I’ve written up my latest project to get answers about gender and sexuality into the hands of curious people, replacing bullshit artists with agendas. Get involved!

Call someone a thumb. Go for it. Feels good.

Looking for a derogatory term but don’t want to be *ist about it? I’m always a fan of ‘peanut’ and particularly ‘thumb’.

Tech continues to kick my ass. I used Traefik for ingress for years, then they dicked about and made the OSS offering unsustainable.
So I switched to Gloo. Which worked fine. Now I find that using Gloo as just an ingress has become awful.
And Traefik has gone back to what it was before. Madness.

2025-03-25 14:11:45

Well this is going to be a stinker. If you’re using nginx ingress a) you can’t trust other pods right now and b) just grow up and use a proper ingress like Traefik

I am constantly blown away by how groundbreaking TOS was. In the era of Jim Crow, Dr. Richard Daystrom was a Black man with an understanding of computers, far beyond even Spock.
He was unquestionably capable and demanding of respect. And his name followed computing in Trek forever after.

I mean it would be a disservice to call this one a banger, but it is an incredible track.

Please stop using Flutter. I know the idea of “write once, run anywhere” is tempting. But it really doesn’t do native properly. It works fine until it doesn’t.
Just pick a platform. If that means I can’t use your app, I’ll live with that.

`python -c "from __future__ import braces"`

PSA: if you're building a new infrastructure-as-code codebase or looking to build one for yourself, I cannot recommend [Pulumi](https://pulumi.com) enough. Feature parity with Terraform - they generate many providers directly from Terraform, and some directly from the upstream provider's API docs.

Fun with AI. Wanted it to filter a YAML file for me. Prompt "filter dnsimple_zones.yml for system_record: false".
First tried feeding it to Warp. That.. didn't work. As in, for some reason it decided to turn the YAML into a Bind zone file.
Cursor understood the assignment. But a zone file? Blimey.

I will defend found footage to the death. In no other genre can have have a great idea, and make a whole film around that idea without any budget to speak of.
Sure, it benefits from cash - what doesn't - but you CAN make a great film for 50p and some string. That has massive value in itself.

Further to my last about Tom Baker: the man is such a wonderful lunatic https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/9a48e66ec6a813050f31911d595d5ad76db512b45b2edec6bee73a9fbbd4aca7/35370bb5909fb1c1787d66f1ab4dcc99a54d2c113d16628c6729a895a95c257b.webp

I cannot tell you how badass [Sunsama](https://www.sunsama.com) is.
I am allergic to daily planning and GTD. This thing is incredible.
Especially if you’re syncing in work from Notion and GitHub and schedules out to Google Calendar like me, but operates perfectly well all on its own.
Excellent.

Been looking into low effort and high impact options for code scanning on GitHub.
The two that I’ve found that work well, regardless of language of the repository, are Codacy and DevSkim, both of which can output SARIF.

Can’t read the news about Liz Kendal’s fucking benefit “reforms” because yet again, it’s easy to grab column inches by making the lives of disabled folks EVEN WORSE.

Really liking the iOS ability to type using your voice. I’m having dexterity problems at the moment and I can just speak to my iPhone and my iPad to write posts.

Doing some organising on Notion and discovered this absolutely incredible site if you're looking for free SVG icons.
It's superb. The biggest deal to me is that it doesn't try to mix in paid assets on the sly.

This is your regular reminder not to use Telegram under any circumstances.
t does nothing which isn’t replicated by Signal or even WhatsApp, both of which have an actual security model.
