I make websites and rave about European 🇪🇺 tech. Creator of https://cubingcontests.com
Implemented #Supabase Cron with my website for daily backups. Aaand yet again it was super tricky, as it typically goes with #selfhosting Supabase, haha. Worth it in the end though. I also reported a bug, so hopefully that'll be fixed and the next person won't have such a hard time.

I promised I'd share my final #deployment setup, so here it is. I ended up replacing #Nginx + Certbot with just Caddy. This simplifies my setup, especially SSL (Caddy does it automatically). And I did not compromise on security; even made it better... (1/2)

Set up #Supabase Storage on my website last weekend. As it usually goes with Supabase #selfhosting, this wasn't exactly straightforward, but I'm really happy with the results. (1/2)

This week I FINALLY finished a huge update for my website after 1 year of development 😱 It was mostly on-and-off, but with a few stretches of continuous hard work. This resulted in a complete rewrite of the backend (❌ Nest JS API ✅ #NextJS server functions)... 1/2

Had a bit of a look into TanStack Start, and it really does look great! There are things I really wasn't a fan of with #NextJS like the lack of validation on server functions or lack of type safety on URL params, and... (1/2)

I think I have a new favorite setup for #selfhosting websites. I used to configure #Nginx and Let's Encrypt (with Certbot) manually on my #Linux servers, and then I also tried out a #Docker Compose setup with an Nginx and a Certbot container. (1/2)

Finished migrating all the features on my website (cubingcontests.com) that I was planning to. Now I just need to deploy the new infra and we're ready for release, finally after almost one year!

If we're allowing anti-EU parties in the #EuropeanParliament, maybe when the aliens come down to Earth, we should also give them a permanent seat in the UN Security Council 👍

Alright, fine, I'll just learn #Playwright. Will probably significantly reduce my headaches from testing frontend code.

I think every testing library should come with a 12 gauge shotgun, just in case you need to blow your brains out real quick.

I've been getting more and more bored of YouTube lately, increasingly leaning more towards reading. Maybe I'm starting to get old, haha. Next thing you know, I'll be playing golf every weekend and become completely incapable of opening my email.

I'm nearing the release of my big website update (cubingcontests.com), but a part of me is dreading it, because I KNOW after an update this big, bugs are bound to be found. I did cover it with more tests, but that's not the same as real world use. Fingers crossed 🤞

I think I'll do #freelance #webdev as my next job. It's a competitive market out there rn, but I'm confident I can find ways to stand out, build a solid brand and a list of clients. I'd just love to do my own thing rather than keep chugging away doing office work.

Finally made a YT video after over a year of no uploads. In this one I talk about a massive update I've been working on, rewriting the backend of my website for Rubik's Cube competitions.

Tried out Zed editor for coding for a little while, but yet again came to the conclusion that VS Code is still the best. I know it's not optimized and often has extension issues, but it's just hard to beat its ecosystem benefits, plus it's easier to troubleshoot.

I'm getting closer and closer to finally finishing a massive update I started on my website cubingcontests.com back in February. What started as an auth library migration soon ballooned into a complete rewrite of the backend, ... (1/2)

I have tried time and time again to understand relativity, and I think I FINALLY got it. What I was mixing up in my head was general relativity (about gravity) and special relativity (about motion). And I thought if one observer moves, that means... (1/2)

Am I the only one who doesn't mind AI art? Some of it that's done well (prompted, picked out from many iterations, etc.) actually looks quite good to me. I even thought this kind of AI art from the early days was cool.

I began setting up #Supabase for my project this weekend. I'm liking it so far, but MAN they don't make it easy to selfhost, particularly the analytics module. Well at least I got it done in the end and now I have access to great admin tools for my project.

The #PostgreSQL timestamp data type allows setting time-dates up to the year 294,276 AD. Boost if you're also looking forward to Y294276, when all Postgres DBs in the World crash and planes start fallint out of the sky 😎
