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.

My colleague just misspoke in a meeting. They spent a few hours "refucktering" some code. I think "refucktering" should be a thing.

The fact this website weuseelixir.com exists (now on HN front page) and elixir-observer.com while we're at it, shows the community and its ecosystem needs to be much better communicated by a full-time developer advocate to (collaboratively) wrangle it all in

Happy Batman Day!

Apparently this is not that uncommon: www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterra...

Look at the pretty gpu those poopoos at Amazon sent me.

Almost there!

A friend's son wants to learn programming and his curriculum only offers Ms Office. He's in the 9th grade. Do I get him into python/scheme or start with scratch? Or maybe microbits?

I've been reading up on psql, and is it me, or is managing dbs *properly* underestimated by the average developer? From the list of mistakes in the book "Postgres mistakes and how to avoid them" I've made plenty.

@larsbrinkhoff.bsky.social is apparently working on a remake of the original Arpanet. Learned about this via the newsletter by Obsolence Guaranteed: obsolescence.dev/obsolescence... Also, AN ENGIMA REPLICA.

As a dog person, I still enjoyed this video. #elixirlang www.youtube.com/watch?v=eapF...

Are there any interesting Elixir/Erlang/Beam meetups in Amsterdam? I'm looking for an excuse to go there :) #elixirlang

Well, color me shocked. Maybe they can "Fix with AI." www.theregister.com/2025/08/18/g...

Since I had the connect-four game, and needed something to do with it, I made my connect-four game distributed. It didn't require that much work: github.com/m1dnight/con... #elixirlang

The one thing I never tire of hearing from customer of Loomy is "thank you for the quick response." I'm a (very) small business, and I can do this for now. I want more customers, but I also would like to keep it small just to make sure I can help everyone personally.

Why use observability and alerting when you can wake up to 12 emails and 8 WhatsApp messages from users 🤔

I’m starting to look around for my next role! I'm a deeply technical engineer, with over a decade of professional experience in domains from cyber security to distributed systems and decentralized tech. My personal projects have spanned embedded systems to biohacking—I love learning new things.

@oban.pro just letting you know, I switched from Quantum to Oban, and it is simply *amazeballs*. I'm too poor for Oban pro, but I'll gladly sponsor on GitHub or something if that's possible. #elixirlang
