This is wonderful news, better, faster, stronger.

TLDR ex_cldr will become localize and avoid long compilation

Localize - next generation localisation (ex_cldr v3.0)
Localize is the next generation localisation library for Elixir. Think of it as ex_cldr version 3.0. The first version will be released before the end of March 2026 and is under active development. ...

Wilhelm II is as far back as the school knowledge that I still remember extends. I'm sure we also covered Wilhelm I and others during history classes, but I can only remember Wilhelm II given his role in WW1

Which Europe-based Domain Registrar do you have good experiences with?

I'm looking into European alternatives to all the US-based services I'm using. Already signed up for the @proton.me business suite to replace Dropbox and 1Password. Will also move my Fastmail email there.

As a German with only school knowledge about it, the only thing I know about Kaiser Wilhelm II is that he was the last Kaiser of Prussia&Germany and abdicated after WW1. I have neutral feelings about him.

Maybe, but I’ll only get 32GB and upgrade once RAM is affordable again

Built Mesh — a capability-based virtual process system for Elixir.

Mesh shards processes across the cluster using consistent hashing and routes calls deterministically to the correct node based on declared capabilities.

Really? It worked well for me. Are you using Opus 4.5?

If you want to stay up to date on GCE26, head to the website and add your name to the list! www.gigcityelixir.com

Target conference time is Fall of 2026. Our usual venue is moving and the new one is under construction. We are looking forward to gathering in the new location!

Happy New Year!

What do you have then? Give me some inspiration! 😄

Yes, ECC is a requirement for me. Just in case.

God damn it you're right! :D My mistake. Now I want a refurbished Dell T440 for the same price ... these decisions get stressful! :D

If you think “doing” taxes is hard, try implementing them! Especially multi-tiered taxes with thresholds. You’ll have so much fun, you’ll cry!

My book is #1 on Amazon!

Proving once again that you can be #1 in anything, as long as you control the denominator.

It looks good but

1) it’s consumer hardware, not server which I’ve learned is a big difference when it comes to longetivity of your hardware under low-to-medium but continuous use

2) it has non-upgradeable RAM which is a no-no for me. I wanna replace parts in the future

Haha! Well of course that’s the only reason I’m buying all this stuff! For the blog! It’s research!
January 9, 2026 at 8:42 AM
But any early learnings you’d like to share?
January 9, 2026 at 8:41 AM
Oh, I bought a whole windows laptop for that use case once 😄
January 9, 2026 at 8:41 AM
I don’t think I can get 25 Gbit but i have 1 Gbit which is plenty for my use cases

Electricity should negligible. It says it can handle 100W continuously but average power consumption is probable more like 40-80W which is around 15€/mo with Dutch prices (~28ct/kWh). So no problem at all.

The noise is also minimal, so I can run it in my apartment without risking my relationship

I could start with a tiny 32GB SO-DIMM DDR5 and 2TB NVMe SSD and add another 32GB RAM and reduntant SSDs once the prices are sane again. That should put me at around 1600€. Crazy, but that’s approx. what I spend per year on cloud hosting. At least this way I get to keep the hardware.

I’m sloooowly warming up to this setup: the Minisforum MS-02 Ultra with an Intel Ultra 9 285MHX (24C/24T). It’s waaaaay overpowered for my use-case and twice as much as I wanted to spend BUT - hear me out - it has plenty of room for ✨expansion✨
