well, relearning not to run the kettle when just turning on the dishwasher also taught me that my NAS is on the same circuit, guess I should move it to be plugged in on another breaker before it breaks 😅

borrowed a full-sized Swedish keyboard for the new PC, and I swear, my fingers hurt. Contorting to hit special chars and stretching all over… Ordered a TKL (sans numpad) Keychron with ANSI/US layout and I’ll just figure out how to type Swedish in Windows as well as I do on my mac 😅 now… colemak?

also, very impressed by tailscale and how easy it makes creating my own “enterprise-like WAN” where all my machines can talk to each other. I set it up on the new machine and left it in the coworking space and it’s just accessible now that I’m home if inspiration strikes (work/life balance? pff 😉)

aw hell, switching to a dedicated windows machine cut my iteration time down drastically: browser e2e test went 5m -> 1m. virtualized OS + translation from my arm host to x64 because of old .NET seems to have been quite the culprit for slowness 😅

I’m installing Windows on a new machine for the first time in forever and during installation I had to use my other machine to download drivers so it could connect to the internet and continue. As a mac user it surprises me but I guess it shouldn’t. Maybe this Intel WiFi 7 card is just too new…

Marking the content/ folder for your Hugo site as a “Source Root” in IntelliJ lets you use Path from Source Root to get the path to the file without the content/ prefix you don’t need when linking internally.

three pokes until all blood was collected for tests today, par for getting blood out of my miserly veins. the nurse seemed amused by my warnings that I’m often a difficult case, then a bit relieved afterward that this was normal 😁

I keep getting surprised when overtaken by others while walking here in Sweden. Back in Singapore I was the one overtaking people. Then again, so many Swedes tower over me, and I at least cottaged over people in Singapore 😉

In this devlog I’ll make a change in my n8n POSSE setup, that could’ve taken ~an hour if I kept doing it manually as I had, but instead I spent ~5 hours tidying and removing manual steps for the future.

my brother’s computer was lagging, and after debugging we decided to get more RAM. He tried installing, first time. After booting still only 16gb, he knew it was supposed to click, but it felt like a lot of pressure and it might break…
Went over. Applied pressure. click “oh, that’s all?”

I have been working on automating my POSSE setup, and ended up trying n8n and it has been a great experience, there are so many plugins that it’s mostly just wiring things together.
But, I discovered that despite being within the character limit, one of my URLs were truncated when posting to […]

Apple Notes can evaluate calculations with variables that update as you change them. The variable name has to be “one word,” so usual camelCase or PascalCase will likely do you best.

I have enjoyed doing the daily Explainle.org for the last couple of days. It triggers some of the fun bits of language for me. 🙂
The twist compared to straight up “the opposite of this” is that there are “forbidden words” that you’re not allowed to use, and only 100 characters.

Disposable code is here to stay by Charity Majors.
I like the distinction between disposable and durable code: it’s about whether you try to make the code maintainable or not. Most code when working at a company is durable code, because the outcome when we get it wrong is so high (even if it’s […]

Don’t quote regex patterns in Bash [[ ]] tests, because they’ll match literally.
So the below won’t match because it’s looking for a literal $ in the string, instead of matching at the end of the string:

The regex | (or) operator splits the pattern left or right unless explicitly grouped. Group it using (pattern) if you need to use the match later, or as a non-capturing group (?:pattern) if you do it for clarity.
