New setup, gone from 2x 22" monitors, 1x 34" ultrawide as a bit of an experiment.

Are you a 1x or 2x or more monitor set up kind of person?

They don't leave any other message, think they get confused by the call screening (or the automation does) but can't completely block the call because its an unknown caller id. Getting multiple a day all of a sudden, bloody annoying

I keep getting these nuisance calls thankfully apple call screen stops the phone ringing but keeps triggering the call screening notification but can't transcribe as initially just ring tone is played, sometimes you might get someone in a busy call centre location saying hello...

My experiment with trying an ultrawide monitor isn't going to plan. Bought one monitor, broken on arrival. Found a new monitor to buy when the refund comes through which it did today, monitor I was going to buy shot up in price โ˜น๏ธ

I've been experimenting with AI tools a bit (OpenCode) and MCP. I can see this being useful, I also tried vibe coding a desktop app (a docker desktop replacement that can edit env var and recreate) but vibe coding is so boring compared to actual coding or is that just me

I thought Iโ€™d try experimenting with a single ultrawide monitor instead of 2 22โ€ inch. Found 1 reasonable price, waited over a week to arrive, pulled desk apart put new screen found backlight was broken ๐Ÿ˜ฉ

Although most apps use prisma for an ORM for web apps, sometimes I have C# apps talking to the same DB for background tasks and creating the EF model is slow manual process, so I made a little tool to convert from Prisma schema to C# EF model. Planning to make OSS

Successfully managed to migrate a couple of projects including Test Track to use Turbopack. So much faster, was kind of painful navigating between pages before.

I donโ€™t get why Iโ€™m seeing so many people saying they are leaving next and going to tanstack.

Yes next had a vulnerability so did react. People arenโ€™t moving away from react so why just next. Tanstack isnโ€™t immune from having CVEs published against it in the future.

Am I missing something

Added activity stream when viewing a support ticket for Solve Flow and added a notification system of the activity stream as well. Think I should be ready to start doing the issue tracking now

Finally managed to release the new version today. Took just under a week to complete the migration and do a couple of bug fixes as well.

Been migrating Test Track to use better auth, donโ€™t know why I thought it was going to be quick, taking a lot longer than I expected. Not the fault of better auth though.

If the AWS outage was specific to US-East-1, why did some NHS and gov[.]uk sites go down, surely they are not hosted in the US, they should be in the UK, at the very least be in Europe.

Any recommendations for alternatives to sendgrid. Need email importing as well as sending, I've used mailgun in the past as well, so any other options - cheaper the better

Is anyone else having an issue with MacOS Tahoe where it randomly keeps enabling a location based focus mode, even though I am not in that location? Its only started doing it since my Mac was updated, never did it when the iPhone was updated to iOS26

Thanks for the offer il Iโ€™ve reverted the changes for now, I will revisit at some point and see if I can create a simple reproducible repo for it if I still get the issue in the future.

Successfully migrated from next auth/auth js to better auth on a new project I am working on, need to do it for Test Track at some point but that's going to be a lot more complex

Yea not sure what was happening couldnโ€™t find much about it unfortunately so ended up reverting and going back to webpack.
