After eight amazing years at SmartRent, I'm moving on. It's hard to say how much I've enjoyed the people and tech from scrappy startup to now. I now have an opportunity to focus on Nerves and some random ideas I've been wanting to explore forever. Also looking to catch up with Elixir friends again!

Starting a site from scratch with Hugo is so bad. But they offer a single binary and I can ride that binary off into the sunset.

Generating a default site and default theme is an index page with a 404. I will grit my teeth and make it work. I have no shits to give and my wife needs a website.

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

Is there some integrated telemetry UI for Phoenix like Live Dashboard for .. stuff or Tower for errors?

Using the telemetry library and all that?

This post inspired me to write a Typst-based alternative to @derrickreimer.com's OG-Image that you can deploy together with your Phoenix app.

So, introducing: OGI!

Write code to make being human easier. Rip code out if it makes being human harder. Write code to make caring for each other easier. Rip it out if it makes caring for each other harder.

Empathy driven development has literally never failed me. It’s done me better than everything else combined

i set up nextcloud and jellyfin and i'm much happier for it (so far!) i learned about a few sites that sell drm free flacs or mp3s. [Qobuz](www.qobuz.com) and [Bleep](bleep.com) are 100% drm free. i found stuff on boomkat and juno also but they are a mix. if you have other sites, let me know! #drm

Has anyone used browser automation tools to monitor Discord and Slack channels. I'd love to be able to monitor some communities I am in and filter for particular interests, store threads I'm involved in for later reference when they'd usually just be lost to Slack free plan cutoff. No API access.

This is nonsense. I expected better.

Specs are "up to" but price is just stated. But price is actually "as low as". The specs are in other words completely unrelated to the price. The processor upgrade to the one they list costs more than the price they show.
