After redoing my home network, I would not use the 192.168.0.x or 192.168.1.x ip spaces again. Changing IP addresses of Kubernetes and vital network services is a massive pain and routers sometimes have defaults in those IP spaces.

Why is Postman so popular? Is there any workflow that is easier and faster in Postman than in cURL?

An APC battery backup UPS sounds an alarm when the battery fails. And the only way to cancel it is to turn the whole thing off. It's awful by design. Which unnecessarily makes the battery the single point of failure. Which is what I wanted to eliminate by getting a UPS in the first place.

Most disappointing technology I spent time learning: Ansible.
Look, I know admin scripting isn't as performance-critical as, say, a database, but this is ridiculous. It's too slow for even a home network, let alone an office with 100 or more workers.

A digital "signature" for a contract that collects an IP address for their records... but:
1) IP means nothing, they are easy to spoof and I could be doing this from anywhere -- hotel, coffee shop, friend's house, VPN...
2) A `10._._._` IP address? That's the back-side of their router.

Made a passport holder for myself to match one I made for my wife last year. Same style but hers has a tab flap and a credit card holder on the back, while mine has a rear-attached full flap.

What I like so far about Encore:
- DevOps tooling is rich, making it easy to browse APIs and deploy
- I love how the database handling is so simple, and the queries are parameterized using template literals.

Building a new TypeScript web app scaffold and considering whether to keep using ExpressJS or move on.
I like ExpressJS's simplicity and large community, but it's quite old, and Express 5 probably won't go anywhere, and I'm worried it's going to hold me back.
So Fastify? Koa?

Released version 2.1.0 of `test-battery`. Test-battery replaces `chai` with a better concept of assertion library:
- Handles promises the same as immediate values,
- Has better flow control to gather more test failures.
The new update is plays well with TypeScript.
