I *really* hope this works

Finally got myself a mini rack for my homelab and damn is this thing nice! Especially with some 3D printed mounts Next up: 2nd rack for compute 🧠

Shopping around for some more hard drives for my NAS Last year I bought 2 14TB hard drives for £407 Today just one of those 14TB drives costs £427

Does your Cloudflare Worker interact with the wider internet? msw.js has a new release which makes it easier than ever to mock HTTP, GraphQL and Websocket calls. We'd love your feedback. Give it a try and tell me what you think github.com/mswjs/cloudf...

Apple: “We need to verify you’re 18+” Me: “Urrrgghhh fine” Apple: “Your account is old enough, nevermind” Then what is the point of asking me??

Revisiting Deno for the first time in a while and honestly I feel like more LLM's should be using it for one off scripts. Why don't they? 📄 One file for everything 📦 Import from npm & JSR using specifiers like `npm:` 🔒 Permissions required to access network, fs, etc

Building SOMETHING is easy now Building something GREAT still requires precision and an eye for detail

Weekends are now basically just for rapid prototyping any & all ideas

This is super cool! It kind of makes me want to build an Astro integration that, on deployment, publishes my markdown content collections as @standard.site documents. As Tim put it: One source of truth, many views.

GitHub is literally unusable now days /s

Playing around more with Opus 4.5 & asked it to create me a TUI for Cloudflare R2. Less than an hour later I now have a SFE for it.

Welp, it’s official. I’m 28 🎈

UK users when the website asks them where they're posting from today.

Me opening Discord to see a bunch of random people who I am not friends with in my "Active Now" sidebar

They always tell you to take the leap in life, so I did…. ….out of a plane at 13,000ft 🪂

Waiting for the day people in the UK can sideload apps on iOS so I can finally sideload Apollo with my own API key. I miss that app 🫡

I also took a moment to try out DurableObjects & I like the premise of them. But I seriously feel like I am communicating with the ether. I have no way to view or control state stored. Metrics to track usage ofc but apart from that you would need to build your own tools to manage state / storage?

Don't worry @pixelde.su, I made your favourite install script better

TIL about OTP time synchronisation / drift. Why did I learn about this? Windows. Windows date & time. Fucking Windows. On a side note though, shout out to: time.is

The fact cookie banners have now creeped their way into native apps, like Spotify, is hilarious and depressing

Building cool shit is amazing! But don't forget to live a little🌲

If AI tools are so good, why are they being shoe-horned into everything & forced down our throats with “PLEASE TRY ME!” Products don’t need to be fancy and in your face. They just need to be good.

Why is React still using flow? Why are types not built in?

If @deno.land KV is powered by SQLite under the hood, why not expose it natively? Why do I need to use `@db/sqlite`? Either that or I guess waiting for `node:sqlite` to go stable.
