Someone, somewhere, is building a JavaScript framework to replace a JavaScript framework that was built to replace a JavaScript framework.
Notion is one of the last daily apps I use that's not self-hosted. It's about time I find a solid replacement for note-taking and task planning.
I'm currently trying out AFFiNE and Obsidian to see if they fit the bill.
Really hoping the new Obsidian Bases feature turns out great!

I urge you to self-host as much as you possibly can of the products and services you use.
You'll feel a real sense of relief, knowing your data is truly yours, and privacy feels a whole lot better that way.

Java often gets dismissed by new devs as 'enterprise bloat,' but let's be real: it's rock-solid.
Insanely extensive with tools for everything, and cross-platform like no other.
Been around forever for a reason. If you're building scalable stuff, give it another look – it's still great!

I hate instant messaging for anything that's not urgent.
We should get back to using email more often, where I only check it once or twice a day.
Non-urgent notifications still pull my focus, make me grab my phone, and totally destroy my flow state...
Yet we've normalized it.

I've said it time and time again, and I'll keep saying it:
Just use Postgres for everything.
It's versatile, reliable, handles it all, and there's an extension for basically anything you need.

Alright, I'm convinced. Immich is better than Google Photos and every other photo app. The AI features are GREAT, PRIVATE, and ACTUALLY USEFUL!

I've been thinking about startups.
Profitability isn't a milestone. It's freedom from funding chases.
Building Uni’s Easy lean and solo feels right. Focus on user value over hype.
Bootstrappers, does it give you more control or limit ambition?

Alright, I get the hype around OpenCode.
It's really good at using existing context and finding which files to update.
It's also just a really, really good TUI. Seriously!

All of the Affinity apps are now free! Canva acquired them from Serif, and this is such a cool development.
It might have just become the best photo editor available for Linux!

Why do people care so much about the "news"? Is FOMO really that important to them?
It's just fluff about other people and events, portrayed as crucial so people don't have time to do meaningful, actually important stuff.
Like, why do you need to know the news???

Imagine Microsoft Recall, but for Linux: open-source, runs entirely local, and respects your privacy.
Index your screen history without Big Brother watching.
As a self-hosting enthusiast, I'd love this—turning forgotten tabs and docs into instant recall.
FOSS could make it amazing!

Typst is freaking good!
You can basically program your document – write components & macros for reusable bits.
Ditch LaTeX pain for fast, flexible FOSS typesetting.
Try it!

MinIO's ditching binaries: now source-only builds for all.
Hardcore FOSS win for security and transparency, but a compile hurdle for some.

OpenAI's new ChatGPT Atlas browser is here,
integrating AI right into your browsing.
It reminds me of Comet's approach to
smarter web navigation.
But seriously, is prompting an AI
really faster than just clicking buttons?

Yesterday, half the internet went down because one data center region failed. Doesn't anyone see the issue? We're all reliant on external companies that ultimately depend on AWS us-east-1 somehow. 🤦
