I just added my site to the list. Cool stuff!

It's pretty rad.

I hate computers so much. Only 10 minutes into the day, and already dealt with two bullshit problems.

• Volume control was not working on MacBook Pro laptop. Restarting the machine fixed the problem.
• Airfoil couldn't connect to a Satellite. Restarting Airfoil fixed the problem.

If that was the first 10 minutes, I imagine by the 4th hour I'll have put all of these cursed machines directly into the trash.

New dumb thing I think I'll start, #typos. First up...

udpate

I do this so fucking much.

Two of my nerdiest interests together in one blog post.

The earring is never wrong.

SpaceX fell 16%

I’m sure this will be fine.

I find myself going to the MDN page for HTTP status codes regularly enough that I thought a nice little table of the codes could be helpful. I'm sure something like this exists, but after approximately 26 seconds of searching for it, I gave up, and now the world is cursed with this.

ASCII Aquarium turns your Cheap Yellow Display into an tiny animated ASCII fish tank. It renders a live aquarium scene with animated fish, bubbles, swaying seaweed, tap-to-feed food flakes, occasional octopus & seahorse visitors, selectable backgrounds, preferences, optional Wi-Fi clock sync, & More!

Seems like a good use of under $20.

We're very good at making the loops run faster.

We're not so good at stopping them.

We're very dumb monkeys.

Might need to switch out Readability for this. Seems cool. HT to Matt Birchler. He's making a new "read later" service and using this to parse the content out of pages.

I made a dumb thing with the robots because of something Josh said, and that I'd been wanting for chatting on IRC.

Uptime Kuma is an easy-to-use self-hosted monitoring tool.

Also definitely giving this a try. H/T to Joshtronic

An open-source & self-hostable alternative to Vercel, Heroku, Netlify and Railway for easily deploying websites, databases, web applications and 280+ one-click services to your own server.

I'll definitely be giving this a go.

A lovely typeahead component by Florian Schulz. HT to Marcin Wichary for sharing. And the "screenshots" are interactive!! Very cool stuff here.

Good read. Learned that I don't need chalk if I want fancy colors in my console output.

David Bushell just got a new subscriber to his blog with this brilliant post.

On MacOS, you can very easily change app icons. I was toying around with that, getting rid of squicles in Tahoe, and figured it would probably be pretty easy to get a robot to make an app to do that for me. To that end, with a lot of help from the robots, I have created "Ico...

HT to BoingBoing for this delightful video.

From Louie Mantia:

Playing Nintendo games—even just using Nintendo Switch 2 software—makes me wish macOS was flooded with lots of interface sound effects. For clicking down, up, resizing windows, minimizing windows, zooming windows, dragging windows, clicking buttons...

Agreed. I miss all the fun sound effects (and nicer UI) from the good old days.

IRC, anyone?

HT to Eric Schwarz for introducing me to Luigi by way of this excellent post. I immediately subscribed to his RSS feed and I'm looking forward to seeing what he has to say in the future.

I added an RSS icon in the footer. I stole it from LMNT. It looks slick as hell.

Maybe I'll switch back later, but for now I've jumped ship to #Waterfox because of all the #AI garbage coming to #Firefox. It's been about a week and I'm really loving it.

I saw this a couple weeks ago and while the name is undeniably horrible, I thought it looked so slick. So I took an old 2013 #MacBook Pro, threw #Arch on it, and here I am, a couple weeks later writing code, pushing updates to things, and really loving the tiling window manager life.

Some cool stuff in here I might have to try, like VIM-ing out my whole OS.

Relay chat server in Bun. Yes, I know about IRC, but I just wanted to do something fun and goofy.

Good old goofy fun for your deskotp.

Let it snow! Last year Developer Simon Støvring released Festivitas, a delightful app that lets you adorn your Mac’s Dock and Menu Bar with holiday lights.…
