I made a Tauri app and Safari isn't as shit as I expected!

Our internet went down this morning. I followed our fibre until I found a guy in a JCB who denied any knowledge of how the cables came down 🤣

Smashed half a bag of sweets that I thought were wrapped in rice paper. Wife saw me eat a few and then pointed out they are wrapped in plastic 🤣

I will not buy your car unless I can turn off lane departure and speed warnings with a single button! They're not fit for purpose in much of the world.

Client says after 10 years, everything needs moving from Github to Azure for "CRA compliance" 😭

The only thing guaranteed in life is the Airbnb will have no sharp knives and no way to sharpen them

I swore I'd never have any home automation because I didn't want to maintain it and I didn't see the point. I take it all back. Today I turned the air conditioning on 4 hours before I got to the house and it was blissful by the time I arrived!

I like to not remember my Saturday's 😂

Love that the highlight of this 7GB+ updade is 8 new emoji

Today we visited the local "snack bar", the closest place to our house that serves alcohol. They sell bottles of beer for €0.80 and a large white wine is €1. There were 3 tractors with ploughs parked out the front

I rescued these frisky frogs from our empty pool and moved them down the road to a pond. He was hanging on through the entire ordeal 😂

Flying back to the UK earlier than planned to vote in the local elections!

Debating on how to get an ethernet cable through a 40-50cm stone wall. If I buy a long enough drill bit will I ever find a mortar path through? How much of a mess am I going to make? I've been putting this off for weeks....

2+ hour queue at border control leaving Portugal for the UK. That is unless you walk to the front waving an EU passport or resident permit in which case there was no queue!

I once received a utility bill addressed to "Tinned Fish"

CCTV: AN INTRUDER HAS BEEN DETECTED!

Taking prototype circuit boards in a plastic container through airport security caused a bit of a scene. Apparently it looked like a "classic device". My bag was put aside until a manager came and checked the x-ray and questioned me before anyone would touch it!

If accidental publishing of your sourcemaps would be embarrassing or would expose your IP, you should probably have a test for that!

I have worked for 11 different software companies over the last 14 years. Each had their own challenges, but the biggest ones were never development speed.

Does @npmx.dev have package dependents? Couldn't see it in the UI and it's one of the few reasons I ever went to npmjs!

We had our house well water tested and the results are in... it's not safe to drink without boiling. Some bacteria levels are too high. Maybe caused by the recent heavy rain and flooding but I guess UVC treatment might be required. Maybe a good idea to call in the experts!

@tolin.ski loved the @syntax.fm video about your Electron app. Are you using the @sentry/electron SDK? Also, what do you know about international digital sales taxes and how horrible it makes selling apps these days?

Finally got the fibre installed and the usability vs 3G is night and day, especially at peak hours. 1Gbps symetric was only €31/month! Now I just need to get a ladder so I can remove the overhead copper wires the installer couldn't be bothered to remove 🤦🏻‍♂️

Goodbye winter!

Love how Quickbooks accounting software now has AI transaction classification that's useless and they've also messed up manual classification in the process.

I love any country where McDonald's/Burger King serve beer at the drive through

I regret not bringing a jacket 😆

Our broadband provider says they can offer 10Gbps but if I upgrade all our networking equipment it's apparently going to cost an extra 2-4 watts PER PORT used vs 2.5Gbps 🤯

Github Actions giving me really actionable feedback today

At least ww3 will have a memecoin

I really need a Lotus Emira in my life

I spent half a day trying to work out why I couldn't generate the specific 16bit CRC in some communication examples in a specification document. I emailed the doc author and they told me the document was generated by AI so not to trust the examples 🤦‍♂️

😭

The flight we needed out of Vienna today was overbooked and a hotel for another night was crazy money so we jumped on a train to Bratislava!
