Redid the way my content engine handled file watchers thanks to this post ( and @maartenballiauw.be, @woodruff.dev , @khalidabuhakmeh.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy on @breakpoint.show ). Took the drifter example and tweaked it so that the lifetime of the object is determined by a file watcher.

Think you're safe online? OAuth 2.0 in the browser could let attackers steal your access tokens and use them for as long as they are valid, acting on the user's behalf 😱 Interview with @philippederyck.bsky.social: youtu.be/urS9wstmN2U #dotnet #security #bff #oauth2

While working on something else in the garden discovered termites in the shed. One of those vacations that are really a task list that keeps growing.

@flysas.com : "Try our chatbot Ture, 24/7" Me: hovers "start chat", sees it all disabled Guess 24/7 is different everywhere.

Migrated #homeassistant from container to HA OS and that was super smooth. Backup on one, restore on other. Impressed by tech actually working!

Managed to lock myself outside the house without keys. Also managed to do this while wife has her cellphone downstairs and she is in the shower upstairs. Guess I'll enjoy the evening outside for a bit 😅

Woke up in my happy place

Blazor is the Visual SourceSafe of the web. "Hey other visitor let me know when I can have a websocket OK?"

Hot take: every "customer service chat" that starts with an AI/bot conversation only serves to make the customer more angry when the inevitable chat with a human support person happens.

Azure static web apps config file can only be 20kb, that's pretty useless for a larger static site with a few years of redirects to be served. Ah well, learned how to do an Astro plugin/hook.
