My win condition is a cabin in the woods by a river, with no neighbors for miles, some goats, chickens, and a shitload of dogs. (And good internet, water and electricity).

Not the greatest fan of Rob Pike, but a bit more today 😍

The Linux Kernel is just a program: serversfor.dev/linux-inside...

Soms big news in pg18 I was not aware of. pganalyze.com/blog/postgre...

I'm in the middle of going from GCP to Hetzner for a small app with a few thousand queries per second. Ill go from 360 to 34 euro/m. There are difficulties though. You need to properly get roles, users, the wal, plan for storage, backups, network and so on. pierce.dev/notes/go-ahe...

Almost the entirety of Spotify takes up a measley 300tb. Cool :)

Due to a windstorm-related utility power outage at the NIST, time may soon be destroyed

I'm a Dutch speaking person and I left a "kapot" debug message in the codebase. "Kapot" is "broken" in Dutch. Now the whole company is using "kapot" whenever they get a chance.

Why are Github Actions so crappy. Stop touching things, Microsoft.

I spent a bit of time properly setting up a postgres cluster with replication. I admit I see the appeal of cloud services in this regard now. But at least I understand it all a bit better.

Tis the season

So the official instructions to download your autodesk design files for non-paying users is "go scavenge for cache files in the appdata folder". Nice.

I've had a wishlist for a new homelab server I was waiting to buy. Now RAM prices doubled the whole price. Lessons learned: impulse buying is cheaper! 😂

I finally found an obvious application for ontologies: prometheus metrics! WE NEED THIS.

telefoncek.si/2025/02/2025... wat.

Nice! The Elixir survey for 2025 got >1000 respondents. Not too shabby! elixir-hub.com/surveys/2025 #elixirlang

We should all aspire to this level of joy :D

About 10 people let go at work. Pray for me 😅

Given the 50% discount on Manning books, I'm open to suggestions for good books. Something outside of my usual topics (elixir/postgres) would be fun. I already got "Looks good to me" and "just use postgres."

The database for Loomy is hitting almost 80% constant disk util on my single Hetzner VPS. Annoying I have to some upgrades, but lovely to see that it's due to more and more customers <3

I did some home improvement work this weekend. I absolutely love doing it, and I'm not bad at it. My wife does say I curse a lot. I really didn't believe her. I might have to rethink my opinion.

I'm building a webserver in Rust at work. Ive been doing Elixir for almost a decade. I've been screaming "WHY IS THIS SO COMPLICATED" for weeks. Send puppies.

I don't dare cut my dog's nails with these big ass clippers, so I made a little adapter piece for my Dremel.

> Disagreement and confusion in large organizations is not dysfunction but function: it is the normal baseline of operation, just like some constant degree of failure is part of the normal baseline of a complex distributed system. Well, that explains it. www.seangoedecke.com/technical-co...

Am I the only one who is annoyed by people making a video showing how to fix something, while it could have been 2 sentences?

Since I've been doing Rust recently, I need this crap: gist.github.com/m1dnight/fb2... I'm happy with my newfound 368GB of disk space.

Everything is online! I admit, the sources are becoming a bit messy, and the process is getting more involved. But, all the STL files are available if you just want to print them. The STL files are huge, so I used Git LFS for the first time today :)

I bought an ebook from ebooks.com. I had to install Adobe crap to download it. Now I can't read it on my Kobo. I can install a calibre plugin to remove the drm. You know what's a better ux? Freakin' libgen.

And the #erlang version is done too! I'll put the source up soon!

This was supposed to be a teaser, but it's too obvious isn't it? #erlang

Almost done! Needs a bit more leds to distribute the light more evenly. #elixirlang

SUCCES

So, now they blocked my e-mail adres for being "unsafe." I had to change to a gmail account or something to get into contact with the customer support people, since you can only mail from the e-mail address of your amazon account. What a shite company.

It's that time of year again. #elixirlang

@oscar-ceds.bsky.social On the 16th of October 1944 the Nazis sent 1120 = 15 = CKS WTM = SXPZG FYFOI MTMWX. No clue.

For the first time I have to do some maintenance on this printer. It's mostly built from 3d printed parts, but it's as reliable as a Nokia 3310. The belt is a bit too loose so I'll have to tighten it a bit.

This has to be the most French trim option possible. A baguette holder..

They say don't roll your own crypto. Does this still apply if I let Claude roll it for me? That's a loophole, right? right?

Windows 10 goes out of support today. My fave useless fact about w10 is that the iconic blue desktop background is a *photograph* - not CGI. Tiny 'making of' vid here - youtu.be/_2RacX9DgWM...

Happy Ada Lovelace Day 2025 There an easter egg in DrRacket, can you find it? findingada.com

After years of activist pressure, lawsuits, and bad press Ring made much needed reforms. Now, they’re pivoting back to mass police surveillance as a business model. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Would a Goodreads on the AT protocol be a good idea? Building the database of books would be a pain I think.

I forgot to turn off my pc yesterday, but I had Commands Origins paused. I have a brand spanking new gpu so I play some games now and then. I came into the office this morning like a freakin' sauna.

i regret to inform you that the next 700 programming languages are going to be "types with baggage"

obsolescence.dev/enigma-touch... just ordered this. No chatcontrol in this house!1!1!1!1!

Guess what I do most days. #elixirlang

So I have a written statement from the police that they are asking for something that's illegal. And now Amazon is telling me that the police is wrong. What in the actual fuck is wrong with this company.

Apparently I now also need a freakin' lawyer to get my money back from this human garbage company.
