I was excited to try out Tailscale but I'm pretty disappointed you can only use it with SSO. Still gonna play with it, just a bit less excited

I've seen a lot of inspiring photography on here recently! It's tempting me to make another account for posting my photos. Maybe it could fill the void Instagram has left, because I have no interest in even opening that app anymore. Would love to have a place to share photos again.

I picked up Titan Quest 2 and I have to say, I'm really enjoying the slower pace compared to something like POE.

Went from wanting to write a run-once-in-a-while script to writing a (basic) task runner system in Gleam. You could say I'm distracted but writing Gleam can be a real joy 😅

Wow, my first experience using Fiverr has been pretty bad.
Can anyone point me towards someone who does logo design work? Looking to get a logo made for a project I'm working on.

Just played a few rounds of the bf6 open beta. It's so good. Definitely some issues but that was the most fun I've had playing a battlefield game in years

I've been thinking about the concept of 'Writing is Thinking' a lot recently. I'm entertaining the idea of starting a technical blog, to document some of the technical solutions I've developed for various projects.

I really want to like neovim but so far my experience has not been great. Mostly just LSP issues. I think I'm sticking with Zed in vim mode

TIL: if you want to move changes from one git branch to another, you can use checkout and pass it the branch and file path 😯 Super handy for splitting PRs up.

I'm a "web dev" and I see a lot of libraries aimed at "web dev" being described as good DX by people online. In my opinion, it's just complexity in a trench coat.
They are cool and useful but I also think that's what contributes to my fatigue with this stuff. Like death by a thousand cuts.
