It's 20 years since @seanphillips.bsky.social and I exchanged a sketchbook back and forth in the mail, a drawn &painted call and response. INTERSECTIONS may be out of print but here is a flip through that sketchbook. You can still find the book out there :)

I've asked the team behind Cue to come prepared to discuss the limits of configuration management when dealing with different configuration systems, for example, using Terraform, Kubernetes, and GitHub Actions to manage a single project, something that occurs more often than you would think.
Final call! 📣
Join us with @kelseyhightower.com tomorrow, Tuesday, Nov 4, at 17:00 UTC to explore the future of configuration with our Configuration Control Plane, and turn configuration from a source of risk into a source of reliability!

I made a daily word game!
This is sixhints, the goal is to guess a thing through a series of 6 clues that start ambiguous and get more specific as you go.
If this is up your alley, play today's word and let me know what you think! 🔗 sixhints.com

Need to get better at documenting my projects just been making this box and forgot to take loads of in progress pictures. Kind of looks like a mini coffin but it’s actually to store tools in. Made out of 18mm plywood

@rog.bsky.social after your little explore into Ziglang I was curious which you prefer Rust or Zig? If you had to pick between these two?

I've been exploring building HTTP servers in Go without any external dependencies for HTTP routing. Go 1.22's new router features, might mean we don't need third-party routers anymore!

Reading the atproto.com docs and trying to understand DID. When I setup my bsky account I claimed my domain for my handle but I set the _atproto dns record to "did=did:plc:..." but the atproto docs suggests I could set it to "did:web:aran.dev" but don't know if this would work or not?

@tomasmcguinness.bsky.social just wondering could your fart sensors detect when a radiator is filling with air and need bleeding based on the flow/return temperatures? Does the efficiency of a radiator and the temperatures fluctuate enough to detect that?

After finding the garage roof caving in on a car I may take a break from coding tonight. Garage door wouldn't open fully allowing me to take car out. Mentally exhausted from trying to prop roof and save the car!

Just going to add this to the list of reasons why I need a 3D printer
Finished the 1x20, upped my split flap game.
There's some issues (like coloured cables) and not perfectly aligned frames, which is caused by the 3d printing of the frames - but overall, I'm rather very proud of this.
