Time Machine is really sweet. It's effortless to setup and runs quietly in the background. Unfortunately it's less ideal for development, especially the node_modules including caching of the package manager is not-so-sweet. You have to be very cognisant in managing exclusions. Once in = never out.

If you are using SSL certificates that are trusted in your truststore (like OrbStack or Caddy) and you are accessing them from NodeJS you might know the pain of the invalid cert hell 🙈.
NodeJS has a flag `--use-system-ca` that will "fix" this!
Should work on MacOS and Windows.

Giving MacOS 26 Tahoe a go. I personally do not mind the liquid glass. It's nice. What I don't like though yet is the feeling of the design not being done! The rounded corners are to big (personal opinion, and it would be nice to be able to configure them). But what is worse imo is...

Directus 11.10.2 breaks one or more extensions that are also used in the simple-website-cms starter.. at least that is my assumption now for having a broken build. Let's debug 😬.

I love this command: rsync for seamlessly syncing projects across multiple computers!
rsync -av -e ssh \
--delete-after \
--exclude 'node_modules' \
--exclude 'dist' \
--exclude '.idea' \
--dry-run \
other-host:/path/to/project/remote/ .
rsync -av -e ssh \
--delete-after \
--exclude 'node_modules' \
--exclude 'dist' \
--exclude '.idea' \
--dry-run \
other-host:/path/to/project/remote/ .

I've checked out the Crowdin for @directus.io on crowdin.com/project/dire.... Nice project and a great way to collaborate on translations!
So I took a stab and added "a couple" translations for the nl-NL version 😬. Let's see how this goes!

Any Nuxt devs using Webstorm here? The auto-import system is confusing me a bit, I don't like not being able to "CMD+Click" into a function so I am curious to know how others handle this.

WWDC 2025 has started. Lot's of updates to the software. What caught my eye most was the updated Rayc... uh Spotlight! But jokes aside, good to see actual updates to spotlight!

@railway.com is rolling out a new feature: "Project Deletion Hold Window". Love that idea!
A 2-day “are you really absolutely ridiculously sure” timer. I can only imagine the headaches that this will safe. But off course there will be a first "I accidentally forced delete it anyway, help!" 😅.

Sweet! @coolify.io will soon support "Full SSL Support" for all Databases. It will enable making secure connections to all supported Databases. Even `verify-full` for PostgreSQL will be possible.
Can't wait for this!
More on it in the actual merged PR: github.com/coollabsio/c...

Nice! The newest reMarkable software update adds a "Disk Encryption" feature! Curious to see how well that goes since it does require a factory reset of the device.

The best error messages are the one that tell you "something went wrong". Something... 🙈

I can't help it, I don't get it. Why is encryption at rest for our data on cloud providers not enabled by default? IMO it should be something not having to think about. It feels the same as when we started to see https as the default way to serve websites. That also was a "thing"...

With @railway.com it's now finally possible for the Hobby plan as well to deploy to an EU region (AMS) with Railway Metal! Fingers crossed volumes will soon be possible as well 🤞🤘.

A PVC on your cluster with state “Lost” is horror. Truly scary 😱. Especially if you notice next the PV is really gone. Restore o’clock!

A lovely combi, two git commands to cleanup your working copy:
git reset HEAD --hard &&
git clean idfx
It resets the repo to HEAD (reverting al changes to tracked files) and it cleans all your untracked and ignored files and directories.

DigitalOcean announced today a new feature: the ability to create per-bucket access keys. Its actually very good news this is FINALLY possible! I always found it strange this was not possible. But let's move on, now we can 🥳.

Personal take: I would love if there was a lot more attention to encryption of (sensitive) data on services (paas/saas/baas/whatever). Front to back.
For example, full disk encryption for VMs in the cloud is mostly manual and not well documented (by the providers).

Tip of the day 🤪:
If you are using server actions in NextJS to post a form, make sure your input element has an `name` and not just an `id`. Otherwise the field won't be available in your FormData field.
Hint: if you use shadcn/ui the name field does not come out of the box, you need to add it!
