Had a great time at #UKGE this past weekend. Always fun to be involved with the show and see it grow. Our inaugural Bastion Indie Game Market felt like a success; the queues to get in were both encouraging and frustrating (we're sorry!), but hopefully something we can improve next year!

We've just approved ~15 indie designers who'll be showcasing their creativity at Bastion Indie Market at UKGE. We'll be keeping the applications open for another couple of weeks, so if you've got a small-run, original #tabletop production that you want to sell, apply at market.bastiongames.co.uk

#tabletop Bluesky people! We're organizing a small print run board game market, hosted at UKGE this year (think Night Market at PAX). If you've got a small, original production that you'd like to get in front of people, we'd love for you to apply at market.bastiongames.co.uk Please share!

Raise your hand if you ever inadvertently caused a 2+ hour outage (which was impossible to fix in a deterministic manner) due to DNS misconfiguration. #itwasdns

It's official - `django.tasks` exists! Coming soon to @djangoproject.com 6.0. 585 days later, the first step (of many) in Django's background tasks journey is finally complete! 🥳 theorangeone.net/posts/django...

I think the text that appears to dissuade you from using hints in Case of the Golden Idol should also be presented before you’re allowed to reply to someone’s Bluesky post

It triggers a lot of anxiety having so many eyes on something I wrote, but I was not expecting people reaching out with kind words via email or Bsky/Mastodon. That little bit of extra effort has a big effect, definitely something I'll be keeping in mind next time I read or watch something I enjoy.

In an attempt to blog more, I ended up writing about the damaging influence of algorithmic feeds, and how we can take back control. usher.dev/posts/2025-0...

It's so sad to see the efforts of this team be dismissed with so little care. If you want to keep building sustainable websites, it's time to give Wagtail a go. wagtail.org/sustainabili...

Tesco's Clubcard Unpacked is a thing that exists and has revealed that we purchased 39 packs of crumpets and 32 cucumbers last year. Just thought you'd like to know.

#gamesdonequick is currently showing a simultaneous 4-player ruin of Super Mario, with all four player feeds superimposed on each other. Incredibly cool tech. www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick

Yes my wife may have birthed and fed two kids, but I made sure that there are appropriate charging cables for all our devices in convenient places around the house, so credit where credit is due.

I don't know where I first read it but I still say "eXtract Ze Vucking File" to myself to remember the order of flags for `tar -xzvf`

The cheese begins.

That was quick!

If this is official voice hardware I'll be both disappointed to throw away all that work hacking on a custom solution and very pleased I no longer have to.

Added this provocative note to my Llama 3.3 post concerning the CO2 impact of training the model, which Meta calculated as 11,390 tons CO2eq "I believe that's equivalent to around 20 fully loaded passenger flights from New York to London (at ~550 tons per flight)." simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/6/l...

Caves of Qud is out. A landmark work of complexity and craft. I can’t easily convey the love I have for it and its dev team, all I can say is that you owe it to yourself to buy it and spend time in its world. It is a completely unique videogame.

Matilda's style of design seems like a natural fit with Wehrlegig - looking forward to this one.

Looking forward to giving this a go. LiteLLM has been the best option so far and as much as I appreciate the work goes into it, it's not the most fun to work with.

This is going to be a killer feature when it lands in Django core. Jake's doing an amazing job driving this work.

My favorite YouTube subgenre is surreal artist-animator-composer-metalworkers.

Django people! We need input from our community 💚 Take and re-share the 2024 #Django Developers Survey: jb.gg/i0gq35 – collab with @jetbrains.com, makers of the PyCharm #Python editor

For fellow #boardgame enthusiasts, this feed is a nice way to keep up with boardgame-goings-on on Bluesky.

So I hear we're all over here now?
