What's the best mesh wifi router?

Project MINI RACK by @jeffgeerling.com looks sweet. Might be my gateway drug into homelabbing

I'm absolutely stoked for this read

The Python documentary was so well done www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfH4...

I wrote about why I believe the Oxide and Friends podcast will have a greater impact on their mission to change computing forever than their rack scale computer tylerhillery.com/blog/oxide-a...

My wife's a bodybuilder and has been trying to convince me to prep for a show. Should I do it?

PyPack Trends weekly downloads data is now publicly available, have at it

4 years into teaching myself programming in 10 years and things are really starting to click www.norvig.com/21-days.html

Double digit PR week, nice

Made some recent updates to my favorite podcast episodes. Added a bunch from Oxide and Friends. tylerhillery.com/lists

Making my way through the @oxide.computer and Friends podcast backlog, and my new funniest episode has to be Reflecting on Founder Mode. I’ll leave you with my favorite line: "I'm fine, come closer."

It's official, I'm moving back to WI! Would love to meet other tech folks, especially those into systems, infra, DBs, etc. Anyone up for a potential WI Systems group?

dbt BigQuery users, you'll like this PR. Allows specifying slot reservations in profiles without having to create multiple BigQuery projects. github.com/dbt-labs/dbt...

Never kill yourself

Can't wait for the @quinnypig.com AWS Summit play by play

Turns out blocking GitHub Actions emails wasn’t my smartest decision tylerhillery.com/blog/post-mo...

Looking back, I can divide my life into chapters based on the main podcast I was listening to at that time

Finally Google Cloud updated status page status.cloud.google.com

Big announcement from us at @supabase.com supabase.com/blog/multigr...

DuckLake is even better in person

PyPack Trends made it into PyCon US 2025!

Updated my about me and background section on my website tylerhillery.com

PyPack Trends uses SQLite as a caching layer in front of BigQuery. 13.5 GiB to store all of PyPI weekly downloads data. The SQLite file is hosted on the same VPS as the backend, with indexes in place to optimize for low latency point queries.

Listening to @oxide.computer and friends backlog, the "Surviving Conventional Wisdom" episode, got me thinking. The wisdom "the more senior you get, the more opinionated you should be" often leads to strong opinions about things that don’t matter. Much more important to choose your battles.

I always see storage cost as a main reason for a data lake(house) architecture but most data warehouses charge the same for storage as any object storage provider.

Took DuckLake for a spin on Supabase and Supabase Storage Almost exact same setup as my tutorial I did last year besides a minor change in the attach command to use ducklake www.youtube.com/watch?v=diL0...

I drank from the DuckLake and have been converted

ICYDK S3 tables have a built Iceberg REST endpoint and it works out of the box with DuckDB (read-only)

Pocket is shutting down and I was a power user until just a couple months ago when I switched to Readwise Reader. Might be time to finally finish that draft blog post "How I Consume the Internet."

Coming up on 4 years since I first decided to learn how to program and this just blows my mind.

I love how the backend that powers PyPI is called Warehouse

Supabase Storage just got a new contributor 👀

Went down a rabbit hole of @bcantrill.bsky.social talks this weekend (who's now tied with James Mickens as my favorite speaker). His talks are filled with hilarious lines when taken out of context. Here is my favorite: "No, these drugs are great!"

@duckdb.org had such a large increase in PyPI downloads the past few weeks I thought my site was broken pypacktrends.com?packages=duc...

Hot off the press tylerhillery.com/blog/ai-ampl...

Just bought my ticket, if you're going to Data Council or are in the Oakland area April 21st-24th and want to connect, let me know!

I hit 225 bench this morning which means the next goal is a 405 deadlift

Thinking about going to Data Council 🤔
