circleci’s “rebuild with ssh” feature spoiled me. I wish all other ci systems would copy it

I am so many years late to this, but I just made a Bandcamp account. It’s so refreshing to spend some money, receive FLAC files, and have something you know isn’t going to disappear or become unplayable tomorrow.

Breaking news: The FA to phase out VAR in favour of LET and CONST

Picture of some people in the England crowd at the England vs Spain final of Euro 2025. Two of them are holding up a sign that says “Bangers & Mash > Chorizo”.

sometimes a picture captures your country’s culture better than you could ever manage with words 😆

ENG vs ESP

Bit unfair for the Lionesses - the whole opposing team have ESP

Computing is a weird place in 2025.

I feel deeply excited about it (both building and playing with new tech) and at the same time I feel like I'm in an endless standoff with every app and service, waiting for it to do something irritating enough that I have to chuck it out and find a replacement.

Yep. I think we (society) need some form of counter pressure against this puritanical bullshit, but the idea that itch had a choice here is fantasy.

An in-game render of Ozzy Osbourne, with the logo for Brutal Legend and text that reads, "Free for the next 666 minutes" and the itch.io logo in the bottom right corner

To honor Ozzy's larger-than-life rock and roll legacy, we're making Brütal Legend *FREE* on itch.io: doublefine.itch.io/brutal-legend

But this incredible deal will only last for 666 minutes, as the prophecy foretold. So get yourself clicking, before it disappears like a demon in the night...

Screenshot of the UI you get when you go through those menu options, showing "Who can see my phone number" set to "Nobody" and "Who can find me by my number" set to "My contacts".

Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Phone Number

Hmm, are they discovering you by phone number?

The default settings around that feature feel like they'd make it easy to enumerate accounts, particularly with how many data leaks contain people's phone numbers.

If you're happy to go username-only you might be able to cut some spam out.

Claude Code in 2027: I see the problem! The last LLC I created committed tax fraud. Let's create another one and add the appropriate checks to make sure this doesn't happen again.

Two radio group UI options. The option for "Amazon Elastic Block Storage" in a normal box and the one for "PlanetScale Metal" in container that looks like an NVMe SSD.

Yep. I’m a much bigger fan of locking an account (if possible) and just not logging in again for exactly this reason.

oh tbc I live in north london. just love walking around town

Another photo of the Thames at night, a little further along so that the trees aren’t obscuring the south bank. St Paul’s is on the left and the OXO Tower is on the right.

a decade since I moved here and these sights still make me feel giddy

Photo taken at night time, looking out from the south bank of the Thames (near the National Theatre), along the river towards St Paul’s.

I fucking love it here
