I know everyone's talking bout RAM going up in price, but HDDs too. Last 12TB drive I bought for my NAS in August 2025 was £230. The same size drive from same manufacturer is now £350

A div is not a button. Not even when you are building Doom in CSS. This one is for you @matuzo.at

Website all switched over to bunny.net and a new blog post about two scifi books I read recently to celebrate. www.joehart.co.uk/blogs/book-t...

Fascinating byproduct of trying to move my personal site to bunny.net from vercel is all the emoji are rendering wrong

I'm at least 80% DnD source books at the moment.

Emily Wilson's Iliad translation is so fucking good. Like maddeningly good. It FEELS like an epic poem, not an old dusty story of study.

Second year in a row missing #stateofthebrowser . Last year Dom and I made a sword. This year I am FRANTICALLY prepping an 8 hour DnD session for tomorrow. Excited to keep up with the highlights on social.

I find myself longing for a like “reading” platform. That is Storygraph + readwise reader + audiobook server + notes/highlight aggregator + epub hosting and syncing.

My mac mini network mount has failed for the last time. Gonna move the remaining containers over to my thinkstation linux box this weekend. I am putting this out into the universe and search results: Do not use a mac mini as a home server if you’re mounting data from a NAS. It’s not worth the faff.

Trying to blog more and think and write more about the books I read among other things. Please enjoy thoughts on big gay Shakespeare https://www.joehart.co.uk/blogs/book-thoughts-straight-acting-will-tosh/

Third times a charm testing Mastodon cross syndication for notes https://www.joehart.co.uk/notes/

Testing second time to see if the Mastodon syndicating is working and the backlinking github actions 👀 https://www.joehart.co.uk/notes/

Testing posting notes from my personal site here, to bluesky and mastadon 👀 https://www.joehart.co.uk/notes/ https://www.joehart.co.uk/notes/2026-02-14-45d445a3db93/

Whenever I take the Eurostar it feels like living in a lovely alternate future where the UK is a full groovy part of Europe.

The urge is rising in my to take a punt on a colour e-ink tablet again.... Between Remarkable Paper Pro and the Boox Note Air 5C. God I wish boox did a tablet with the Gallery eink display tech.

Finally on the home assistant hype. Not for a lot of things, but having the hallway lights turn off when i press play on the Apple TV in the evenings is great.

God damn this is cool as hell. Immediate purchase. This plus an e-reader might be the perfect set up for me. youtu.be/69VgtIJOtdQ

I don't want a phone. I want a tricorder.

And please welcome our esteemed judges to the competition! @ohhelloana.blog @chrisgannon.bsky.social @joehart.bsky.social We'll be live streaming the finals and announcing the winner on December 19th on YouTube! Set a reminder!

The first of our #FFConf talks are live for your viewing. Set aside 30 minutes to watch Hellen Ward on "Bias in our products: The case for diversity in tech". Then evangelise at your workplace. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MVJ...

💡What a start to the day with react powered light bulbs from @erikras.com #reactAdvanced @reactadvanced.gitnation.org

Finally sorted out a black friday/cyber weekend discount for my Terminal Training course. 66% discount with THAT_DISCOUNT_WEEK on the "Master package" - terminal.training 38 videos, perfect for anyone who was faced with "just open the terminal"

God damn it, Tim Berners-Lee's book "This is for Everyone" is gradually warming my frozen heart. It's been a long time since I've felt optimistic about the web again.

Photos from #FFConf 2025 are online - lots of lovely faces ❣️ www.flickr.com/photos/remys... Big thanks to @trysmudford.com for his amazing work taking photos throughout the day.

Gotta say, whatever the React Flow folks are paid they should be paid more. Every AI Startup and their cousin is using it for the primary interface.

Turns out you can use MacOS's pretty good OCR in a shell script.

Hrm I think I'm gonna try setting up Coolify on a raspberry pi before the end of the year. I want to self host stuff, but I am lazy and want a groovy dev experience. Feel like it should mix well.

Dystopian thought: It is only a matter of time before AI notetakers like Fathom/Granola start being used in IRL conversations and eventually non-work IRL conversations.

The #ffconf FOMO is real. Hope everyones having a great time down there anf fingers crossed I can make it next year!

I snapped and bought one of those overpriced over the shoulder tote bags. And its THE BEST thing. Should've done it ages ago.

Set phasers to stun 😍 jaysbrickblog.com/news/lego-10...

Honestly, most of my rhythms of yearly life are synchronised to Hard Lines' seasonal coffees.

Ok I'm not a politics guy. But what I do care a lot about is fonts and design. So what sticks out to me about Zohran is just look at that typesetting and design. It feels friendly. It feels homely. It is the complete opposite of the bland clean political branding we're used to.

Obscenely excited for this www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/productions/...

Our latest weekly #FFConf newsletter is out, our archive section celebrates (and recommends) @joehart.bsky.social's talk where he ends with the utterly timeless and Extremely Important line of "To our villain, the giant dickbutt!" ffconf.org/articles/202...

When life gives you LLMs make LLMonade

Come on, let’s sell out @ffconf.org again this year! We’re really lucky that the foremost front end conference is here in the UK. Get yourself a ticket!

I worked on the Torment Nexus for five years. Here’s why the project has lost its way. | New York Times (Gift Link)

Bandcamp has sent me down a rabbit hole of 80s gay disco/Hi-NRG music. And it's fucking great. daily.bandcamp.com/album-of-the...

Halo on a PS5 What a time to be alive

Such a shame there were never any official Led Zeppelin Guitar Hero or Rock Band tracks

1,000 songs in your pocket. 🎶 24 years ago today, Apple launched the iPod.

This font has any% glitchless speed ran itself from "Oh thats cool" to "If I see this font one more time...." Giving Bebas Neue early 2010s energy.

I really think when my personal Macbook Pro M1 eventually packs it in. I'm gonna switch to a mac mini. I kinda like the idea of my home computer being in one static place.

I gotta say, getting back into music libraries with FLACs and MP3s and meta tagging, I really see why we gave all this malarkey up and switched to streaming services.
