Book Review: To Have or to Be?

The Frankfurt School has a special place in history. It’s an object of hatred for both ends of the political spectrum. Leftists, especially Marxists, hate them for diluting revolutionary thought and creating a version of the Left that is “compatible” with the capitalist ruli...

Using passkeys means I don't have to remember passwords, and it's faster to log in this way!

Also great for when you use a dummy profile to log into a video conference app for presentation 👀

ตั้งแต่ใช้ passkeys ชีวิตคือดี ไม่ต้องคิดเยอะเวลาต้อง log in กดปุ่มเดียว แตะ security key แล้วเข้าได้เลย

โดยเฉพาะตอนต้อง present แล้วต้องแชร์จอ ก็ใช้ dummy user profile แล้วใส่ passkey ทีเดียวจบ ไม่ต้องจำ password

Using git worktrees to avoid stashing

git worktree add ../hotfix main checks out a second working copy of the repo in a sibling directory, sharing the same .git history. Handy for jumping onto a hotfix without stashing whatever you’re mid-way through.

Markdown makes learning HTML less scary

#julyreply A post by Adam Newbold about how to ensure your website is portable had me thinking about how I sometimes do exactly what he advocates — upload HTML files to a server. Hardcore IndieWeb: Run your own website 100% independently for only $0.01/day The idea is that y...

@wjmaggos@liberal.city it doesn’t have that… At most if a lot of different instances existed, and were interlinked you would have distributed reach, can that be called social media boost? I don’t know… So yes currently #RSC is a social network with integrated RSS feeds, literally made for small communities with specific topics… Albeit it could also be used in different ways

Scripting News Valid

Today we have our first example app for WordPress. We started with an app I wrote that keeps scripting.com in sync with daveverse.org, which is a WordPress site.

Scripting News Valid

Way back in March as I was starting to work with Claude Code, I think -- we put together a pretty nice outliner that is remarkably feature-rich. I barely remember doing this. It's what got me moving in this direction, and next month we started doing what became rss.chat.

Scripting News Valid

I wonder if it makes sense to try to implement standard.site in the context of rss.chat?

Softcore First, Hardcore Eventually: A Ladder for the IndieWeb

Responding to Adam Newbold's 'Hardcore IndieWeb' guide, I argue for a ladder approach to joining the IndieWeb. Rather than choosing between easy platforms and full technical independence, people should climb rungs progressively. Start with BearBlog or Pika, learning hand-coded HTML, then move to static site generators when ready. This applies progressive disclosure to onboarding, avoiding the curse of knowledge that makes experts skip beginner-friendly steps.

Just finished The Expanse for the third time. Realized that the inners of today are Silicon Valley and the Belters, that’s the web.

Exploring Kubernetes

Deployments

How Kubernetes Deployments manage ReplicaSets to scale, self-heal, and roll out zero-downtime updates — the resource you actually create in production.

Exploring Kubernetes

Jobs and CronJobs

Run tasks to completion instead of forever — database migrations, scheduled backups, and batch processing with Kubernetes Jobs and CronJobs.

Exploring Kubernetes

Health Checks and Probes

Liveness, readiness, and startup probes — what each one actually controls, the HTTP/TCP/exec mechanisms behind them, and the classic mistake that turns a database hiccup into a crash loop.

Exploring Kubernetes

ReplicaSets Under the Hood

What a ReplicaSet actually does, why Deployments manage them instead of Pods directly, and how to debug one when Pod counts don't match what you expect.

Exploring Kubernetes

Resource Requests and Limits

Requests and limits explained the way they actually behave in the kernel — including why CPU limits throttle pods whose average usage graph looks perfectly fine.

Good work! Both the explainer and the implementation! I’m using indiekit which basically comes with IndieWeb batteries included! https://rmendes.net and I’m working to get it implemented on RSC https://rsc.rmdes.be

I continued the pending repair work in the new apartment. Last week’s focus was mostly electrical infrastructure which by the way is something I understand but find horrifying, compared to water infrastructure which I don’t understand and find boring. I’ve finished 2/3 of Er...
