    Ah forgot to mention it in the post. This comes built in by Playwright. Normally, you invoke the test suite by running `npx playwright test`. This fails your test if a screenshot i…

    I only use the built-in diffing by Playwright. It comes with a nice overview page [0] that shows all the failed tests including traces and screenshots. There you have a pixel diff.…

    updown.io also has a relatively new feature called cron monitoring[0] that allows you to regularly check in to signal success. If there has been no check-in in a configured time it…

    I know, but I prefer fair pricing over free in situations like this. There are plenty of stories going around of CF forcing users to upgrade to an enterprise plan due to their usag…

    1€ / TB egress is extremely attractive, though. Most other "budget" providers charge at least 10 - 20$.

    I've been eyeing DuckDB for a metric collection hobby project. Quick benchmark showed promising query performance over SQLite (unsurprising considering DuckDB is column oriented), …

    I built it for myself primarily, some coworkers also started using it. No one has used it without my guidance at this point so I'm not surprised ;) Regardless what you pressed, you…

    I built my own tool: https://go.rest.quest It's a simple flat list of links that you annotate with a description for better search. The killer feature is that it works with Firefox…

    I think you have to be careful not to stretch your learning budget too thin. Coincidentally, I recently started tinkering with embedded as well and decided against using Rust (not …

    Caddy [0] has been an absolute joy to work with. I switched this year from nginx for my sideproject-hosting VPS. Just letting it handle the SSL certs and configuring a static site …

    In a moment of weakness I bought a soldering iron and this kyria kit [0] and soldered my own. I promise it sounds more crazy than it is and I've been very happy with it. [0]: https…

    Is my understanding correct that Affinity Photo doesn't have any photo management capability? If you want to edit a series of images similarly, do you create a custom preset that y…

    I have recently been looking to try some creative coding / generative art. I've found that most libraries focus on interactive or animated applications, whereas I would like to gen…

    Full agree. And further I think frontend complexity has grown quite a bit lately. People love to go on about framework churn etc. when it's just a difficult domain in general. As s…
