I think the Frieren S2 eng dub is coming out today. 🙏

@npmx.dev is VERY nice! I cannot wait to see it progress more.

A comment on a video about Proton leaving Switzerland. But it's too true 😂😭 youtube.com/watch?v=jRuF...

The one time the UK has a lawsuit aimed to "help consumers" and they pick bloody Steam. STEAM?! Of all the far nastier alternatives... that's genuinely who they target. This country drives me insane.

Tailscale so magic it feels like a backdoor 😆

If the UK bans VPNs down to restricting payment processors working with certain VPN companies then I'm sending cash to mullvad.

How does one pronounce February? Feb-roo-ary? Feb-yoo-ary? Feb-ree? Feb-roo-air-ee? Or am I dumb

I've been lazy and been working from home solidly for the past few months. Every time I go to the office I feel 10x better even though it's just a change of scenery! It's not like I have people to meet, as the company I work for is pretty much sustained from people's homes. It's just me haha.

I wish the equivalent to email aliases worked for phone numbers. Got a couple of scam calls recently and it's frustrating to not know where they got my number from.

I started watching Gachiakuta, didn't really know what I was getting into but I quite enjoyed it. Unique concept executed really well

Windows has been getting so much hate recently. Love to see it!

Is there a password manager that can actually reliably autofill? All the ones I've tried just can't do it. And it's the best part of a password manager.

Mixing water with milk. 🤢 Mixing water with milk but add flavour with some leaves. 🥰☕

Help us make hope normal again. Join the Green Party now.

What gets me hyped is people and some high profile orgs are giving up on Windows and Linux just gets better day by day. I swear there's gonna be some event horizon event one day where Linux is unstoppable.

I really badly want to watch Frieren Season 2 but I just can't do subs. 😭

Ooooof I only just started using nix flakes on Mac and the most recent update completely borked it. Is this normal? Having doubts with Nix on Mac...

This Mac Mini M4 I bought when it launched I think it gonna be my first and last Mac. I moved to Mac to rid my life of Windows, but i've been doing my usual dev workflow on Linux and it works perfectly fine and I even prefer Gnome to the Mac UI.

Development has started. Parsers are fun. 😂 Not that an env file is a particular challenge.

Whaaaattt Nvidia killing off high VRAM variants of popular lower end SKUs. Whyyy. Their 5070 Ti and 5060 Ti 16GB is effectively "EOL". Having bought a 5060ti 16GB a month ago I am winning. But the situation is crap.

Bluesky's official Twitter account 😭😂 A bikini fits too well on the logo now I won't be able to forget it. 💀 thanks Bluesky

I know where are cloud services out there, but I have an idea for an npm package that is gonna be the biggest npm package I have written if I finish it!

Today, we published a security release for @nodejs.org that fixes a critical bug affecting virtually every production Node.js app. If you use React Server Components, Next.js, or ANY APM tool (Datadog, New Relic, OpenTelemetry), your app could be vulnerable to DoS attacks. 👇

Gave my NixOS config a huge refactor. Everything is nicely split into hosts, users, modules, the lot. Also got my main coding project all set up with nix flake dev shells - and on Mac as well (which is going to soon get the nix-darwin treatment) so have dropped Volta for good.

I used to think the reason people pay mostly interest at the start of a mortgage was because the banks want in on the profits first. But it's just maths and actually if people didn't pay mostly interest first, the system would be less fair and kinda broken.

Oh damn, Nix devs shells are cool. But again quite complicated. 🤣 But super powerful. I think my projects will use them to bootstrap all sorts of dev environments. Python, Rust, TS, and more without adding anything permanent to my system. 🤯 Scoped to a repo.

I have spent most of my day writing my Nix config and now it's almost 2AM and I need to sleep. 💀 But if there are any Nix experts I would actually appreciate a some feedback as I have only just started learning!

Oh my NixOS is very nice. I've managed to set up flakes, home manager and get all my apps running. My computer is mostly versioned. Lots of the default apps I have removed and replaced with more powerful alternatives. This OS feels so smooth and reliable.

Ok it's been really interesting! I find the Nix programming language quite different to what I'm used to. Also learning flakes is a little confusing. But I think I'm getting the gist. But! I got some of my apps versioned and committed to git! Looking forward to fleshing out my Nix config more. 👀

I am gonna go back and try NixOS. Last time I tried it was in a VM and I gave up with VM limitations. But I am putting it on metal this time. 👀 See if I give up again! I really want to learn to use NixOS.

Got me a Framework Cooler Master mainboard case. I was gonna use it but now I've put the board back in my laptop. Still gonna keep it because it's cool and I might have a use for it in the future!

It's been 1 week into 2026 and Bitbucket has another outage! Bitbucket has to be one of the most unreliable platforms I have ever used. Will attach a trail of my complaints every time there is an outage:

As somewhat expected, it was almost there but it lost my heart. Definitely on the border (I tried to convince myself it's the one) but I am not taking the risk.

I found a house that I can afford that I think I like. I'm going to visit it! I've been saving hard for many years, so I think I'm finally starting to enter "wait, I can afford that!" Territory. It's just me and it's small but it's close to family and looks cosy.

I used an 11 year old SATA SSD for my homelab (my first ever SSD in fact) and I knew it was a ticking time bomb and needed to be replaced and now I am reaping the consequences of my actions. 😂😭

I remember when Discord advertised themselves as the fastest VC client. Considering it runs Electron I highly doubt it was the case back then and even more so today. 🤔

Having rocked this setup for a while, I got some things to mention! Firstly, there are two ways I went about this. 1) process files over an NFS share and 2) download the file to the node, process it, then upload back to the server.

Just got my replacement phone after my current one bricked. Reminds me why phones are so boring because they sent me the next generation one but it's pretty much identical to the last.

I uhh bought a bigger case for my homelab and I used to use an SFX PSU so I tried it and none of the cables are long enough. 🤣 Had to get creative and put the PSU under the GPU and now the inside of the case is a real mess haha.

Had to dig out an old phone of mine. It's the old Huawei Mate 20 Pro. Was a prime device back in the day. But I don't really trust it now. 😂 Still though, lots of old photos and videos from 2018 to 2021 which were great to look at. ☺️

Been really getting into the guts of my Framework laptop recently, using the mainboard for different things. Decided to put the mainboard back in. Framework really did do an epic job, it was so easy to go in and just do things. It was easier to work with than building a PC in my opinion.

So my phone packed up. Won't turn on. Completely bricked. So I arrange a replacement, which requires a holding charge. "Please approve this transaction in your banking app" 🫠

Let's goooo!

Is there a way to ban a word on Bluesky? I really want to block the word "AI". I think I've hit my limit with seeing posts about it all the time. I wanna draw a line.

I am going to sell my Mini-ITX motherboard and Jonsbo N3, and swap them both for an ATX and tower for my homelab. The size constraint was simply too much, and I think I just need to accept that to do what I wanna do I need the space! 🤣

I know I have work tomorrow but my brain is already thinking my Christmas break has started. 😭 At least it makes me feel relaxed.

What is this bs? Why mass surveillance always under the guise of "protect the kids"? All this warrants is putting a special chip in all of our devices to scan everything we do. Source: bills.parliament.uk/publications... (page 20)

It's a lot different now. But I have published it to npm! Created a new monorepo to hold all of my utility things I have done in the past on GitHub. It's still early days and I still need to refine it more. Going to probably publish more things to npm in the future as well!

This is why I still watch YouTube

When I see someone unbox a new gadget, and they pull the coiled cable straight without unwinding it. Me: 😱
