Turns out, you can do wonderful things with pure Blade + Alpine Ajax. No need for JS frameworks at all.

Last week I had to send back the Unifi Express 7. I have both the UE7 and the Dream Router 7 (this one is connected to 1Gbps internet), and Internet works much better at home now that the UE7 is not there anymore.
Hope the replacement unit will make it better.

Since I plan to move to Linux full time in 2026 (desktop is already on it, laptop is not), I will not use external tools to automate stuff. I've just setup auto upload of screenshots to GDrive with bash scripts. It works really well.

Great analysis of how and why tech billionaires (or even millionaires - check in the Ruby world) tend to be more extreme and radical over time.

Apparently, the path in the software industry is that once you become rich, you inevitably adopt far-right ideologies disguised as 'progress for humanity'.

After using Kagi for a while, I decided it was not for me. Its promise to make search better conflicts entirely with the fact that Kagi uses Google behind the scenes.
I've been using Duckduckgo instead exclusively for the last 9 months and it's been amazing. Not using something else. Just works.

iOS 26 will be the last iOS I'll use. I'll wait for my iPhone to die, then never buy from this company again. Same for the laptop. Their software truly are becoming atrocious.

So confused by this. What's the point of posting this apart from publicly accepting the current situation?
Also, Twitter really is a piece of shit place where everything that was once shameful now is the standard. This is sad.

Well. It's still 100x less toxic than Twitter, but still lacks the people I look up to the most, unfortunately.

Great library to implement search locally on any content website.
It basically indexes your (mostly static) site on build time and gives you a bundle that you include on deploy.
There has to be a use-case in one of my projects so I can try it.

Pagefind | Pagefind β Static low-bandwidth search at scale
Pagefind is a fully static search library that aims to perform well on large sites, while using as little of your usersβ bandwidth as possible, and without hosting any infrastructure.

Same here. « Back in the early daysΒ Β» of Inertia, I didnβt find useForm elegant and I just got used to reach for Axios instead. Perhaps I should reevaluate my choice here.

Since many of my computers are doing nothing at home, they are now running the @foldingathome.org project to help science.
It allows you to donate your computerβs idle processing power to scientific research.
If all my machines can help, yours probably can too.

Yes. Thank you. As a very casual player it takes me ages to farm the components I need for the helmet my builds require.

It's too sad to see that the main people that I love in the Laravel community decide to remain on Twitter, this horribly toxic place.
In a heartbeat they could move the entire community on Bluesky instead.

These are a bunch of new CI checks I've added to one of my new project.
It's really fun, and also really useful.
For instance, I have this check that makes sure all translation files are complete and no translations is missing.
