And the sound looping with the filter cycling on and off when things went sideways. Good times...

It really is. It's extremely handy albeit a bit niche these days.

It's not the LoC I care about, it's the logical separation of concerns and testability. Large functions usually do many things which makes them really hard to test. Also, just mashing all the things in a single function is indicat

The concept is called content negotiation. We used to do this when we wanted to serve our content as XHTML to clients preferring that over HTML. It's nice to see it return as I always thought it was quite cool.

This is interesting and very timely for me. Just this week I was building a small Go system that uses SQLite. I needed to cross-compile it for FreeBSD on a Mac and ran into issues with CGO. The easiest fix seemed to be to switch from a CGO

I personally really like Bastille for jail management. It's way more ergonomic than creating jails by hand and allows you to focus on the stuff running in the jails rather than the jails themselves.

Unfortunately not. It was quite the setup! The A600 had a built-in dock for a hard drive but the turbo took its place. I ran a long ATA cable through the PCMCIA slot and had the drive just sit on the table next to the computer. The turbo al

Exactly. Commodore made a mistake when they introduced it but I loved mine to bits! After owning it for about a year I upgraded it with a 68030 turbo (incl. 4 megs of fast mem, an FPU and an MMU) and a 4 gig IBM Travelstar HD. The upgrade m

I had a Teal Indigo2 for a few years about 15 years ago. I loved it! It had the cool feet that let you prop it up sideways so you could have it in tower mode. The feet had these little scoops embedded in them so the machine could more effec

I just want to inform you that the pricing section is effed up. It talks about FramerBite pricing - which I guess is the thing you used to throw this landing page together. That seems very low effort and I would estimate the output metric o

Damn, this is pretty good: https://song.do/play_music/0634c077e5ff3a79746a6e7a4a3f414d?... The pompt was: "Menacing New York style rap piece about the dangers of carrots". It kinda delivered!

Regarding the tab management issue referenced in the post, I really could not use a browser without Tree Style Tab. Paired with Tridactyl, it makes tab management and switching tabs a breeze. I don't know if Chrome or any other browser

If it's a FreeBSD VPS you're after, I'd suggest you give UpCloud a chance. I'm currently running a few FreeBSD VPSs on UpCloud and I have not run into any issues. It's kinda great!

+1 for Lando. We used to rely on a bunch of shell scripts based on Docker4Drupal but it was such a PITA to maintain. Lando provides essentially the same customizability with a fraction of the hassle of our previous solution.

Yeah, it's a right pain to deal with non-Elm things in Elm (including JSON data sources). It's possible but you will want to avoid it. However, I think I'd still take Elm over React if I didn't have to care about anyone

I've always loved Matchbox because they made mundane, everyday cars that you could see on the streets. I know I'm in the minority with my love for the ordinary cars, but even as a child I would have much rather played with a Ford

A few months ago we switched from a small dark blue hatchback to a bigger silver grey SUV. At the time I didn't really think about the color. Then I had a conversation with our neighbour and he pointed out that silver grey is an excell

UpCloud is rather fantastic for what they offer. Of course, it's no AWS or GCP, but for my needs UpCloud has been just about perfect.

Yup. That’s my experience, too. Also, on macOS the client UI is horrible. It’s slow and I’ve yet to find a way to open local files that it displays in the list of recently synced files.

It may be a regional thing but I have never heard ”bit rot” refer to legacy code. In the retro computing circles bit rot refers to hardware defects (usually floppies or other storage media) caused by cosmic rays or other environmental hazar

I had a Samsung washing machine a few years ago. It had a button to toggle sounds on/off. Unfortunately, I still wanted some notification when the cycle finished so I just had to leave the sounds on. I kind of grew to like it but my oc

I'd suggest you give Forestry ( https://forestry.io ) a try. It's a great CMS for static sites (incl. asset management) and it has a really nice preview system.

Blocking events until they are handled by the tracker's event queue is quite a common problem when using PiHole. It would be nice if those event handlers were registered using Google Tag Manager as it would mean that those event hander

Oh yes! OpenSUSE Tumbleweed has been really excellent. It’s very polished and quite an easy thing to set up.

Reminds me of the music video for Star Guitar by the Chemical Brothers: https://youtu.be/0S43IwBF0uM The game looks really beautiful and I would not have guessed it’s running on Pico-8. Wonderful!
