She also runs https://web3isgoinggreat.com which is helpful for staying just-enough up to date with all the crazy things going on in the crypto space if you don't want to sign up for her newsletter!

If you're looking for old computers, CRTs, and all sorts of periphery, there's a fantastic little online shop that ships out of Vancouver, Canada: http://woodgrain.tv

Lately, I've been wanting to explore the DOD pattern in the world of full-stack web development to see if there would be similar benefits. Might put together a proof-of-concept this weekend!

Has anyone else explored this?

For what it's worth, I built a service that allows you to use Google Maps and a dictionary over SMS: https://gistsms.com

I've stopped working on the project but would be curious to hear if there's still interest!

Using the following helped me join: ssh devzat.hackclub.com -p 443

... to get around my firewall!

For what it's worth, I've heard people have good success with: https://brilliant.org/ (not affiliated)

It's highly interactive and engaging, which helps it feel less dry!

I've seen people promote Language Tool as an alternative: https://languagetool.org It appears to be open source and you can host your own server!

I have a few devices so I store the passwords as a git repo and periodically push/pull between them -- super seamless.

I'm currently building a game engine using flecs as my ECS: https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs

There's lots of great example code in the docs and within the repo itself, for what it's worth!

I've been wanting to enter the game space for some time now. Is this what you do full-time? If so, how did you transition from web dev to game dev?

I freaking love his guides, I'm currently reading through his C guide: https://beej.us/guide/bgc/

It's very entertaining to read though which holds my attention well, and is well suited to people with existing programming experience. I've tried to read K&R but I keep coming back to Beej's.

Wow Pirsch looks incredible, will definitely use them for my blog and projects.

I love the idea behind this, a "support local" spin on digital products.

Myself and others would appreciate one for Canada! Perhaps I should build it.

I've had good success on my side-business with Piku: https://piku.github.io It's essentially a lightweight PaaS that you can run on your own hardware (even ARM)

This looks verrryy similar to https://www.vim.so

Another one to consider is https://www.django-unicorn.com if you want that LiveView feeling for Django.

For my latest project[1], I've opted for https://unpoly.com instead of Alipine+htmx as Unpoly allows me to write 100% server-side code and sprinkle some progressive enhancement where desirable. As a result, I can offer a no-JS experience (minus the Stripe Checkout) for those who may want/need it. Additionally, it forces me to focus solely on the server-side, and I write more idiomatic Django code as a result.

This is fantastic, especially as we see trends around owning your data. Tools like this allow us to migrate away from proprietary solutions like Airtable or Google Sheets.

On the other hand, I could also see this being used as somewhat as an "Admin UI" for SaaS software administrators.

I love this -- I would use this if there was Linux support!

Until then, I'll have to get by with SQLime or DBeaver :(

I feel the same way, I don't fully trust hosted solutions but don't completely trust myself to host my own -- which is where E2E encryption comes into play, but a malicious host would still have access to loads of metadata (timestamps, IPs, etc.).

Blockchain-based solutions like Status.im appear to do away with these sorts of issues through decentralization -- but you still have to put trust into their network.

Solutions like TLS & OMEMO over Tor for XMPP seem to be a very strong privacy-centered solution outside of blockchain-based applications.

Not sure what exactly they were referring to, but here are some of them: https://github.com/libremonde-org/paper-research-privacy-mat...

I made the switch from DDG to Startpage.com the day when Bing/DDG censored "tank man" results on the anniversary of Tiananmen Square, haven't looked back.

I do miss the !bangs, so I have a browser shortcut to access those when I need them.

I used PopOS on my Lemur Pro work machine for about a year until the motherboard died. System76 quickly replaced the board with the newer model that has a Thunderbolt port (blessed).

Overall, PopOS feels a lot like Ubuntu with Pop Shell and System76 drivers. Once I got the machine back from them, I installed Fedora w/ Pop Shell and those drivers -- the system feels snappier with less jank.

However, I am biased as I've ran Fedora for a while now on my Thinkpad.

Sorry to hear that! I had a similar issue happen to me where my Lemur Pro wouldn't boot after doing a series of upgrades — including a kernel update.

After hours of panic in Recovery mode and approaching a re-image, the fix was simply pinning the kernel to 5.8 instead of 5.11 and using kernelstub to use 5.8.
