Cheddar cheese and branston pickle is the ultimate starter pack for a crisp-enhanced sandwich.

No other filling comes close to complimenting crisps.

Especially pickled onion monster munch.

I feel like I need a third monitor now to be my "AI" window.

So often I have Claude Code running and forget to check it - leave it for an hour and it's just sitting there on "can I move this file?"

Trying to have a proper crack at configuring Mega Linter (megalinter.io/latest/)

It's potential is incredible, but trying to migrate existing linting config and set it up is mind bending.

If anyone has any example config or tips, they would be appreciated!

@mmazzarolo.com Hey, thanks for your CSP post (mmazzarolo.com/blog/2021-12...)

Been banging my head against the wall about `px.ads.linkedin.com` and I think your note near the end has hit the nail on the head!

If you're using Hetzner:

I just saved over €10 a month (doesn't seem a lot but that's 25% of our bill) and increased resources of our VMs by rescaling them onto the new pricing.

Worth a look!

Someone I know has had their wordpress website hacked but it only manifested itself if you come from a search engine.

Explained to Claude Code (with Playwright MCP) the symptoms and within minutes it had identified the questionable requests and scripts along with an explanation as to what and why.

"Why do we have round lenses on cameras, but rectangle sensors and photos?"

That and other shower thoughts that I think about quite a lot

Did I purposefully add 10 minutes to my workout this morning so I could listen to Taylor Swift's new album in full?

Yes. Yes I did.

I've just got a MacBook M4 Pro and am looking for a single cable docking station for my 2 screens.

I have HDMI on one and HDMI/DisplayPort/USB C (with DP Alt) on the other.

Needs to also work with a Windows laptop.

Does anything exist?

Would I be silly buying a MacBook Pro now or should I wait for the M5? Are prices going to jump up?

I've just set up and configured GitlabForm (gitlabform.github.io/gitlabform) for synchronising settings across all our repositories.

Incredible and an absolute game-changer

So, shamefully, I've been "vibe coding" recently. Not so much at work but more for evening side-projects - being able to set something whirring while washing up is potentially a game-changer.

I've een trying Gemini CLI and Claude Code and both are quite impressive. Any others people are using?

If there was one thing I could change about how the internet, it would be that domains names go the other way
(e.g. uk.co.bbc.www)

That way it would make sense when listed alphabetically!

I've got a new computer for work and have been setting up the basic apps.

What struck me was not once did I open the app store. All the apps I installed had a direct download link (some also had App Store ones too).

Is there a general movement to boycott the App store?

Managed to replace the Start/Stop button in my car to fix it and now I feel like I can do anything

With the drop in price of the premium tier, I'm trying to decide if Gitlab premium is worth it.

Is $900 less (for a year) as it stands which is pretty chunky.

Anyone upgraded/running premium? Any unexpected killer features?

Anyone know of a good, reliable portable air con unit suitable for a home office?

Today's annoyance is cyclists that are slower than you but then refuse to follow the rules of the road like stopping at red lights, so they sail past dodging pedestrians while you're waiting.

I'm doing the London to Brighton bike ride this year and I'm faced with a very first-world problem. Which of my bikes should I use? 🤔
