Should add some blurb about LDOs i don’t really know what they are

It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

I've asked the team behind Cue to come prepared to discuss the limits of configuration management when dealing with different configuration systems, for example, using Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions to manage a single project, something that occurs more often than you would think.

What was the most difficult item to move? Can be due to size or due to kids or whatever else that may of affected moving

I made a daily word game!

This is sixhints, the goal is to guess a thing through a series of 6 clues that start ambiguous and get more specific as you go.

If this is up your alley, play today's word and let me know what you think! 🔗 sixhints.com

Is someone looping back your messages?

Also I thought you couldn’t tell who sent you messages?

Been playing around with @cuelang.org and building a new home automation system to control my lighting and written up first post about the project still loads of other content to write though!

Big thanks to @myitcv.io @rog.bsky.social @mvdan.cc for all there help

I particularly like it in APIs to represent whether a value is present or not rather than using pointer types

Oh really? What was the reason for that?

Did you try a Philly cheese steak?

Try github.com/samber/mo it might help a bit with missing Result type. I often use this when I want Result types or Option types

Are you still going to push to GitHub or is that over? I kind of rely on GitHub as being a bit of a backup

I'm on Github + Netlify at the moment and similar to you I have a couple of minutes deploy. Be nice to have a fast deploy similar to that. Is the vps git remote the server or Github?

I don't think there are any permissions as it's seen as open for anyone to read and access

Urgh I know this pain too well I had to dig a trench for new mains water supply for my house. Had to bury the pipe 800mm and also needed to core through my foundations. Not a fun experience!

Buggy Apple software! I don’t understand how these bugs are not getting caught before releases

Just upgraded to macOS 26 and it's so buggy!? Since when did Apple's quality drop so much?

What I thought was going on

You need PDRs, RFDs and ADRs. I experience similar problems right now. Were working on adding PDRs and we've started ADRs but not really using them fully just yet

How about a Nokia 3650? 😉

Threw this together quickly, with a bit of AI assisted development 🎉

Can I request support for the iPhone 11? 🥲

Who else is looking for a new browser since Atlassian bought Browser Company?

I was wondering about this for service accounts. Being able to have a bot or service create entries on the atproto for a project I was thinking about

I read that article about ATProto and seeing everyone building and running there own PDS is giving me so many ideas 🧠💡

Does this mean your pds is running on a different domain to your main user?

So once you are on your own PDS your posts just show up on Bluesky? Or have you had to configure something to make it so that it will show up here?
