nzb360 and Telegram are two of the best examples of pristine user experience and interface on Android. Take a look at those if you need ideas or inspiration.

Winget now has the vast majority of apps I need on a daily basis. No need to install Chocolatey anymore when I'm on a Windows machine.

Yoo BTC just dipped below $90K for the first time in months, wiping out its 2025 gains so far. Down about 2% YTD now, with the price hovering around $88,700 amid some market jitters. Buying the dip or waiting it out? 📉

Please, never just "vibe code" the start of a project. Use AI to help with the structure and architecture, but don't let it write all the code – you'll end up with an unmaintainable, inconsistent mess.

Aaaand back to Obsidian I am, now that it has Bases. I want to make it flexible and extensive so that I never have to move out of it again in my life 🤭

Markdown and front matter are everything you need for a good note-taking system.

Notion is one of the last daily apps I use that's not self-hosted. It's about time I find a solid replacement for note-taking and task planning. I'm currently trying out AFFiNE and Obsidian to see if they fit the bill. Really hoping the new Obsidian Bases feature turns out great!

Tailscale is one of the best additions to any home lab. It simplifies accessing your home network from anywhere, anytime – secure and effortless.

I hate to admit it, but MacBooks really are that good...

I urge you to self-host as much as you possibly can of the products and services you use. You'll feel a real sense of relief, knowing your data is truly yours, and privacy feels a whole lot better that way.

Java often gets dismissed by new devs as 'enterprise bloat,' but let's be real: it's rock-solid. Insanely extensive with tools for everything, and cross-platform like no other. Been around forever for a reason. If you're building scalable stuff, give it another look – it's still great!

I hate instant messaging for anything that's not urgent. We should get back to using email more often, where I only check it once or twice a day. Non-urgent notifications still pull my focus, make me grab my phone, and totally destroy my flow state... Yet we've normalized it.

I've said it time and time again, and I'll keep saying it: Just use Postgres for everything. It's versatile, reliable, handles it all, and there's an extension for basically anything you need.

Alright, I'm convinced. Immich is better than Google Photos and every other photo app. The AI features are GREAT, PRIVATE, and ACTUALLY USEFUL!

I've been thinking about startups. Profitability isn't a milestone. It's freedom from funding chases. Building Uni’s Easy lean and solo feels right. Focus on user value over hype. Bootstrappers, does it give you more control or limit ambition?

Setting up Immich right now to replace my Synology Photos setup. Wish me luck! 🤞🍀

Alright, I get the hype around OpenCode. It's really good at using existing context and finding which files to update. It's also just a really, really good TUI. Seriously!

All of the Affinity apps are now free! Canva acquired them from Serif, and this is such a cool development. It might have just become the best photo editor available for Linux!

Google, please just release Gemini 3.0 already...

Why do people care so much about the "news"? Is FOMO really that important to them? It's just fluff about other people and events, portrayed as crucial so people don't have time to do meaningful, actually important stuff. Like, why do you need to know the news???

Instagram's doodle drawing feature has to be one of the most creative and innovative additions to social media in a few years.

Imagine Microsoft Recall, but for Linux: open-source, runs entirely local, and respects your privacy. Index your screen history without Big Brother watching. As a self-hosting enthusiast, I'd love this—turning forgotten tabs and docs into instant recall. FOSS could make it amazing!

Did you know Advent of Code 2025 is down to just 12 puzzles from 25? Quality over quantity. Who's joining in this year? 🎄

Swift for Android might be a game changer... Or it might just turn out to be another React Native/Flutter alternative 🤦

With the new use workflow directive and sleep helpers by Vercel, you can now officially replace HubSpot with TypeScript 😭🤣

Typst is freaking good! You can basically program your document – write components & macros for reusable bits. Ditch LaTeX pain for fast, flexible FOSS typesetting. Try it!

Komoot just redesigned their app. I don't know how to feel about it

MinIO's ditching binaries: now source-only builds for all. Hardcore FOSS win for security and transparency, but a compile hurdle for some. Self-hosters, you ready?

OpenAI's new ChatGPT Atlas browser is here, integrating AI right into your browsing. It reminds me of Comet's approach to smarter web navigation. But seriously, is prompting an AI really faster than just clicking buttons? What do you think?

It’s 2025. Stop building Windows Forms apps. There are WAY better options now.

Yesterday, half the internet went down because one data center region failed. Doesn't anyone see the issue? We're all reliant on external companies that ultimately depend on AWS us-east-1 somehow. 🤦

Pro tip from Karpathy's 2013 guide: Math/CS: Skip heavy reading at first. Jump into exercises. They teach way more and plug the holes. Hands-on wins. Your best study trick?

Orange is the best color. Fight me

Sonnet is still the best for coding man. It just behaves more expectedly!

You'll only ever need three different DBMSs: Postgres, SQLite, and Redis. Everything else is fluff.

No, Hetzner is no longer the cheapest VPS host. It remains the best, though.

Windows 10 support wraps up soon, and Linux is getting a wave of new users. This shift feels right on time. 🐧

Be careful with context bloat. You should give your LLM just or a bit more than enough context for it to achieve the task. Just don't give it TOO much. It gets confused.

C++ is actually not that hard. Have you tried the npm ecosystem? Now THAT is a pain.

Just don't give up and you'll win. Do more. Do better.

I wouldn't buy a Synology NAS again, but hell, their product just works... It's actually so good.

If you don't have a personal n8n Telegram bot that does stuff for you, you are missing out! Like genuinely missing out!

I seriously wish I'd went with my own hardware + something like Unraid or TrueNAS instead of Synology. Oh well...

Sometimes the hardest part of building isn't what to build. It's deciding what NOT to build. I just have unlimited ideas 😅

University isn't just about the degree. It's about the network, the discounts, and learning how to learn. Everything else is a bonus (or at least should be).

The best framework is the one you actually ship with. Stop switching and start building.

So many open source self-hosted projects to try... time to focus!

Do a two-week feature freeze where you just fix problems and improve the experience of your product. Your product will get visibly better.

When when when when when is Gemini 3 releasing Google please please please release it now!!

Aaaaaaand WearOS turns out to be pretty good 😅
