This is as good a day as any to announce that I'm leaving my job early 2026 and starting a company around this thing.

Open Source

No AI features or other iffy bits

Trivially easy to self-host on very modest hardware (but it can *scale*)
Having a grand time working on █████. Haven't decided what's more exciting; the app itself, or the architecture behind it. This is going to be fun =)

My Pixel Watch 4 review: probably the least ludicrous entry in a device category that's wholly ludicrous

Is it too much to ask for a minimum of i18n QA for a €450 device, motherfuckers

Buying games on PS5 feels wrong now. Well played, Valve, you've won the console wars

Heads-up to @coolify.io users and basically everyone using Docker + Traefik:

@docker.com v29 introduces breaking changes that will torpedo the proxy.

You need to either downgrade, patch Docker or prevent auto-update

Node excitement 😉

Congrats to @marcoippolito.dev on making it official: type-stripping in Node 25 is now declared to be stable 🎉

You can run: node index.ts

The capabilities have not changed since Node 24. This is purely a maturity indicator.
Type stripping is now stable.
Enjoy 🌞
Node.js v25.2.0 Current is out 💚

Universal Control is the latest in a growing series of Apple disappointments. Unusable.

This is great news because it means that 97% of all posts were not about baseball
This is wild: Bluesky says at least 3% of all posts made on November 1 -- Game 7 of the World Series -- were about baseball. bsky.social/about/blog/1...

Appreciation post of tech stuff I currently love very much:

- NATS (it's nuts) and JetStream (hot damn)
- wgo (restart Go app on source change, better than Air)
- mise (task runner/tool version manager)
- Svelte and SvelteKit (superb DX)
- Tailwind (not kidding)
- Claude Code (so good)
- PICO-8 ❤️

My latest experimentation in Svelte & SvelteKit was to revisit the i18n problem space, this time with remote function. Hoping this can add to the conversation...

All eyes on a stable release of async and remote function. And maybe i18n out of the box soon🤞
