PSA: for 5EUR, you can get TinyStart which does all of what I used RayCast for, for a fraction of the memory budget tinystart.app

Rejoin is coming: Talk of the customs union and single market is a distraction. Only full membership offers a compelling vision of Britain's future iandunt.substack.com/p/rejoin-is-...

Well take a look at this handsome fella. Thank you @bunny.net!

I've written a blog post about some of the less obvious things I've learned about Postgres indexes. jon.chrt.dev/2026/04/15/t...

Yes, we want it!

Yes! Count me in!

Again, if you have a Substack, the best time to switch away was months ago -- but today's the second best time.

We would like to thank @megacrit.com for another year of sponsorship. This time, upgrading to Corporate Platinum! We were supposed to post this earlier but we were all busy playing Slay the Spire 2 🫡 fund.godotengine.org

in this video i reveal how to let code die

I've been putting off setting up some home battery automation to discharge what's left at the end of each day (before recharging on the off-peak overnight rate). I procrastinated as I couldn't be bothered to work out a clever way to avoid discharging energy I'd want to use in the evening. (cont)

"Open the pod bay doors, HAL" "They're already open" "No they're not, they're closed" "Oh, I see now. They're still closed. Let's see if we can correct that. I've taken another look and they're open now" "No, they're still closed" "You're right, they're still closed" "..." "Is there anything else?"

This is how you "break link between the price of gas and the price of electricity": building more wind power, solar, grid upgrades and grid batteries. In March gas set the price of electricity some 65% of the time – it used to be 98% across a year

You can now talk to Bunny Database through the terminal 🧑‍💻 The interactive SQL shell is here — and it's the first piece of the bunny.net CLI. REPL, dot-commands, saved views, secret masking, and non-interactive mode for scripts. Details on the blog👇

It looks like it should be harmless to move, and it would really open things up if you just moved it elsewhere. Let's just... *𝐂𝐑𝐀𝐒𝐇* That was load-bearing code.

correspondent on cnn portugal: these missiles can't reach portugal but *faint smile* they CAN reach spain

gotta pay for that subsidised slop somehow stop being the product - GitHub is not your friend github.blog/news-insight...

"Disregard that!" attacks - why you shouldn't share a context window with others

Thrilled to have been followed by an "autonomous agent" for the first time. But in my fit of excitement, I accidentally hit block.

I wrote about my experience adding a live reload feature to my static site generator, Lumaca. jon.chrt.dev/2026/03/20/a... Yes, the first post on my blog is about the software I wrote to make the blog. It's a rite of passage.

Gleam 1.15 is here, tail calls explained and making illegal states unrepresentable. Gleamweekly issue 81 is ready for your inbox. gleamweekly.com/issues/81/

finally got about an hour and a half to play with #picoCAD2 tonight! what an absolute treat, can't wait to get some more time in to test the new animation features <3

A bloody has cat just jumped into our pool!

Finally, my hometown makes national news for something wholesome and awesome.

The evidence is overwhelming: Brexit has been a disaster for London and the UK. Rejoining the EU is now clearly in our national interest. The option to rejoin should be on the ballot at the next General Election. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Let's play: Dark Souls or Thailand? 🇹🇭

Got some confused looks when I tried to order with a GET request

QTP with a game that has a 10/10 soundtrack

Your mobile hero section looks perfect in dev tools. Then you test on a real phone and half of it is hidden behind the address bar. The solution? Three new CSS viewport units: svh, lvh, and dvh.

Puma Velocity 2s 💔

Ever noticed how your entire page shifts when you open a modal? That's not a bug, that's a missing CSS property.

Honey wake up, new Ghostty just dropped

Ask me how my flight to Bangkok is going...

Which is Heathrow's worst terminal, and why is it Terminal 2?

remember when twitter fired 2/3 of their employees and decided to stop paying their cloud bills ..is this what github also did? is this what's happening? why it's down every. single. day?

This is so much fun! www.youraislopbores.me

I'm leaving for the airport in two hours for a flight to Thailand. Let's play a game of listing all the things I'm going to wish I'd brought once I arrive!

Migration to #eurosky complete. Everything feels... The same. Back to planning world domination then.

"The most effective consumer boycotts in history share two qualities: they are narrow and they are easy," writes @rutgerbregman.com

PSA: If you’re verified on @bsky.app and you want to move to @eurosky.social please give us a heads-up (either through DM - eurosky account or me - or via mail to [email protected]) so that we can coordinate the re-verification with Bluesky for after the migration. Please reshare!

There's little more satisfying than peeling back the moist seal atop a freshly opened tub of Greek yoghurt.

I'm a long-time Kagi user, but clearly don't check their docs often enough... Because I miss cool new features like SlopStop! help.kagi.com/kagi/feature... This, paired with the option to exclude AI images, really makes a difference in the world of enslopification.

DNS migration from Cloudflare to Bunny was absolutely painless. Now I need a European replacement for Cloudflare tunnels.

Another milestone achieved: Gleam had its first conference! Thank you, @crowdhailer.bsky.social and Laura, for organising the #GleamGathering 2026 and bringing together dozens of Gleamlins in one place 🩷

Continuing to be absolutely floored by how @denizcamp.bsky.social's Ultimates comic series both understands, and rises to meet, the current moment. The unreality of the comic's own world as a mirror to our own - brand consumerism won't save you; better pick up a brick instead. It's fantastic.

I've just released v2.0.0 of GitStore - a #Gleam library for interacting with git forge repositories. The major change is adding support for Codeberg and Forgejo. And in the spirit of that, the project source code has been moved to Codeberg: codeberg.org/jmcharter/Gi...

🤣

Last cuppa before heading over to Bristol, ready for the first #Gleam gathering tomorrow!

@dbushell.com I just read your post on Proton spam and ugh... It resonated strongly. I have lost my love for Proton. I no longer feel the friction of their offering is worth their proposed ethics. Sadly, moving away has been a pain as you must continue paying if you want email forwarding...

Anybody else have a wife who is suddenly _obsessed_ with fictional gay hockey players?
