Team plan to the Business plan, full protection for maintainers at no cost. socket.dev/blog/free-bu...

Happy #worldCatDay everyone. May your lovely fur ball live long and prosper. 🐱

I'm tired. Not retired.

I absolutely adore the new design of the @cloudflare.social dashboard. Those 3D-ish buttons have neat Web 2.0 vibes. 😍

In some parallel universe, we have all agreed on 2026-08-06 being the one and only date format. Sadly we are in this universe, where Lucidchart shows the confusing US format despite having all locale options set to German. 🙄

Don't be a meat proxy for whatever an #LLM model produces. Please. gruhn.me/blog/2026-08... #ai #aicoding

TIL there are fiber optics HDMI cables. Yes you read that right, fiber optics HDMI cables.

I thought about moving to #Codeberg a few times already, even donated to support their cause. But I find it deeply worrying that a platform dedicated to free software now starts to dictate which software is allowed. Feels like some neckbeard AI-haters turned Codeberg into a weapon.

I have to share this website, had sooo much fun with it! Felt like a little child! 😭🤣 clipart.studio The gallery is GOLD! #indieweb #internet #websites #bestwebsites

Recently moved from the Action Runners provided by #GitHub to custom ones ordered by Avrea. Saw an amazing reduction of runtimes: PHP tests down 50% Docker build down 70% 🤩 You should try that too, first 3000 min are free: avrea.com

I anyone else who's using Paddle for payments, receiving marketing #spam from #Stripe telling that Paddle is bad and one should switch to Stripe? 6 mails in the past weeks, even after opt-out, even after personal feedback to the sales guy. That's not okay.

⚡️ LinkAce 2.6 is not available This is a HUGE release with an overhauled search system, new translations and many small bugfixes and improvements. 🚀 🤩 Read more: github.com/Kovah/LinkAc...

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

I'm porting Quake to 3D CSS, so it runs in the browser without WebGL. It's open source 👹 Play it! cssquake.com Repo: github.com/LayoutitStud...

Is anyone else working with #Codex 5.5 and noticed that this model loves to make everything as complex as possible? Like why put the solution into a 20 line function when you can get 20 functions instead, each filled to the brim with complicated code?! 😐 #aihorror #aicoding

People praise the newest models like #Codex 5.5, yet I encounter many significant logic holes in what they produce. And it's tedious to explain all the context to a bot that forgets it three prompts later. #AI is not the answer to most of the problems we have today, not even that of limited time.

"The internet is dead! 😵" I can't hear this anymore. That's why I wrote a blog article about that. Because the #internet is not dead! blog.woblick.dev/en/2026/the-...

Could we all please stop this ridiculous automated closing of GitHub issues?! Or at least set sensible defaults like 9 months, and not 30 days? #github #opensource #rant

Been using #Pushover for over a decade now. Zero problems. Zero downtime. I donated a few times because it's weird to get such a great, useful service for free. Whoever runs it, props to you! 💛

Spent some time to work on my Colored Sidebar plugin for #Obsidian. Release 1.4.0 contains 8 new themes! 😍 Also updated the readme to include a complete theme preview. github.com/Kovah/obsidi... #obsidianplugin #obsidianplugins

Just got this email from Imgur. Account is 13 years old now. Gives me strong "my Twitter account is older than you!" vibes. 🤣

Currently rebuilding my Home Lab with Ansible and CI pipelines on my own Forgejo instance. And the stuff just works?! How refreshing! #homelab #coding #programming

Calling all #PHP developers 👋 Join us for JetBrains #PHPverse – a free online event that brings together PHP developers from around the world. This year's lineup features @fabien.potencier.org, @jonathanbossenger.com, @naderman.de, @ashleyhindle.com, and more. 📅 June 9 🔗 https://jb.gg/phpverse-26

Hey is anybody else in tech really stressed

No wonder that so many services get hacked. Currently figuring out a Hashicorp #Vault setup and the first tutorial I find just disables mlock (needed for a production server!) and grants privileged access to the #Docker container. And it gets even worse: #Codex suggested the same. WTF?!

I am really torn between letting #AI tackle tasks that I just don't have the time for, or doing it on my own and push through. Throwing AI on issues may solve a problem, but introduces holes in your #knowledge about and #maintainability of the code. I can't be the only one. 🫠

People, get this amazing game. Especially if you like Stardew Valley and the like.

LOL there's a #Claude Code skill that cuts 75% of tokens by talking like a caveman: github.com/JuliusBrusse... 😄 #ai #aicoding

Started watching the #Laracast video series "How to build a Dev team" by @mattstauffer.com. Although I am not a manager, the series contains A LOT of excellent insights and suggestions on team building, communication and culture. 💪 laracasts.com/series/how-t...

I am so sick of maintaining LinkAce right now. The only feedback I get is stupid security vulnerabilities and why features are not being implemented. I am just one click away from archiving the whole damn project. 🤬 #opensource #maintainers

We are very happy to welcome Matt Stauffer as the newest Board member for The PHP Foundation! Matt brings decades of experience and we are grateful for his insight as we move forward. Welcome, Matt! 🤩 🐘 🚀 Read more: thephp.foundation/blog/2026/03... #php #thephpfoundation #phpc

Can't be the only one with @github.com failing to write to its own Actions Cache?! Getting a 502 and their Unicorn page. 🫠 #55 exporting to GitHub Actions Cache #55 ERROR: error writing layer blob: failed to parse error response 502: <!DOCTYPE html>

If you ever need an certificate or the like, do yourself a favor and avoid SSL.com for that. Horrible experience, unhelpful customer service. Essentially lost $60 now and got nothing. 😐

Look what I found at a local supermarket! #Fallout #Pringles! 😮🤩

Can someone recommend wired USB-C #headphones? Preferably in-ear. #recommendations
