We all need to band together and create a line of appliances that have real buttons, just work, and no IoT crap (or if it has any networking for things like status or remote control, it's local first, and not required for any functionality).

The president got his feelings hurt, so we're doing 10% more tariffs on Canada. Joke of an administration.

A new open source project I've been working on the last month is called Jailman. It's a FreeBSD Jail management tool very similar to Linux container tools like Docker and Podman. Supports Containerfile format. Alpha quality, check it out: sr.ht/~matthewp/ja...

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.
Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.
We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.

No stats on the scores I’m afraid. Like most stuff I build these days, there’s no tracking of any kind on it. It’s a static site (in this case just a single index.html), and only reaches out to its own domain.
The share text could be search and results compiled if you really wanted to though :)

I scored 8/28 on jsdate.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.
I guess....not horrible considering I write JS once very 100th blue moon or so.
@samwho.dev : curious if you have stats on the scores :D

I made the mistake of looking at the comments on the latest video.
There's something about people fixated on edge cases and refusing to look holistically at their situation in order to assess their actual needs which frankly hurts my soul.

It's time for another electric vehicle charging video.
Too many people believe EV charging solutions require expensive, huge electric circuits (or worse: service upgrades).
The really high-power ones people tend to go with can be a headache, but there are many other options!

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans
