Came to say this lol

I do very much appreciate that Valve's latest hardware announcement is just like - hey, here's some cool shit for games!

No AI bullshit, no metaverse web3 nonsense. Just - hey, here's a better version of our shit.

Screenshot of the top of a Bsky feed, with a red circle around the hamburger menu in the top left.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

DHH and Omarchy: Midlife crisis Couple weeks ago Cloudflare announced it would be sponsoring some Open Source projects. Throwing money at pet projects of random techbros would hardly be news, but there was a certain vibe behind them...

Oof. blogs.gnome.org/alatiera/202...

Mamdani DJ a little too eager to play the dhoom theme. Don’t blame them, it’s a banger

But… but… what about my Conways law???!!!

The FastMCP Client - FastMCP Programmatic client for interacting with MCP servers through a well-typed, Pythonic interface.

In Claude you could call it by mentioning the tool name specifically in your prompt.

Outside of Claude you will need to build a client with something like the fastmcp client class gofastmcp.com/clients/client

Wouldn’t you want to see why it failed before retrying?

rip neurodivergent folks or if you have a strong hearing

I would go insane in this environment

If you haven’t read it, the mom test was a great read on the topic of getting feedback and validation

Mobile robot and simple don’t go together in my mind 😄

What are you working on?

AWS was pretty successful based on how Monday’s events

Hugops to everyone dealing with the aws outage.

I’m actively struggling with this so much. There is very cool, interesting tooling evolving rapidly that’s useful. But, yeah the inputs to get there seem awful.

Thanks for posting this, I feel like we are missing a more nuanced discussion around this.

Took me a couple of hours to figure out how to publish to my own blog (lol lmao), but finally published this prodlog.xyz/posts/hittin...

um. its been so long since i blogged i forgot how to publish to it

If you spend time in the terminal, try bat, a replacement for cat (yes, I know that sounds utterly deranged)

It adds syntax highlighting and Git integration, but still works like cat in when piped with other programs.

Alias it to cat! Great for peeking at readmes, code, logs, etc

Solution was to create a new ssl context (not reuse the default) and then add the cert to it. I’ll write up a blog post on this tomorrow

CircuitPython Note: SSL Root CAs - Len’s Stuff

Came across this blogpost for adding a cert to the ssl context lenp.net/dev/cp-ssl-c...

But I think this only supports one cert? I’m confused about how to make it support multiple certs 😭

Working on a project with a @pimoroni.com pico plus 2w that needs to access APIs at multiple domains.

I am seeing that circuitpython might have issues with accessing multiple https websites on the same program… does anybody have workarounds for this?

Ah I’m exactly the opposite lol. I use the chemex exclusively for iced coffee.
But brown sugar simple syrup sounds delicious, gotta try that

But it makes the best cup! 😀

My neighborhood tech meetup started a 5-week sprint for personal projects.
It’s been great meeting every Thursday to share progress, swap ideas, and get inspired by what everyone’s building.

Great motivator! I’ve caught myself coding late on Wednesdays just to have something to demo 😅

I would fire the legal team and product manager for not expecting something this fundamental. Clear lies.

Also would love to get connected with PMs you have enjoyed working with!

I want to write about how developers can collaborate better with folks they work with regularly.

Starting with product managers. I would love to chat with you if you’re a PM

Oh yeah I wouldn’t have caught this until later without unit tests. Write your unit tests kids!

My coding clanker hallucinated about a very basic method for Django transactions. I then had to spend more tokens fixing its lie. Feels like a scam
