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 mash…

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 alw…

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 …

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…

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 dr…

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 …

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 li…

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 se…

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…

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 tab…

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 frac…

It takes courage.

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 Reac…

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 …

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 nei…

Maybe they are embracing the "let it crash" mantra?

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 f…

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 stora…

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 l…

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.
