Quite bad allergies flare-up today. It’s a real pain. This seems to often follow after several days of tsunamis. #

While a book requires many, many hours of work, these hours come in rather small increments. If I get to the office at eight thirty, I could be done writing by eleven. Just a couple hours is all it takes. Just a couple crappy pages a day, as one old writing rule puts it. The discipline of writing is about showing up. No delays, no procrastination, no digital distractions. Just writing.”

Has anyone had experience using a phone operating on a linux based OS. After the whole spill about Android trying to stop people from downloading applications from other sources besides from their playstore I'm surprised there isn't more of a push for people to take complete ownership of their mobile devices.

I've been listening, and occasionally watching, the TBPN Podcast a lot recently. It occurred to me today that it might be this era's Techcrunch, in terms of the flow of interesting stuff that goes through them. It feels similar in a lot of ways, but it's a 10x version of it. Their analysis of the bizarre moment we are in is very often quite incredible and it's also a lot of the time fucking hilarious. Now it is a bit heavy tech bro style ..

I’ve been gradually moving more of my setup to self-hosted services. After turning my old ThinkPad into a home server, one of the next logical step was to back up all my Git repositories. Most of my projects live on GitHub, and other places I use for contract work. For a while, I just ran an rsync backup of my local clones. It worked, but it wasn’t a real solution — no metadata, no browsing, and no way to restore easily.

I'm now a bit over a month into my Emacs video-making journey. Today I bring a new episode. Bending Emacs Episode 5: Ready Player Mode Having migrated to mostly playing offline music, in this episode I show how to use Ready Player Mode (a package I built) for this purpose. This is what my Ready Player configuration mostly looks like: (use-package ready-player :ensure t :custom (ready-player-my-media-collection-loca....

The internet connectivity issues where joined by their friends broken kettle, broken headphones, and a whole lot of world being prickly. I had a feeling there was going to be a streak of broken things a few days ago when I accidentally broke my coffee cup after being repeatedly tsunamied by worldo. Hey ho, that’s how it goes sometimes. Well I just finished a pretty big refactor of the Github Actions social media autoposter . Not tested y..

From my experience, every product will eventually want to export some messages or generate a report and it obviously needs to be a PDF. Primarily working with C# these days, it’s a recurring quest to find a good PDF rendering solution for .NET. Quest Unlocked!

A native Emacs shell to interact with any LLM agent powered by ACP ( Agent Client Protocol ).

One of my least favourite things about PiKVM (which is otherwise awesome) is that there’s not a great ‘clipboard sync’ model for it; which is a pain when all you want to do is paste a URL or something into a remote machine. LocalSend has been very very helpful for some of this (especially the reverse: paste back to my host). Today though, I had a freaking brain wave: (Keyboard Maestro Macro Definition showing ;pbt doing “Insert Text ..

Looking to make it to the front page of HackerNews? Then writing a post arguing that "Postgres is enough", or why "you don’t need Kafka at your scale" is a pretty failsafe way of achieving exactly that. No matter how often it has been discussed before, this topic is always doing well. And sure, what’s not to love about that? I mean, it has it all: Postgres, everybody’s most favorite RDBMS—check! Keeping things lean and easy—sure, count me..

Last year in April, I got myself a Creality Ender 3 V3 SE 3D printer. It was a steep learning curve at first - after learning about leveling (apparently needed from time to time), z-offset (not the same as leveling), different filaments ( regular PLA works fine for my printer, wooden PLA not so much) and over-extrusion (apparently the case for my printer), I continued to make progress on getting the prints I wanted. Now a great ....

Nextcloud. I really want to like it, but it’s making it really difficult. I like what Nextcloud offers with its feature set and how easily it replaces a bunch of services under one roof (files, calendar, contacts, notes, to-do lists, photos etc.), but no matter how hard I try and how much I optimize its resources on my home server, it feels slow to use, even on hardware that is ranging from decent to good.

One of the biggest lessons I learned early in my career was from Drew DeVault at Linode, 10 years ago. He was one of the youngest developers in the company (only I was younger, at 20, at the time) but he cared really strongly about thinking through architecture and code decisions when the culture at the time was, and I love those guys, a little haphazard. Drew had no special position. We all had the same title, "Developer". But he argued ....
