Gave my „about me“ page an overhaul for the first time in years.

Now I realise that it doesn’t even mention HomeLab or that I self-host stuff for myself and for clients 🫠

Well, anyhow, here’s a bit about me: fubits.dev/about/

Got a tip last night that GitHub is moving all of its infra over to Azure. Ideally within the next year. It's such a priority for the company, with its own data center resource-constrained, that it will delay feature development to get that done ASAP. thenewstack.io/github-will-...

GitHub Will Prioritize Migrating to Azure Over Feature Development

GitHub is working on migrating all of its infrastructure to Azure, even though this means it'll have to delay some feature development.

At first the Discord hack didn’t seem that bad because it was initially the third party help desk.

But then you find out they had got there age verification data. Come to find out they got 1.5 TB of government id and age verification data. This is going to become a case against age verification.

If something makes the effort to mention Svelte, I add it to my backlog of things to explore. Thanks!

The easiest way to show your newsroom is actually thinking about AI isn't the 50th summarization tool or chatbot. It's automating the jobs people don't want to do.

Like, bluesky's favourite: alt text!

Thanks man. I’m helping an NGO migrate / relaunch their website with almost 10 years of content (500+ pages). I think I’ll give something like that a shot. Your prompt is very helpful!

Nice one! Your feature is hitting Gemini, right?

Screenshot of the feature on Matt‘s website. Someone uploaded a screenshot of Vercels CEO sitting in a TV studio and the alt tag generator did a good job describing him.

and you can try to set the cache control header in the server load function like here in the examples (but to 0ms) developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/W...

Window: fetch() method - Web APIs | MDN

The fetch() method of the Window interface starts the process of fetching a resource from the network, returning a promise that is fulfilled once the response is available.

Cache it's certainly possible tho I didn't run into any CF issues recently.

It also depends a bit on where the cache is hit (server-fetch <-> API or client <-> server or server-worker). One way to find out is to inspect the response headers.

actually I just redeployed without making any changes apart from package updates and it still works.

So new hypothesis: are you deploying from `dev` branch?
You can define that in settings / build / Branch control
