Y'all, I need help testing if this implementation of Open Graph images works properly.

If everyone who reads this could send the link to 20 friends and remind them that the next Nerves meetup is on Wednesday that would be soooo helpful 🙏😜

I added it! It was very easy. Hardest part was coming up with a good template haha

Your recommended metatags lib is only Phoenix 1.8+, so I couldn't use it on my Phoenix 1.7 project 🥲 ended up rolling my own since I didn't want to upgrade right now

You beat me to it!! I was just sitting down this morning to add typst-rendered OpenGraph images to my website 😆

I can't believe it's been a month already! Looking forward to hanging out with 30-50 fine folks and talking about Nerves for an hour after work!!

Come hang out with us :)

Looks like an awesome venue!

I saw this last night and was just thinking the same! Typst to PNG could definitely be used for OpenGraph images

I complain a little bit about the punctuality, but I have to admit that I feel lucky to live in a place where there are options for long distance, eco-friendly public transit which is (relatively) clean, safe and affordable

Update: luck was in my favor!

Despite DB’s best efforts (including one cancelled train and rerouting through a different city), I made it home after 9h13m after boarding the train in Berlin this afternoon.

Every time you step on a Deutsche Bahn train after ~2pm, it’s a roll of the dice if you will actually get to your destination on the day you set out

Nice! Looking forward to see the updated design 🤩

It’s a good option to order PCBs in Europe. The only downside is that it’s either a little more expensive or a little slower than ordering from China.

Their assembly offering, however, is not worth it in my opinion. Significantly more expensive and significantly slower than ordering from China

Aisler is great for bare boards, even more so when you don’t have a tight timeline. My 4 layer, 0.8mm, express delivery orders have been around ~€70 the last couple times. And their good quality with ENIG.

You can get it for much less if your need simpler designs or slower turn around.

Ah bummer! Your module is looking really clean.

I’ve had some good luck with pre-ordering parts with JLC lately, if you can tolerate a week or two delay you can give that a try :)

Hahahaha that might be the case 😆

Great deep dive!

I read the whole thing and really enjoyed it, no suffering! Did I do it wrong? 🤔

I’m a huge fan of TDD (talk-driven development).

There’s nothing more powerful than a deadline to to get a project over the finish line 😅

For really really tiny components where I don’t have the proper equipment, I’ve had really good luck by going to a phone repair shop and asking the technician to help me out. They usually have hot air and a good microscope. I got some 0.4mm BGAs re-mounted that way

Even if you can’t make it to @codebeam.bsky.social #CodeBEAM2025 but are in/near Berlin, join these events!

There’s only one spot left! If you’re in Berlin on Monday, sign up for some Nerves fun :)

Indeed. It’s been a bit more than 14 hours and my package already cleared customs at the UPS hub in Germany. Absolutely incredible

It’s not the first time I’ve said this (and I really hope it’s not the last!). But you gotta hand it to the DigiKey logistics department.

“Your order has shipped” email just 1h03m after “your order is confirmed” email.

And it was like 20 different components! With free shipping! And DDP! 👏

This is going to be fun! Come join us :)

You got me all curious about this talk 👀 we will miss you at CodeBEAM!!

You’re absolutely right!

Jk. But actually though, if a company uses a chatbot instead of actual support people then my opinion of them drops 99% instantly

I get that small companies can’t have 24/7 support, but at the very least let me email a human!!

Looking forward to your talk!

Huh. I had no idea. But this is the perfect opportunity to share this fun fact:

A byte is 8 bits, and half of a byte (4 bits) is called a nibble

Your blog posts are always 🤩

Can’t wait for the next one :)

🦥🕺

fuck it.
