Hyper-V install script · basecamp omarchy · Discussion #1580 What do you need? Before trying Omarchy on real hardware, I decided to kick the tires using Hyper-V. I believe many other Windows users will follow a similar adoption path. I created the following ...

If you, like me, first want to try it on an existing Windows box, without committing a physical machine just yet, here is a fully automated Hyper-V script I created that you can use to set everything up: github.com/basecamp/oma...

I've started kicking the tires of Omarchy, an exciting new Linux distro by @dhh that's like nothing you've seen before! It's not quite there yet for my workflows with IntelliJ, but it's looking very promising!

Using modern compressed RAM disks is such a joy! I moved almost all our internal builds over and they now run 10-20% faster, with just this simple change! The only ones left out are our image builds which really need a disk as they literally use hundreds of GiBs of temp storage!

Those are some seriously large GitHub Actions runners! I am happy we managed to get these into your hands within 48 hours of AWS announcing them 🎉

We already moved some of our own builds to ap-south-1. With this using Sprinters is now a whopping 89% cheaper than GitHub Actions without even using spot instances!

Working with Kotlin, @jooq.org and IntelliJ? Do yourself a favor and upgrade to IntelliJ 2025.1.2 right now to finally fix all jOOQ-related slowdowns and make it usable in K2 mode!

GitHub - tembo-io/pgmq: A lightweight message queue. Like AWS SQS and RSMQ but on Postgres. A lightweight message queue. Like AWS SQS and RSMQ but on Postgres. - tembo-io/pgmq

If you're using PostgreSQL and need a message queue, check out PGMQ github.com/tembo-io/pgmq

We've had great results with it for @sprinters.bsky.social. Pure SQL, tx integration and thank to my PR, it can now be installed without creating extension (great for RDS, Cloud SQL, ...)

Upgraded already! Worked like a charm, as expected, and I could remove 3 workarounds we had in place for 3.19 in @sprinters.bsky.social 🎉

I made a mistake in my changed build and 1.16.1 now offers the actual support for this.

After months of beta testing, I am excited to announce our new product: Sprinters

Run GitHub Actions jobs 10x cheaper by changing 1 line in your workflow yml

Like I did for Flyway, we focussed on simplicity, security and no-brainer pricing.
