If like me you have a mental model that SQLite doesn't accept outside contributions you should update it, I just got called out by D. Richard Hipp for spreading that misinformation in a comment on Hacker News

They DO accept contributions, but are very selective (only ~37 contributors total so […]

I bought DDR5 memory for my PC in 2024 for 179 euros. The same memory now costs 618 euros. WTF :ablobcatkeyboardbreak:

Due to disruptions in the Schiphol Airport my luggage was delayed on my way to Kraków, Poland. I do have an AirTag in my luggage so I could see that the same day it arrived in Krakow’s Balice Airport. It stayed there over the weekend and on Sunday appeared in Warsaw Airport.
I am staying at […]

next: Bite Size Networking

This is a sequel to Bite Size Command Line, but for networking tools. I love that there are so many tools to see what's going on on your network, but it can be a little overwhelming at first.

It has examples and the command line […]

I wrote this because my brother was learning to program, I wanted to recommend a guide to debugging to him, but I couldn't find one.

THIS IS NOT A DRILL

I will ship cookies to the person who improve zed config file auto-completion to include the schema for rust-analyzer configuration.

I have published a blog post with a new approach of learning GStreamer. I have basically implemented a very bare-bones GStreamer-like library in Python from scratch to show some of how some of the GStreamer abstractions work underneath. This gives you the […]

We have open-source 3D printers,. But how is it possible that we don't have open-source 2D paper printers? :blobcatthinkingglare:

Wow, this is amazing: https://typst.app

I will be migrating my resume to this platform. I had been using Overleaf for a long time. But Typst is excellent at this point, and much easier to understand than LaTeX.

I don't know what the hell is going on, but my Route53 bill skyrocket last couple of months. From a few euros to over 50 euros. So I moved my domains out of AWS out of it. Probably AI bots.. I don't know. But seems like an attack on my wallet.
