Hello, world — I’m building Audiqa I'm starting Audiqa: a local-first audio library manager for people who care about their music. It treats music files as first-class data, built to serve your long-term interests.

Announcing Audiqa — a local-first audio library manager for people who actually care about their music. Your files are first-class data, designed for long-term ownership, not platform lock-in. Now and long-term.

Just published Docker Compose 🐳 configs for some apps missing from the official TrueNAS catalog. Currently Ghost, MailCatcher, Fizzy — all tested and ready to deploy via the TrueNAS Web UI, no more trial-and-error. Contributions are welcome! github.com/attilagyorff...

Just dug up a blog post I wrote in early 2007 about my first steps with #RubyOnRails. Which apparently means I started on Rails 1.2 — a version so old it ran on steam and optimism. URLs barely had REST, I barely had a beard. Wild times. 🫢

The navigation in Apple Music (formerly iTunes) app on macOS is absolutely terrible. It's no outlier in the swarm of "wanting it all" kind of modern music players that pack way too many things ― podcasts, videos and now even DMs (really Spotify?!) ― into their jammed-up UIs. Absolutely disgusting.

Enhanced contribution guide for TrueNAS Apps catalog by attilagyorffy · Pull Request #3772 · truenas/apps Overview This PR significantly enhances the contribution guide to provide a comprehensive, hopefully well-structured resource for both new and experienced contributors to the TrueNAS Apps Catalog. ...

Spent the last few weeks writing a proper contribution guide for the #TrueNAS Apps Catalog. I love the project, but "just look at other apps" wasn’t quite cutting it. 😅

If you maintain OSS, remember: Your docs are your community’s infrastructure.

I should have known actually:)

Nog yourself out! 🤭 Also, am I delusional or the Nog song in the background could actually have been an inspiration for Freezeezy Peak’s amazing song? ❄️⛄️

Every few years I try giving @ghost.org another chance as a feature-rich home for my blog… and, like clockwork, it greets me with a fresh slap in the face. Truly a tradition at this point.

As I've turned 40 today, I find myself thinking more about how I can help build a healthier, more public internet. In this article I argue that real freedom means owning your identity, data, and connections — not just spreading them across more servers.

I don’t think I’d ever said ‘it better be worthwhile’ until today — when a colleague asked for a PR review during my lunch break as I was watching a video about cute beavers 🦫 building a dam the mayor sadly said had to be removed.

At the center of the image is a comet that appears as a teardrop-shaped bluish cocoon of dust coming off the comet’s solid, icy nucleus and seen against a black background. The comet appears to be heading to the bottom left corner of the image. About a dozen short, light blue diagonal streaks are seen scattered across the image, which are from background stars that appeared to move during the exposure because the telescope was tracking the moving comet.

All eyes on comet #3I/ATLAS ☄️

Hubble & Webb have already observed this comet coming from outside our Solar System.

Next up, our Mars Express, ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter and Juice missions will turn their eyes towards it.

It’s great to sometimes work from different places, like from a coffee shop. Coding whilst listening to heavy bass music in your headphones. Oh, and it’s a totally new experience when you realise others are looking at you after you’ve dropped a serious bass face. 😅

Ouch, I hope you’re well now. It’s crazy how reckless some people are on e-scooters. I wonder if they’d be as reckless if they owned them instead of sharing them. Plus, you don’t need a license to ride these (at least not where I live), so many people don’t know the safety rules.

What happened there David? From the video it's unclear whether you've hit a pothole or had been suddenly immobilized by an invisible alien force.

This is legitimately terrifying. Actively conspiracy-addled crackpots are in charge of America's health.

OK, I was expecting things to break when I enabled intrusion detection and I ended up blocking a few services without wanting to (like mDNS)

Next steps:
- Introduce monitoring of essential network services
- Isolate and adjust the rules that block services
- Re-enable Suricata on the local network

Updated my home OPNSense router and its deep packet inspection settings which finally seem to be working just fine.

The EICAR test file was successfully blocked and the alerts show up on the OPNSense UI.

Proton Authenticator: Private, secure 2FA authenticator | Proton Protect your accounts with Proton Authenticator, an end-to-end encrypted, open source, and ad-free two-factor authentication (2FA) app available across devices.

Now that Microsoft Authenticator is gone, @proton.me announced their own secure 2FA app: proton.me/authenticator

I’m happy to see competitive apps being developed in Europe. (Even though Proton is Swiss🇨🇭and not part of the EU 🇪🇺, they share the same foundational values that prioritize privacy)

Performance is about NOT DOING unnecessary things and doing the necessary things only once. I'm building performance monitoring right into the development cycle, the CI provides super fast feedback by heavily relying on the above principles, parallelism, caching. Very happy about the results so far.

Why is nobody talking about the elephant in the room and come clear?! Donkey Kong Bananza is actually a Mario game disguised as a DK adventure. There’s very little that resembles the original game, both in terms of vibe and mechanics.

RIP DK. 😢🍌🦍

Consider sharing with relevant ppl.

ChatGPT now often gives me Rust code examples by default, instead of using more common languages (as it used to). It seems to learn about the user over time, even across separate questions.

YouTube video by GameXplain Yooka-Replayle is a BIG Upgrade! - Full Demo Playthrough! (Gameplay)

Honestly more hyped for Yooka-Replaylee than DK Bananza. @playtonicgames.com seems to have nailed the Rare vibe this time — fixing pacing, polish, and charm. Closest we’ve gotten to that Banjo-era magic in years:

Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see a new DK on Switch 2—but skeptical it’s a real DK game. It’s missing that raw, weighty platforming and rhythm of the classics. Feels more like Mario Odyssey in a DK skin: sandboxy, bouncy, light. Fun maybe—but not the primal DK vibe we crave.

Creative talent was squandered on reboots and canceled projects instead of building on what made Rare iconic: inventive, character-driven worlds with mechanical depth and charm. What could've been a golden revival is now reduced to missed potential and layoffs.

It’s a shame because Rare’s IPs — Banjo-Kazooie, Conker, Jet Force Gemini, Perfect Dark — could have flourished on Switch 2 with Nintendo’s platformer legacy and fanbase. Instead, Microsoft buried them under live-service priorities and mismanaged vision.

Rare’s future at Xbox looks bleak: canceled games, narrowed scope. Licensing IPs back to Nintendo fits culturally — but with the Switch 2 & a new DK on the way, Nintendo may not need legacy revivals. A full sale of Rare is quite unlikely; partial collab is the only realistic path.

We’ve been drinking green #tea for years — it basically replaced soda at home. Tomorrow I’m trying cold brew with the #Japanese kōridashi (氷出し) method: slow ice-water steeping. Less bitterness, less caffeine, more umami (that deep, savory taste). Can’t wait. 🍃🫖🧊

To keep the focus, I will be making performance testing and monitoring a first class priority as part of the development cycle.
