Astro 5.17 is now available! Move the dev toolbar, partition your cookies (we had to look it up too, no worries) and create the images of your dreams with cool new optimization options.

Thinking about switching to Purelymail, anyone have any experience with it? purelymail.com

Wait is Star Trek episode 2 about an incel

One area where devs might really be pushed towards Linux is that tiling WMs keep getting better there and it's basically impossible to create one of that quality on OSX.

It's crazy that The Jetsons original run was only 1 season. Given its cultural relevance.

We all know funding open source can be hard. Let’s talk about how Astro is doing it in 2026! (And how you can help 👀)

The fun thing about getting a live Christmas tree is knowing no matter how much you clean up the needles, you're still going to keep finding them for all of the next year.

I've always admired Cloudflare engineers from afar and am honored to be joining them. There's a lot more Astro can do to help content sites adapt to the changing internet; and with Cloudflare's support we can double down on that mission.

it seems it's the season for teams working on OSS being funded by companies – and honestly I couldn't be happier. well deserved congratulations to all 🙌

We are joining Cloudflare! astro.build/blog/joining...

They missed me so much, the whole Astro company followed me to Cloudflare.

I just realized we're only 3 years away from Terminator's future dystopian world.

We just released the Astro 6 beta. This is the result of the biggest refactor we've done to Astro since its early days. If you're interested in looking under the hood of a framework, stick with me and I'll explain what we did. bsky.app/profile/astr...

I've been sketching out the program for this year's #FutureFrontend conference (8-9.6, Dipoli, Espoo, Finland) and it looks like we'll have a good range of design and development topics. To understand where the space is headed, join us at the conference. futurefrontend.com

The gap between dev and prod has never been smaller 🔬 astro.build/blog/astro-6...

Introducing the Astro 6.0 Beta. - Redesigned dev server: run against the same runtime you deploy to - First-class Cloudflare Workers support with workerd - Stable Content Security Policy and Live Collections It's never been a beta time to try Astro 👀

This from antirez is what I've been feeling for a long time but have been unable to express: > I have a single suggestion for you, my friend. Whatever you believe about what the Right Thing should be, you can't control it by refusing what is happening right now. antirez.com/news/158

Why does the "less dry" setting exist on dryers. When do you want your clothes not fully dry?

Compared to higher-faff frameworks, @astro.build's performance and ease of use is a breath of fresh air, which is why we choose it time and time again. We gave Astro $2,161.58 this year and made sure the Astro ⇌ Sentry integration works out of the box 💫

Terminator 2D No Fate is so fun. Games used to be fun

New Year's party costumes are tough because you pretty much just have the weekend after Christmas to do them. You could do them sooner but who has time for that in December?

echo "Merry Christmas" | chop -mip # - [>] Merry Christmas

Chop is now available on the AUR, please see codeberg.org/mphillips/ch...

I didn't like the new Knives Out movie.

Chop releases now include a man page. codeberg.org/mphillips/chop

When I try to register for AUR and validate my email I always get "Invalid email". Anyone else ran into this?

Chop now has binaries in releases and a debian package. Other platforms coming soon. See codeberg.org/mphillips/chop

The scene in White Christmas where they honor the general gets me every time.

Uncle Billy was a real fuck up.

Built a todo app. It's a CLI app that takes stdin, formats each line as a todo item, let's you manipulate or filter by status, and that's it! Works fantastic with your CLI toolkit. I call it chop: codeberg.org/mphillips/chop echo "post about chop" | chop >> todos.txt

They do, that's why their making a change. Their user base is now luddites and people who use them just because they aren't a big company. They tried to acquiesce their user base by focusing on "privacy" and no one gave a shit. So now they are going after a different user base.

I've written the coolest todo app. Will release after I've added packages.

i have a great idea for a todo app

It's truly astonishing how much Gunk gets trapped inside of a USB-C port. And compressed air doesn't work at all

Anyone who works on frameworks and is currently participating in a pile-on against React's recent vulnerabilities; be very sure you don't have some of your own.

The last Oscar best picture I'd want to definitely rewatch is No Country for Old Men. I'd maybe rewatch The Shape of Water. The rest, no interest in ever seeing again.

I play video games on easy mode. Even normal mode is usually too hard for me.

I kind of want to get a portable blu ray player. There's a lot of content not available on streaming, especially older content, and blu rays have extras that don't exist at all on streaming. Portable so I can watch it sitting out on my back porch.

There's no greater argument against SPAs than GitHub in 2025. If you tried to construct a demo site that exposed all of the SPA flaws you could not have done a better job. Bravo.

Give me one good reason why The Muppets have never won Best Picture at The Oscars.

Going to start throwing — into everything I write, just to throw people off.

Some people have asked so I want to clarify, @astro.build is not affected by the recent React vulnerability CVE-2025-66478. Astro apps using React do not use React Server Components. nextjs.org/blog/CVE-202...

The Muppets Christmas Carol does it in an hour 20. There's no excuse for a 3 hour movie.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind has a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, was directed by Steven Spielberg, and yet no one ever talks about it and I never hear anyone mention rewatching it.
