Bruno, Scalar and curl don't need AWS to be up and running to call an API. Apparently Postman does?
This little tidbit was swiped from APIs you won’t hate.

Stopped in at an old friends reopening of Zone de Nutrition juice bar! Fabulous drinks and great conversations. If you’re out and about today in the West Island of Montréal, say hey to Jay up on St Jean blvd.

Self-hosted ntfy.sh yesterday. First setup I had not secured it and within 10 seconds, and yes, literally 10 seconds, I had over 100 hits from random IP addresses, probing the new sub domain. Second thing, it works great now that it is setup to be private. Third thing, I wonder if there is a way […]

First issue: Rosewill 12 bay raid case is 26” deep, rack is 19” deep. Anyone in the Montreal area need a new 16U closed rack cheap?
Will purchase a 27U deeper open rack that goes from 28” to 36". Since this is going in our concrete bunker (aka old coal room), sound is not an issue. Heck, our […]

Getting back to hobbies for relaxing:
1. Picked up the guitar after a couple of decades, 6-strong and 12-string. Fingers are killing me. On the bright side, discovered TuxGuitar. Wow, if I had this when I was 15 I would have learned so much faster!
2. My controller has arrived, and now watching […]

[Opinion]
Why do some people post on the fediverse, and add something like “if you reply in a way ‘I don’t like’, imma gonna block you.”
Don’t post in the first place?
I get blocking for abusive or hateful content, but just replying in a way someone doesn’t like?

Seems like ghost and buttondown are in a prime spot to up their game a tad and get some substack users to migrate.

Nothing really new here in regards to software packages needing good README/Docs and good samples. I’m curious if previous reports were much different on this question.
I was a tad surprised to see Google so high, and only google. Or is that a catch all for all search engines? Text suggests it […]

This is great news for local devs around Montreal. Diverse area of town and close to Old Montréal. May I suggest, if booking a hotel room, you do not book at the Hilton Doubletree on Jean Mance. Last time I was there they had a mice problem. But if you're feeling lucky, take a chance, maybe they […]

I’ve been a fan of Jeffrey Way since his day one of Laracasts. His latest video is well thought out and, in my opinion, is a positive and accurate look at AI in the coding world.
Jeffrey is done! No not done done … but he is accepting that things are no longer what they were. Watch the video if […]

Ordering one this week! We did a test once via some Canadian organization and they simply said, SAFE. But we have a 200 year old country home with a deepish basement, and lots of friends with much more airtight houses than us. Figure we can share the device around.

Right that's me ordered a #MikroTik cAP ax. I've only ordered one for now which will replace the UniFi AC Pro that is mounted on the upstairs landing ceiling. If I feel I need another once I'm happy with the first one then I'll fit it in the living room as I've cables run there too.

If other democracies want to help democracy in America right now, they can start selling our treasuries.
That seems to be the only thing that gets Republicans to take action against Trump.

We are meeting with our financial advisor this week to discuss how best to remove any USA based retirement and investment funds are still there. Moving forward, we will not be putting any of my investments into the USA, even if ours alone are small.

Carney better not back down on Trumps new 100% across the board. We all need to convince at least two people still going to or buying from the USA to stop. And they’ll tell two friends and so on… and so on…
