Re:Tailscale Traces Database Corruption to 16y/o SQLite WAL-Reset Bug
on Thursday August 13, 2026 @01:27AM (#49282066)
Important features like App Connectors won't work with HeadScale.
Unfortunately, HeadScale is not a drop in replacement for TailScale. Most people don't realize this until they start self hosting.
Due to this, I had to migrate from Tailscale to NetBird, which is completely open source.

You can specify requirements at the top of file and uv can run the script after automatically installing the dependencies.

Re:Pocketbase – open-source realtime back end in 1 file

I used to use other tools like supabase and others for side projects.
After discovering pocketbase, I never went back to any of those tools. Works surprisingly well even for mid to large web-apps.

After trying out various file managers, I am able to do this in xplr file manager finally. Not sure if any other file managers support this.

Extracting Subset of Common Crawl Data on Laptop
Re:Extracting Subset of Common Crawl Data on Laptop

Each Common crawl monthly data consists of ~100 TB. For some use cases, we don't need entire data set. We just need a subset of the data.
In this post, lets see how we can extract sub set of the data from our laptop itself.

Re:Githubassets.com Cert Has Expired

We can also use ssl-cert-check cli tool. `ssl-cert-check -s avilpage.com -p 443 -x 30` will return if the certificate will expire in 30 days.
We can use this command in CI pipeline or setup a cron job to monitor it.
