Bought the PS5 controller. stayed wired for a few days, thought that I need to configure it somehow for Linux or that my BT dongle is bad. turns out I pressed the wrong button combo to put it into the pairing mode 🤦♂️ now it works. Problem was between the keyboard and the chair 🤣

Django: what’s new in 6.0 - Adam Johnson
Django 6.0 was released today, starting another release cycle for the loved and long-lived Python web framework (now 20 years old!). It comes with a mosaic of new features, contributed to by many, some of which I am happy to have helped with. Below is my pick of highlights from the release notes.

Mosh, Tmux and nvim and Tailscale are the best things that happened to my workflow when switching between PC and laptop. Totally seamless, no manual reconnecting and reopening anything.

No app is perfect for everyone. What's ideal for one is useless for another.
(e.g. to-do apps or note-taking apps.)
"Best" is subjective and personal. Your favorite might be my nightmare.
What matters is finding the right fit.
That's why there’s room for 200 competitors.

Got a question about updating technical content on YT.
We all know that technical content must be updated occasionally.
I can update it on the blog. But if I make a video and publish it on YT, I'd need to update it as well.
And ofc an old video should stay because it has been linked/bookmarked.
