One way that worked for me in trying to quit Reddit was to edit /etc/hosts, and redirect it to localhost.

  127.0.0.1 news.ycombinator.com

Limiting my Reddit intake this way actually worked, but I don't feel the need for HN yet.

I am busy rebuilding my music studio with only gear from the late 90s/2000. It's much more fun to relive my youth and with patience less expensive than I thought.

I'm developing a scuba diving app for the Apple Watch Ultra. It's an algorithm and graphical user interface that provides critical real-time information to recreational scuba divers while scuba diving. (Nautosys.com)

Looks promising. Do you have any success stories from using this took?

A tool that makes it easier to run Docker Compose projects on NixOS. It’s essentially a Compose backend that targets a mix of NixOS + systemd + Podman/Docker.

I'm just dipping my toe into the Typescript water, with a rehype plugin that helps me turn markdown into HTML.

The code's done, the yak shaving of packaging it as an npm module continues.

Working on creating Java bindings for io_uring. Trying to get some better performance by batching downcalls and making the API Java friendly.
