The @typescriptlang.org compiler API is an insanely powerful tool that few know exists or use. Likely because there is little to no documentation for it.

But once you learn the basics it's actually amazing!

There's only one thing worse than DNS, and that's DNS on macOS.

Wait, so to view “mature content” on Reddit in the UK I now need to give them a government ID or selfie proving I’m 18.

But to view porn you can just click a “Yeah sure I’m totally 18” button??

Waiting for the day people in the UK can sideload apps on iOS so I can finally sideload Apollo with my own API key.

I miss that app 🫡

I also took a moment to try out DurableObjects & I like the premise of them.

But I seriously feel like I am communicating with the ether. I have no way to view or control state stored. Metrics to track usage ofc but apart from that you would need to build your own tools to manage state / storage?

TIL about OTP time synchronisation / drift.

Why did I learn about this? Windows. Windows date & time. Fucking Windows.

On a side note though, shout out to: time.is

The fact cookie banners have now creeped their way into native apps, like Spotify, is hilarious and depressing

If AI tools are so good, why are they being shoe-horned into everything & forced down our throats with “PLEASE TRY ME!”

Products don’t need to be fancy and in your face. They just need to be good.

Why is React still using flow? Why are types not built in?

If @deno.land KV is powered by SQLite under the hood, why not expose it natively? Why do I need to use `@db/sqlite`?

Either that or I guess waiting for `node:sqlite` to go stable.

Building a homelab was the best choice I made years ago. It's the perfect place to try out & experiment with new tools & services.

Honestly, credit where it's due: @cloudflare.social has been killing it lately!

Expanding a storage pool means you need to repair a RAID array, which can take several hours, is wild!

I knew it would take a while to repair, but damn!

I spent my weekend trying out Komodo, an alternative to Coolify, and ran into some issues running it with `docker stack`.

So I decided to write up a quick guide on how to do it 👇 nuro.dev/posts/deploy...

I am at the point now where I can never tell if stuff like this in @typescriptlang.org is a bug or a feature
