Spices have shaped human civilization, driving exploration, trade, and culinary innovation for millennia. Today, I'm excited to introduce SpiceNice, a comprehensive open-source database that brings structured information about culinary spices and their source plants to everyone – from professional chefs to home cooks, botanists to farmers. A section on free literature about spices completes the website.

Although I love talking with people—whether it’s having deep chats or just exchanging simple hellos—initiating communication has never been my strong suit. Most of the time, I’ve remained passive in first interactions. However, whenever someone else took the first step, I always did my best to keep the conversation lively and meaningful.

I've started hacking on a new open source CLI tool I'm calling t2x, short for "text to whatever". It uses language models (local and in the cloud) to perform useful text operations.

As we find ourselves in interesting times , the gap between reality and the narrative of progress is growing, and applied human intelligence (aka "technology") is "disrupting" (aka changing without full context) many things. Where does this leave the poet? M....

Fly.io Postgres failover fix (flyctl pg failover) This is a note to myself, meant to be succinct and helpful. I’m sharing it publicly to save others time. Most of the time Fly.io works as I expect it to, but occasionally there are edge cases that lack documentation, public announcements, or both. It’s possible that at some point Fly.io announced a breaking change and I missed it, but the behavior I observed deserves more than an announ....

The largest price percentage increase is 27.52% for CPX21 servers, and the smallest is 4.17% for CX3+ servers. Bandwidth allotments are decreasing on average, across all products, 88.19% from previous allotments. I’ve been a big fan of Hetzner. Unfortunately they’ve made ....

If you are following the news around Debezium—an open-source platform for Change Data Capture (CDC) for a variety of databases—you may have seen the announcement that the project is in the process of moving to the Commonhaus Foundation . I think this is excellent news for the Debezium project, its community, and open-source CDC at large. In this post I’d like to share some more context on why I am so excited about this development.
