Installing immich is on my list for this year. I’m not looking forward to repatriating my photos from Google. And I’m still struggling with how to host it: at home, at home with tunnel to Internet for family, entirely on Internet.

The alternative was to subscribe my instance to a relay and use followed hashtags but I soon found out that this quickly maxed out my media cache limit.

I spent this morning vibe-coding a rebooster clone in Go to follow hashtags on other large sites - this alleviates the problem of having a small solo site lacking much traffic.

Seriously, both of those metrics would be valuable to managers to let them known when a senior dev needs to pair with a junior to help them out.

I'm someone who wants SonarQube to publish a code-smells/week metric for each dev. They intentionally do not offer that, however. I find it to be a healthy rivalry between devs.

In practice, I found Quarkdown to be a distraction. It was much easier to use plain Markdown as a source of truth to feed (AI-generated) scripts that generate Word and PDF files.

I respect LaTeX, and I'm glad that it exists. But I also hate it. It is not nice to work with. And almost every self-respecting engineer I have ever worked with in Germany has humble-bragged about having published something in LaTeX (usually their CV).

First Tailwind cut back on staff and now 2ality temporarily closing down the blog because hosting costs climbed while book sales dropped over the last two years. I imagine it’s more than just CSS people but any tech author who made their wares available for free model while hoping to make money on optional book sales or follow-up consulting.

My biggest issue with 1password is that all of my passwords were cloud-based. Network failures, identity problems, or executive directives were all factors that could lock me out of all my accounts. Switched to one of the many keepass-compatible solutions a few months ago and never looked back. sovereignty

The Jevons Paradox says efficiency creates more demand, not less. Make legal work cheaper, more people use lawyers, you need more lawyers. Then I read his caveat: "AI is moving faster than all these previous technologies, and when you strain a system more than it's usually strained, you get weird behaviours and big disruption."

Our city’s football club, the VfL Osnabrück, just got promoted from the third league to the second, and the atmosphere here all week has been incredible. I love how effort is rewarded: you had a really good season, you can rise up a level; the owners chronically underfund the team, you can drop a level. That’s why I’ve never really understood the closed major leagues in the US (the old country 🙂), where the teams are basically fixed forever. Where’s the drama? Why monopolies in the land of free markets?

I used to have a MacOS menubar app to do this but have been doing it manually for the last several years. I've been needing something like this for a while.
