Been missing the good ol' Unsplash Chrome extension since it was retired. Just found Minim today and it's gorgeous: github.com/avinayak/minim ✨ Thanks @a.tulv.in! 🙌

Public service announcement: *every* bash script should begin with the following lines. There are no exceptions. This is particularly true if you *think* you have found an exception. You haven't. Don't do it.

Anyone in the Linux + Apple ecosystem has a better alternative? Here you can find some other ideas: getoffpocket.com

Anybox looks great, but bookmarks can only be added from Apple devices. GoodLinks has a simple Chrome extension to add bookmarks on any platform, is affordable, imports from Pocket, syncs with iCloud, and exports to JSON. Both only let you read on Apple devices, but that's fine by me

First it was the ol' good del.icio.us, and now #Pocket is shutting down. So here we go again, looking for a new home. After a quick Saturday morning search, #GoodLinks and #Anybox are my top picks 🤓

Anyone got a good alternative to Pocket as a read later / stash a copy of an article tool?

I've added an #MCP server to varnishmon, enabling #LLM agents to query collected metrics 🤖 Honestly, I have no idea why anyone would actually want to do this—LLMs are unpredictable at best—but hey, someone had to kick off the #vibemonitoring trend 🙃 Some details in github.com/allenta/varn...

No one knows what the hell an AI agent is | TechCrunch AI agents are all the rage. But no one knows exactly what an agent is, partly because companies define them radically differently.

For no particular reason (masochism?), we've revamped varnishmon's UI from espagueti #JavaScript to #React. It's a toy UI, but it should handle 1k-2k live time-series per page smoothly. Do I know anyone with real JavaScript chops to take a look and tell me how bad it is, especially the React part?

Esta ola de turra con que "hay que dar la batalla en X" por parte de Los Auténticos Izquierdistas no la vi venir. No sé, cari, deja que la gente haga lo que le dé la gana. No busques excusas guerreras si parte de tu bisnes viene de ahí. Asume tus contradicciones. Y sobre todo, no seas PLASTA.

There is no public release of the library yet, but so far it has proven to be a seamless drop-in replacement 💃🏻

The Redis module for Varnish has been around for a decade, aiding in use cases like paywalling & request prioritization at the caching edge. Due to recent Redis licensing drama, I want to introduce its sibling, the Valkey VMOD, based on the upcoming libvalkey library: github.com/carlosabalde... 🎂

Yesterday, I dedicated the day to writing server-side JavaScript because, well, someone has to pay the mortgage. I can tolerate Python, enjoy both Go and C, and loved Erlang in a previous life. I’m curious about Rust and Zig, but JavaScript? That 💩 always brings me to tears
