Schitt's creek ending was wonderful.
Given that apparently the Stranger Things finale was meh (idk, didn't watch it, just the scuttlebutt) and we're not that far removed from the disastrous GOT finale that retroactively made everyone have never cared about the show:

I love the bsky interface. But I just can't seem to tune the feed to show relevant content. I didn't think I would miss personalized feeds.
I am interested in tech, India related stuff.
The only thing I see is US centric stuff.
Any tips?

Saw this on Instagram. Feels weird to me. As a man, I want to be able to remove my armour around my partner.
She's my safe space. In fact, she's my armour.
That's how relationships should be in my mind.

It's been a year, and my perspective has changed. I realized a lot of these tools suffered from non-first class support in windows.
I switched my primary dev to an ubuntu server where I ssh into. nvim is better than vscode remote for me. And VIM motions rock. I have it everywhere now. #nvim #vim

NeoVim simply didn’t work out for me. The entire editor becomes very slow when working on chromium.
Idk how vscode manages to be so performant while being on electron. Though not complaining.

Finally decided to try out NeoVim after seeing the kickstart config.
I must say I am loving it. Still not very productive at Vim motions, but I can definitely see the potential.
Fingers crossed!

If you have the AUDACITY to play video games on "easy" or "story" mode...
I want you to know that I think that's a perfectly acceptable way to enjoy a video game that you paid for because you're supposed to enjoy your favorite pastime any way you like.
Real life's hard enough. Enjoy your hobby.👍

ASN.1 and PER/ DER are really good communication formats. Makes me sad that it isn't as popular as say protobuf. Especially since a lot of internet is actually build on top of it.

This is insane. I am impressed and worried now that even my font can open an attack surface.
Need to dig deeper, putting the worry aside I can see a great many applications here.

How do you all finish up your technical blog posts.
I barely put in a paragraph before getting overwhelmed about the amount of details I might need to expand upon.
